A PowerPoint presentation should be a summary or a reflection of your research paper. Finish your research paper before creating slides. The title slide of the presentation should contain the same information as the title page of your research paper. Be consistent with the wording and order of the title, authors, and their affiliations.
Because Microsoft Office PowerPoint has already formatted the title slide, you can put the title of the research paper in the "Title Box." Copy the title of the research paper and insert it in the title box. If you are not using a preformatted title slide, place the title at the center of the title slide. The title should be in title case.
Insert the author's name and affiliation in the subtitle box. The author's name is in title case and centered. Like the research paper, the APA prefers researchers to put first name, middle initial(s), and last name. All titles and degrees are omitted. If there is more than one author and all authors are from the same affiliation, write the author's names in one line. Otherwise, separate the authors based on their affiliations. After you have typed the author's name, put the corresponding affiliation centered under the author's name on the next line. Include multiple affiliations if more than one institution contributes a significant amount of support to the project. If the author does not have any affiliation, put the author's city and state of residence.
Insert the page number in your PowerPoint, including the title slide. That means the page number of the cover page is 1. APA style prefers numbers only for page numbers. Do not insert "Page 1."
Some presenters put the date and/or location of the presentation on the title slide. This practice is optional. However, if you choose to include these information, place them after the affiliation line.
