For the proper APA format, the paper should be typed and double-spaced on standard-sized paper (8.5" x 11", with 1-inch margins on all sides. A running header must be included at the top of every page, in addition to a paper title and page number.

Papers using APA format are typically divided into four major sections: the title, abstract, the main body, and the references.

From Purdue University's Online Writing Lab (OWL):

"The title page should contain the title of the paper, the author's name, and the institutional affiliation. A professional paper should also include the author's note. A student paper should also include the course number and name, instructor name, and assignment due date. Include the page header (described above) flush left with the page number flush right at the top of the page."

"A professional paper should include the author note beneath the institutional affiliation, in the bottom half of the title page. This should be divided up into several paragraphs, with any paragraphs that are not relevant omitted."

For citations, the specific format includes the author's name written with the last name first, followed by the first name initial. Then the year of publication, title in italics, and publisher's name as last.

See this example below:

Last name, Initials. (Date of publication). Book title [ebook format details]. Retrieved from URL or https://doi.org/xxxx

To use in-text citations in APA format, use the following method. In parentheses, place the last name of the author and the year of publication for your source, as it should appear in the text. Here is an example: (Evans, 2001). One full reference for each source should be listed in the citation list on the last page of your work.

For the mentioning of another work without directly quoting the contents, or making reference to a whole book, article, or other work, you can just make reference to the author and the year of publication and not any specific page number in your in-text citation.
