Proofreading for APA style
As we move into the final stage of this writing project, it might be a good idea to go back and
review the entire APA guide to ensure that you have all of the pieces in place for this final step.
Throughout this tutorial, we will discuss some of the key areas you need to look at when
proofreading to make sure your paper meets APA standards.
Checking your Work
This checklist should be used to ensure that your papers and documents are in proper APA style.
Formatting:
● Font used is 12 pt Times New Roman.
● One inch margins on all sides.
● Running head is the title of your paper (up to 50 characters; no longer than five words).
● Running head (abbreviated title) is flush left and in ALL-CAPS.
● Page number is top, flush right, starting on the title page
In-text Citations:
● Do you provide appropriate in-text (i.e. parenthetical) citations for all uses of external
source material?
● Do those in-text (i.e. parenthetical) citations include all of the necessary information (e.g.
author name(s), dates)?
● Do those in-text (i.e. parenthetical) citations precede the final punctuation of the
sentences in which they appear?
Reference Page:
● Is your References page separated from the last page of your paper with a page-break? It
is important that your References page begin at the top of a new page immediately
following the last page of the text of your essay, report, paper, etc. So, you need to insert
a page-break (e.g. see the “insert” menu if using Microsoft Word) after the last line of the
3
text of your paper, rather than using the Return/Enter key, to ensure that your list of
References begins at the top of the following page.
● Is your References page formatted according to the guidelines outlined above (e.g. is the
title References centered)?
Are lines following the first line in each entry, indented appropriately? Hint: the way to
ensure proper indentation is by setting/changing the hanging indent within your
document, rather than by using space or tab key.
Remember to Check Your Paper for Possible Plagiarism:

Graduate Student Seminar: Writing an Academic Paper
Here are a few tips for free writing:
- Don't worry about grammar, spelling, coherence - just get your thoughts down
- Set a timer for 5-10 minutes and write continuously without stopping
- You can write about anything related to your topic - key points, questions, objections
- Let your mind wander and explore different angles and perspectives
- The goal is quantity over quality to get ideas flowing freely on the page
- You can go back later to organize, refine and integrate your free writing into an outline
Free writing is a useful brainstorming technique to get past internal editing and help generate new insights.
