but students should use it as a reminder
of the various APA rules that academic papers follow. If
students are not sure what a particular item in
the checklist refers to or entails, they should follow the link for
more information. Additionally, the
Writing Center can always help with APA questions at

Past tense is used whenever literature or sources are talked
about (i.e., Smith discussed)
Serial commas are used for all lists of three or more items (i.e.,
lions, tigers, and bears)
Hyphens are:
Used to join words that work together to modify another word
(i.e., evidenced-based practice)
Used to join “self” compounds (i.e., self-esteem)
Not used with prefixes such as non, semi, pre, post, anti, multi,
and inter
Block quotes (of 40 or more words) are formatted as such
Headings follow proper APA style (i.e., level 1 headings are
centered and bolded)

10 and above are expressed using numerals
Nine and below are expressed using words
Expressing specific numbers and time use numerals

Expressing approximate time use words
Complex lists of items follow seriation rules (using letters
within the list)

Walden University School of Nursing Faculty, September, 2010
Study Notes:
Common APA Style and Formatting Challenges
The following guidelines are followed by most faculty members
on most Walden
coursework.
1. Font: Use a 12-point serif font, such as Garamond, Times
Roman, or Palatino.
Titles, headings, and table titles and copy should also appear in
the same 12-
point type.
2. Spacing: Double-space all of your work. Per APA’s revised
6th edition, you
may insert either one space or two spaces after a period.
3. Margins and page numbers: All margins should be 1" from
the edge of the
paper. Page numbers go in the upper right corner, 1" down and
1" in from the

edge of the paper. The first line of text should start 1.5" down.
(Note: MS Word
defaults the first line of text at 1".)
4. Italics: Use italics, not underlines. APA does not allow bold
type except in
headings, tables and figures.
5. Punctuation: The APA nuance most commonly missed by
students follows:
In a series of three or more nouns or noun phrases, you must
insert a comma
before the word and or or, as in the following examples: bacon,
lettuce, and
tomato; Tom, Dick, or Harry; eating lunch, going to the gym,
and then going
home.
Use a semicolon to combine two independent clauses or to
separate elements of
a list that contain a comma, as in the above example.
Add an apostrophe + s for possessives of names: Smith’s;
Jones’s.
Do not hyphenate most prefixes: semistructured,
nondenominational, multimedia,
antisocial.
6. Capitalization and spelling: Do not capitalize job titles unless
immediately
preceding a person’s name: the superintendent, but
Superintendent Williams; the
president of the school board; Vice President Agnew.

Use a lowercase letter after a colon unless introducing a
complete sentence.
In general, do not hyphenate words with prefixes: pretest,
posttest,
antidiscrimination, bilingual, codependent, multinational,
underserved,
overextended.
When a colon is part of the title of an article in the reference
list, the first
word after the colon is capitalized (Health policy: The new era).
7. Lists (Seriation) and Bullets: Within a paragraph, list items
using (a), (b), (c),
and so on. The teachers identified three challenges: (a) teaching
hungry children,
(b) making do with outdated books, and (c) organizational
bureaucracy.
In a vertical list, list the items like this:
1. Teaching hungry children is difficult.
2. Using outdated books creates misconceptions.
3. Organizational bureaucracy limits access.

Bullets are also used.
The following are barriers to education:
• Teaching hungry children;
• Making do with outdated books; and
• Organizational bureaucracy.
8. Numbers and percentages: The rules for numbers are tricky
and should be
studied. In general, numbers 10 and higher appear as numerals;
nine and
lower are written out. There are exceptions: elements of time,
distance, ratios,
and percentages always appear as numerals, unless at the start
of a sentence.
Use a percentage sign unless at the start of a sentence:
There was a 4% increase in the price of lettuce.
Seventy percent of the children were malnourished.
We administered 4.15 mg of peanut butter.
9. Use respectful language: The Pocket Guide to APA Style (pp.
59-62) offers
important information on language use with respect to gender,
race, disabilities,
and so forth. Avoid the generic pronouns he and she, or he/she,
when possible,
by using they:

Wrong: When a nurse has a bad day, she feels like screaming.
Better: When nurses have a bad day, they feel like screaming.
Formatting In-text Citations
These basic rules relate to in-text citations.
1. Use the author/date system. Be careful with punctuation.
Others (Duncan, 2003; Evans & Barker, 2004) challenged
Gould’s
(1999) analysis.
Separate the two pairs of studies with a semicolon. Use an
ampersand (&)
as a substitute for the word and when inside parentheses.
2. Do not plagiarize. Just changing a couple of words or
rearranging a sentence
is not paraphrasing. For direct quotes, identify the page number
or
paragraph number of the original source. When paraphrasing,
identify the
author, date and page number.

Original of Latham (2006): Luxury boxes and other amenities
aimed at
affluent fans are one way to attract new revenue to a stadium,
but the
public dollars that fund them benefit only the privileged classes,
not the
common good.
Plagiarism: Luxury boxes and other amenities aimed at rich
fans are a
way to get new revenue at a stadium. However, the public
monies that
fund them benefit only the wealthy—and not the common good
(Latham,
2006).
Paraphrased: Latham (2006) argued that spending public dollars
on
comforts enjoyed solely by wealthy fans is not in the overall
public interest
(p. 432).
3. Normally, the final punctuation after a direct quote comes
after the page
identifier while the final/closing quotation mark comes right
before page
identifier, as in this example:
Jorgenson (2005) indicated that the price of coffee rose
“dramatically”
during the previous decade because of “consumers’ lust for an
overpriced
buzz” (p. 513).

4. When directly quoting a source of 40 or more consecutive
words, format
the quote in block form. The final punctuation comes before the
parenthetical element.
If this were a direct quote, indent about five spaces on the left.
This is
in block form because it contains 43 words. The final period is
before
the parenthetical element, not after it as in the Latham
examples.
(Rachmaninoff, 1936, p. 3)
5. Cite different groups of authors in alphabetical order using
the first author’s
surname. Separate groups of authors with semicolons.
Several authors found that students enjoy reading stories about
real
people (Hart, 2008; Iksic & Holmes, 1995; Melnick, Ek, &
Fazio, 2010).
6. et al. should not be used the first time a work is cited unless

that work has six
or more authors. For works with fewer than six authors, list all
authors in the
first citation, then use the surname of the first author and "et
al." and the year
in subsequent references. Be careful with the punctuation.
As noted earlier, Melnick et al. (2010) suggested that. . . .
7. With two or more authors in a parenthetical citation, use "&"
rather than "and"
before the last author.
Stein and Hernandez (2005) but other authors (Gomez &
O’Hara, 2007). .
. .
Formatting the Reference List
Several software companies have created programs to
automatically format your
reference list per APA (including APA itself). Students have
spoken highly of
Zotero, Perrla, and several others. Check the Walden Writing
Center
(writingcenter.walden.edu) for information.
The following examples are formatted with hanging indents.
Commas separate
all authors, and use an ampersand (&), not the word and. Only
surnames appear
in full; otherwise, use initials. Use italics or underlines—but
choose one and be
consistent. Book titles appear in sentence case—not title case.

Include the postal
code for state abbreviations with the city.
1. An entire book.
Melnick, A., Ek, S. A., & Fazio, M. J. (2010). Finishing high
school without trying.
Erie, PA: Peach Street Press.
2. A chapter in an edited book.
Pogoff, S. (2008). Hair and nails to match. In L. Rubenstein &
A. Perl (Eds.),
Preteen survival guide (pp. 48–56). New York, NY: Gordon
Books.
Note that in the above example, Pogoff, the chapter author, gets
the in-text
citation—not the book editors.
3. A journal article.
Latham, M. (2008). The future of stadiums is not the past.
Sports Economics, 17,
431–468.
Note in that the title of the article is written in sentence case,
and no quotation
marks are used, nor does pp. appear before the page numbers.

4. A magazine article, no author.
Enough scandals for one day. (2009, May 19). Newsweek, 46.
When the author is not provided, indicate the title of the author
in the first spot. In
the in-text citation, the article title is shortened, in quotation
marks, to lead the
reader to the right spot in the references. (“Enough Scandals,”
2009).
5. Newspaper article found online.
Bartlett, S. (2010, March 3). Schools helpless against nursing
shortage. Press-
Republican. Retrieved from
http://pressrepublican.com/0100_news/x1726192028/Schools-
helpless-
against-nursing-shortage
7. One author, two publications in the same year.
Whittemore, A. (2009a). Finding a path toward recovery.
Journal of Zen Studies,
15, 314-345.
Whittemore, A. (2009b). Loss of hair and the effect on the
aging white male.

Coping Today, 13, 25-29.
In text, note the first publication by citing it as (Whittemore,
2009a), the second
as (Whittemore, 2009b).
8. A reprinted version of an earlier text, in an edited volume.
Watson, M. (2004). Balancing family and work. In H. Simon &
F. Parker,
Psychological despondence (pp. 135–150). (Original work
published
1915).
If you read something that was originally published in a
different book or journal,
cite both dates in text, separated with a slash: (Watson,
1915/2004)
9. A secondary source—meaning, you didn’t read something
that the
author you read has referred to.
Suppose you read the following on page 203 in a book by
Hassan (2006), and
you want to refer to the work by Reynolds that you did not read
firsthand:
Economic and political conditions in sub-Saharan Africa in the
1990s led to a large
increase in the number of African immigrants to the Upper
Midwest (Reynolds, 2003).

In your paper, you will write Reynolds (as cited in Hassan,
2006) stated that
struggles in sub-Saharan Africa near the end of the 20th century
resulted in an
increase in the native African population into the American
Upper Midwest (p.
203).
10. Personal communication.
Per APA, references to personal communication, such as letters,
memos, email
messages, or phone interviews, show up only in-text and not in
the reference list.
The drop in crime among youth may actually increase the need
for mental
health services in Aitkin County (M. Lemieux, personal
communication,
February 1, 2005).
Citing Web-Based Articles
Citing documents. To cite a specific document on the web, start
by
following the format of other documents as noted in the APA
manual. Below are

two common examples. The first is an online version of a print
article,
unchanged, that you find on the journal’s website
Lippold, L., & Johnson, B. (2010). Religious intolerance in the
health care
profession. Issues in Atheism, 5, 146–157. doi:
10.8902143875cxuyg1.
The in-text citation would simply refer to Lippold & Johnson
(2000).
If you have no doi number, then show the URL of the journal’s
homepage.
Bodine, J., Clampett, J., & Clampett, E. M. (2004). Management
practices of the
recently wealthy. Journal of Accumulation, 18, 345–378.
Retrieved from
www.joa-wealth.com.
For a “permanent” website, meaning one that is likely to be
around for a long
time:
Sainio, D. (2001). Writings on the tranquility of catching
walleye. Retrieved from
http://www.rsi.edu/journals/sainio.
NOTE: this inactive URL is for example purposes only

If referring to the entire text, the in-text citation would simply
refer to Sainio
(2001).
