Edition APA Formatting
An APA formatted paper is created using one-inch margins at the top, bottom, left, and
right sides. APA papers are always double spaced. Paragraphs are indented ½ inch. Just type the
TAB key once. The body of your paper consists of the information you researched on your
paper’s topic in order to support your own position or thesis.
If the information in your paper is not your own original thought, you need to include an
in-text citation and a references page to give credit to the original author of the idea. Your paper
should include direct quotes and paraphrasing. You will notice in this paper, there are several
different types of in-text citations, and they have been created using correct APA formatting for
in-text citations.
Types of In-Text Citations
In-text citations are used when you paraphrase, summarize, or otherwise refer to
information you’ve learned during your research. The first two in-text citations in this paper are
examples of how to set up in-text citations when you’re paraphrasing, summarizing, or referring
to the information from a source rather than copying text word for word. They demonstrate how
to give credit to the author. For the first type of citation, place the author’s last name and the year
of publication at the end of the sentence in parenthesis (Reed, 2005). Notice the comma and
space after the author’s name and notice the period for the sentence is after the final parentheses.
Another variation is when you use the author’s name at the beginning of the sentence. In the
following sentence, you will notice that Mary Nelson’s last name only appears at the beginning
of the sentence; therefore, the in-text citation immediately follows her name. According to
Nelson (2005), the use of APA formatting for in-text citations is very easy to complete.
The paper begins with the full title of the paper.

MKTG522—APA Guidelines and Writing Tips
APA Guidelines and Writing Tips
General Information on APA Format
APA format represents a writing style for most academic papers in a college environment. If students follow this style, they will have well-organized essays that will be constructed to effectively avoid plagiarism. Although a lot of students consider this format to be complicated, it involves a lot of basic steps that are easy to understand if they are explained correctly. These steps involve the basic format of the paper, parenthetical citations for source information, and an organized reference page.
Basic Format
The basic format for APA involves the title page, page numbering, and spacing of the entire essay. The title page itself must include a running head, the title of the essay, the author, and the university where the paper is presented. A sample title page would have information like the following.
Differences Among 1
Running head: DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
Differences Among Victims of Domestic Abuse and Victims of Cult Abuse
Clara E. Gerl
Northwestern State University
As seen in the title page above, the pages are numbered with a short version of the title before the page number itself. This is placed on the upper right-hand side of each page. It is important that the short version of the title is placed on every page number. The spacing of the entire essay deals with the margins and the spaces between the lines of text. All margins in APA format are 1 inch and everything in APA is double spaced.
Parenthetical or In-text Citation
Any time a writer has specific information that comes from a certain source, it must be cited. If things are not properly cited, then the author is plagiarizingby not giving credit where it is due. The basics for parenthetical citation are that the author’s last name and the year that the article or journal was published must be clear within the text. A sample citation could read “(Dunn, 1991)”; if there is no author available, an abbreviated version of the title could be used. For instance, if someone was citing from an article called “California Cigarette Sales Fall 10% in September of 1998” but there was no author for this work, the citation could read (“California,” 1998).
All parenthetical citations within the essay must refer to the references page. For every entry on the reference page, there should be at least one parenthetical citation. Without the references page, the audience would never be able to understand exactly where the information could be found. This is essential because a good references page will give a lot of credibility to anyone as a writer.
References List
The basic format for source on a separate references page is to list the author’s last name first, then list the first initial of the first name only. After that, the date of the publication is listed, then the title of the source itself is written. The last two things to be written are the location where the wor ...

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

StepOne
In order to more clearly see where citations are for this rough draft
check, you may want to color-code your writing.
I like to make the text for any information gathered from an
outside source red. I like to make the citations blue. I prefer to
make my analysis green, and I make transition and topic
sentences orange.
This will allow you to pinpoint where each exists and to ensure that
each are present.
3. 3
Look everywhere in your paper!
● You may have information that you need to cite in your introduction. For
instance, if you included a statistic or a famous quote, you would need to cite
them.
● In the main body of your paper, you are sure to have consulted expert
resources. These may be in the form of direct quotes or summarized
information from your sources.
● In your conclusion, you may have included another famous quote!
Citations may exist anywhere in your paper!

4. RedandBlue
Must always go
together.
If you have used red
text to indicate
information from an
outside source and
if you used the color
blue to indicate your
citations, red and
blue must always be
near each other
since information
from outside
sources must
always be cited.
Green
Orange
These transition and topic
sentences that you have
colored orange must always
end paragraphs and should
also begin paragraphs (unless
it immediately follows a hook)
Most often cushions red and blue
In order to write a quality research
paper, you must analyze the content
you have chosen from your sources
to guide your reader to better
understanding your thesis
statement. When we check to
ensure our paper includes this, we
color-code the text green.
5. 5
If you have text from an outside source
that does not have corresponding
citations, please add them now.
In NoodleTools, do this by finding your source, selecting Options and choosing In-Text Reference.
As long as you formatted your cells properly, this will bring up a properly formatted parenthetical citation
that you can copy and paste into your paper.
6. 6
If you have summarized information from the resource in one or
more sentences, place the parenthetical citation at the end of
your last summarization sentence and before your analysis of the
content.
If you have a direct quote (taken word for word from the resource)
please make sure it is in quotation marks and place the
parenthetical citation right after the direct quote.

7. Regarding Direct Quotes
7
If you have used direct quotes, make sure that you are using
only the portion that actually helps and supports your
paper. The rest of the sentence(s) can be discarded.
If you are citing more than four lines of directly quoted text,
remember that you need to format them using block
quotations.
9. First, let’s check our punctuation
9
● Check that all of your periods placed outside of your citations
Example: ...the end of my sentence (Adams). Versus ...the end of my
sentence. (Adams).
If you have period in both places, you accidentally have created
two separate sentences. You only want one sentence with the
parenthetical citation included within that sentence.
● One exception to this is if you have included a direct quote which ends in a question mark or
exclamation point. Then it will look like this:
Example: ...the end of my sentence? (Adams).
● Another exception is if you used block quotations (for a direct quote of five or more lines.
Then it would look like this:
Example: ...the end of my sentence. (Adams)
10. Next, let’s find all citations that have an
author’s last name
10
● Check to see that, for one author, you have their last name
within a set of parentheses
Example: (Adams)
● For two authors, do you have one last name, the word
“and”, and then the next last name within parenthesis?
Example: (Adams and Miller)
● For three or more authors, do you have the first last name
with the words “et al.” following the first last name within
parenthesis?
Example: (Adams et al.)
11. For in-text citations that include an author’s
last name
11
● Did you provide a lead-in to communicate the author’s
credentials?
Example: “According to Bill Harder, a qualitative/survey
research methodologist at American University, …” versus
“According to Frank Bruni, …”?
● Does your author have highly academic credentials that
offer merit to your paper?
Example: Frank Bruni is actually a journalist for The New York
Times. While this position is highly coveted and prestigious, it
does not offer academic merit to your paper. Therefore, the
citation should be switched to a parenthetical citation.
12. Now, let’s look for any that do not include
author names
12
You must see either an article title or a book title within the parenthesis.
If you do not, something is wrong with your citation and must be fixed.
Don’t panic, this is very common and easy to fix.
1. Scan all citations
2. Look to see if they have author names included
3. Look to see if they have article or book titles included
4. Make a comment for yourself on your document on any that
don’t fit these two situations indicating that you will need
to fix them up
13. In a citation generator like NoodleTools, you
can edit the mistake if you’ve accidentally
placed something in the author cell that isn’t
actually an author. For instance:
● a group like History.com staff
● a Website name (such as CNN)
You would just edit the entry and hit save.
Remember to grab the new citation that will
generate and remember that you will need
to print a new Works Cited list to represent
the change.
13
14. For articles with no authors
14
● Check that you have the title of the article within
quotation marks within the parentheses
Example: (“Genocide in Darfur”)
● Is the article title shortened to three or less words?
Example (“The Case”) versus (“The Case for Quality
Homework”)
15. For books with no authors
15
● Check that you have the title of the book italicized. Did you
remember to include the page number?
Example: (Genocide in Darfur 55)
● Is your book title shortened to three or less words?
Example: (Behave: The Biology 27) versus (Behave: The Biology of
Humans at our Best and Worst 27)
● Are your page numbers formatted properly within the citation?
Example: (Genocide in Darfur 55) versus (Genocide in Darfur [Page
Number 55])
16. For in-text citations that do not include an
author’s last name
16
● Did you provide a lead-in to your sentence for a source with no
author?
Example: “According to Healthline, …”
If so, not only is this source not academic enough for an in-text citation,
but you have not included the proper information required for a citation
(website names never qualify as a proper citation element). You will want
to remove this in-text citation and use a parenthetical citation instead and
be sure to only include an author last name or an article title within.
● Did you provide a lead-in to your sentence for a source with no
author but it is a highly qualified and academic source?
If so, that is acceptable, just create a strong lead-in to the document title
that justifies its inclusion as an in-text citation.
17. Speaking of in-text citations
17
Please remember that if you
were required to use page
numbers in your citations and
you chose to use an in-text
citation, the page number(s)
must still be included within the
sentence parenthetically at the
end.
Once an in-text citation
provides the sufficient
information that would
have been included
parenthetically, you no
longer need to include a
parenthetical citation.
In-text citations should
be used minimally. No
more than 20% of all
citations should be in-
text.
18. 18
Now,let’scheckcapitalization!
● did you remember to capitalize your information properly for MLA Style
within all citations? In the case below, not enough words in the title are
capitalized.
Example: (Behave: The Biology 27) versus (Behave: the biology 27)
● Did you accidentally completely use caps in the author name or title?
Example: (ADAMS) versus (Adams)
Note: MLA requires that prepositions and conjunctions within titles are lower case
while the remaining words are capitalized.
This confuses me! Honestly, I need to use the yellow triangle tool in
NoodleTools all the time to help me properly format my capitalization. If
you don’t have NoodleTools, it may help to pull up a website that lists
prepositions and conjunctions. These are sometimes used with the
distinction “major words” and “minor words” - you would capitalize all
‘major words” and make all “minor words lowercase.
19. 19
DUPLICATEAuthororSourceNames
Scan your Works Cited now quickly to ensure that you don’t have two authors with the same last name.
If so, you will need to include the first initial of each of their first names before their last name with a
period after the capitalized initial.
Example: (A. Adams) and (B. Adams)
Look to your Works Cited again quickly and ensure that you don’t have two sources with no author that
have the same exact title. If so, you will need to add to the parenthetical citation to differentiate between
them. The next part of the citation will go in brackets within the citation.
Example: (“Abraham Lincoln” [History]) and (“Abraham Lincoln” [Biography])
20. 20
Haveyouusedinformationfrommultiplesourcesinthesamesentence?
It is ok to have more than one if you have synthesized information
within the same sentence or small group of sentences but if that is
so, you must cite both and separate them with a semicolon.
Example: (“Body Image”; “Perception of Self”).
Also, If you ever have two sources cited within the same
parenthetical citation, look to ensure that they represent two or
more unique thoughts. Otherwise only one source was necessary
to use.
21. 21
At this point, you may want to select all of the text within your
paper and ensure it is Times New Roman 12 point font and black
text.

Congratulations! You are done!
