Follow general APA guidelines for documents. These include 1 inch margins, 12-point Times New Roman font and double-spacing throughout your article. Paragraph indentations should range from five to seven spaces
Ensure the correct order of pages. Your article should have a Title Page, Introduction, Abstract and Body. Finish with your references, any tables, figures or appendixes.
Include in-text citations. According to APA style, you should include the author's name and the publication date of the source in parentheses in the text. A direct quote should also include the page number from the source.
Follow APA style for tables. Display each table on a separate page with a double-spaced heading.
Follow APA style of references. Note that print and electronic sources are referenced differently, as are books, articles and other print sources. Use a separate page and label with 'References' in the center. Remember to use double-spacing.
