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:

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 ...
IMPROVED SUCROSE INVERSIONCreate improvement in the process fo.docxwilcockiris
IMPROVED SUCROSE INVERSION
Create improvement in the process for converting sucrose to glucose and fructose. Sucrose inversion is the process of converting sucrose to a mixture of equimolar amounts of its component monosaccharides, glucose and fructose, via a hydrolysis reaction. The product "invert sugar" is a valuable sweetener with wide applications.
Three primary commercial methods of sucrose inversion are: acid hydrolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis and ion exchange resin system. Each faces its respective challenges. Improvements are desired that allow efficient and cost-effective sucrose inversion for the production of invert sugar of high purit to be used in the food and beverage industry.
Keywords: sucrose, invert sugar, glucose, fructose, hydrolysis, acid, enzyme, invertase, ion exchange.

____________________ University
A SHORT TITLE FOR YOUR PAPER 2
Abstract
Here, with no indentation at all, summarize your study and its results in 100 to 150 words. Focus
less on your intentions or the importance of your topic than the work you did and the results you
found. The truth is that some people never read the full paper; they just read the abstract or
executive summary and use the body of the paper as if it were an extended footnote. So make
sure this abstract tells the whole story. This, like everything else in your paper without
exception, is in 12-point Times Roman font, double-spaced, with one-inch margins in all
directions. Please note that the title “Abstract” (like the title “References” and the title of your
paper) is not bolded. Only headings and sub-headings are bolded.
A SHORT TITLE FOR YOUR PAPER 3
Your Fully Explanatory Title
Your paper begins right away with an introduction, but without the title “Introduction,”
which is never used in APA. New to the 6
th
edition of the Publication Manual, we are putting
two spaces after each sentence. This is natural for many of us and is a welcomed change from
the previous instruction to leave only one space. Every page, including the first page, has a short
title at the left and a simple page number, flush right. On the first page only, that short title is
preceded by “Running head:” All of that is placed within the one-inch margin (i.e., one-half inch
below the top of the paper).
Be sure to use TAB to move to positions such as the right margin, or to make a half-inch
indent. It is not enough to hit Space over and over until you get there. That may look right, but it
is not robust. Any change in the document will disrupt it. The abstract, main body, and reference
sections each begin on a brand new page. This is accomplished in Microsoft Word by using
Control-Enter. It is not enough to keep hitting Enter until the page advances, because any change

Writing Assignment # 2
Due: Friday September 3rd, by 11:59 PM CST
Overview:
This Writing Assignment is broken down into two parts. Writing Assignment #1, which is due Friday August 27th and Writing Assignment #2, which is due Friday, September 3rd by 11:59 PM CST
The assignment now because requires some research into “strong sources.” Those sources that support your response will require footnotes and a bibliography to present you evidence, in CHICAGO MANUAL STYLE
The first part will not require it, but part two should have an attempt at citing your sources using Chicago Manual style. The video “HOW TO: Cite in Chicago Manual Style” will demonstrate is and model the method of citing your references. It would be the first time trying to cite in any style for many of you, so that tutorial will be a good starting point for the beginners and a refresher for others. Also, you may use the web-site Purdue OwlNet
to assist you in figuring out how to cite various sources that I do not cover in the video tutorial.
You may earn full credit for answering the questions and attempting Chicago Manual Style for Writing Assignment #2.
Also, when saving your MS Word document in order to attach and submit the assignment, label/save each document in the following order:
Each response should have a cover page, and the rest be no more than two or perhaps three pages of content. Writing Assignment #2 will require the use of at least three “strong sources.” Include footnotes and a Bibliography as the third and final page.

MLA Review
Please read this week’s Lessons and then read the information below.
What is the purpose of Modern Language Association (MLA)?
According to Hacker, there are three main objectives in MLA: “(1) supporting a
thesis, (2) citing your sources and avoiding plagiarism, and (3) integrating
quotations and other source material” (395).
You have already learned how to write a thesis and how to compose a well-
organized essay. Now it is time to learn how to include research to support your
ideas.
Why do I need to include research in my writing?
Quite simply, we do not know everything. We need to research whatever topic we
are discussing to learn more about it and also to support our claims. Hacker
explains, “expert opinion can give weight to your argument” (398). For example, if
I were writing a paper about Abraham Lincoln, I would already know some things
about him, but not all. If I wanted to emphasize his work towards ending slavery,
for example, it would be great to include scholarly research about this to support
my claims. Through research, I could find specific dates and legislation and other
important work that the president put forth towards this worthy cause.
Hacker writes, “in a research paper, you will draw on the work of other writers, and
you must document their contributions by citing your sources. Sources are cited for
two reasons: 1. to tell readers where your information comes from—so that they
can assess its reliability and, if interested, find and read the original sources. 2. to
give credit to the writers from whom you have borrowed words and ideas” (399).
The only exception is common knowledge. This is information that you already
knew (without looking it up) or is considered to be general knowledge. (Example:
most people know that New York City is referred to as “The Big Apple.” Therefore,
there is no need to cite a source for that.) However, if you are in doubt, it is better
to be safe than sorry; go ahead and cite the source.
What is plagiarism?
Plagiarism is taking material from a source and including it in your paper as if you
wrote it yourself, without giving any credit to the original author. This can be
material from articles, books, the internet, other students’ essays, or a variety of
other materials.
To avoid plagiarism, you may either use direct quotes or paraphrase the
material. A direct quote is material that is copied word for word, EXACTLY as the
author has written it. You must put quotation marks around a direct quote.
When you paraphrase, you put what is written in your own words. (Hint: the best
way to paraphrase is to read the material, completely look away from it, and then
rewrite it in your own words. Looking away from the article will help you resist
including language that is too close to the original text.)

click here to read “A Word about the Thesis” posted in “Handouts and Course Documents.” attach below
When forming the thesis (argument, opinion), recall that a good opinion is always supported by facts.
Write the essay from the first-person point of view of a law enforcement officer, the first-person point of view of a wildlife hunter, the first-person point of view of an anti-gun proponent who despises freedom and the Second Amendment to our beloved Constitution, or the first-person point of view of a convicted felon who possesses several automatic weapons, all of which have been illegally obtained.
Just a reminder for anyone who needs it: When writing from the first-person point of view of a law enforcement officer, the voice in your entire essay must be the voice of a law enforcement officer (or hunter, or anti-gun person, or convicted felon), and the voice must be especially strong in the introductory and concluding paragraphs. Do not write about the voice,
be
the voice. Write from only
one
point of view, not all four.
The language in assignments that require writing from a particular point of view must conform to the “Checklist for Essays and Other Writing Assignments.” For example, a dirty rotten scoundrel would probably use some unsavory language filled with inappropriate expletives, but if an English Composition student were writing from the point of view of a dirty rotten scoundrel, the voice must be that of a dirty rotten scoundrel, but the writing (usage, grammar, language mechanics) must be suitable for English Composition classroom expectations.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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

2. Step One
2
First, check your rough draft. Do you have
a Works Cited page?
If not, you want to be sure to add one and
then run through the following slides.
If you use NoodleTools, log in and go to your Sources page, go to the top to
Print/Export and export it to Google Docs to generate a Works Cited list.
While this automatically handles some of the formatting for you, it does not
eliminate any human error that may have occurred within the cell entries.
3. Overall Formatting
⊷ Is your Works Cited on its very own
page and not sharing the same page as
your conclusion? If so, good job!
⊷ Is it labeled Works Cited at the top
center?
⊷ Does the page have 1 inch margins?
⊷ Is it all in Times New Roman 12 point
font with black text (not grey)? You
might want to select all text and ensure
that it is!
3
4. ⊷ Is the list properly alphabetized?
⊷ Is the list double spaced?
⊷ Do all entries continue the
double-spacing with no extra
spaces in between entries?
⊷ Does each entry utilize a
hanging indent with the top line
aligned to the far left and the
following lines tabbed in ½ inch?
Overall Formatting
5. Let’s start
simple!
We are now going to look at individual entries.
Do all of your entries end in a period?
If not, add a period to the end of each now.
5
6. Authors
6
The author portion of the entry should appear at the
very far left and be the first element that you see in
each citation entry.
Look through your list and ensure that most of your
websites have authors. Your teacher is likely to notice
and become alarmed if few of your sources have authors.
Sources that identify authors tend to be of higher quality.
A lack of authors will set off a “source quality alarm” and
may result in a loss of points.
You may need to add more qualified sources to your
research paper. If you need help, seek assistance from
your librarian.
7. Authors
7
The author entry should be formatted as follows:
One author:
Gellar, Lindsay.
Two authors:
Geller, Lindsay, and Carly Theder.
Three of more authors:
Geller, et al.
8. Author Problems
8
Website Name as author
Do you see something like CNN or LiveScience in your entry in
the author location (first item on the left in the entry)? If so, you
have placed the information that belongs in the Name of
Container portion in the Author portion of the citation, instead. If
there is no specific author or formal author group, please remove
this and begin the entry with the Title of the Work.
Listing staff as author
Do you see something like History.com Staff in the author
location (first item on the left in the entry)? If so, please remove
this element and begin with the Title of the Work.
9. NoodleTools Users
In a program like NoodleTools, you can delete the
mistake if you’ve accidentally placed something in
the author cell that isn’t actually an author such as a
group like History.com staff or something like CNN.
You would just edit the entry and hit save.
Remember to grab the new parenthetical citation that
will generate and print a new Works Cited list to
represent the change, as well.
9
10. Sources without
authors
If your source has no
author, then the first
citation element on the
far left that you will see is
a title of the work.
10
11. “
Title of Work
11
Now, let’s look at all article or book titles, within the entries.
The title of the work appears right after the author and is
typically the second portion of an entry (unless there is no
author, then it would be the first portion).
Do any of your sources have article or book titles that
are completely capitalized throughout?
If so, please fix it up to only capitalize the first letter of major
words (prepositions and conjunctions are to be lowercase)
Example (correct):
"A History of the Food Truck."
versus (incorrect):
“A HISTORY OF THE FOOD TRUCK.”
12. “
Title of Work
12
Do any of your sources have article or book
titles that have the first letter of major words
in lower case text?
If so, please fix it up to capitalize the first letter of
major words (all that are not prepositions and
conjunctions).
Example (correct):
"A History of the Food Truck."
versus (incorrect):
“A history of the food truck.”
13. NoodleTools Users
If you are a NoodleTools user, when
you are editing the cells please make
sure that there is no yellow triangle.
If there is one, it is alerting you that
you have a current formatting issue
with capitalization and it will guide
you through how to resolve it.
13
14. Name of Container (name of website/name of journal/title of magazine, etc.)
Within the citation, the name of container portion appears after the Title of the Work
portion. It is typically the name of a website or title of a journal. The name of the website
is what is listed at the top of the web page (typically in the upper left corner).
History, which used to call itself History.com now just calls itself History (so that is what
you put in the citation in the name of the website portion). Alzheimers.net calls itself
Alzheimers.net so Alzheimers.net is how you word this element.
The name of container is always italicized within the entry. Please fix up any mistakes
you may have made.
14
Example (New York Times is located in the name of the website portion in the example
below):
Dynarski, Susan. "A Conveyor Belt of Dropouts and Debt at For-Profit Colleges."
New York Times, 28 Oct. 2016. SIRS Researcher, explore.proquest.com/
sirsissuesresearcher/document/2264152397?accountid=71116#undefined.
15. Name of Container
The publisher portion of the citation directly follows the name of container portion. On websites, the publisher is
listed at the bottom next to the copyright date. For books, you not only need to list the publisher, but you also
have to list the location of publication. For journals, magazines, and newspapers (periodicals), you don’t need to
list the publisher.
You also do not list the publisher if it is the same exact name as the container name.
Please fix up any mistakes that you may have made.
15
Example (correct):
Howell, Elizabeth. "Parallel Universes: Theories & Evidence." Space.com, Future US, 10 May 2018,
www.space.com/32728-parallel-universes.html. Accessed 13 Apr. 2020
Example (incorrect since it is the same exact name as the name of container - in this case you should remove it from the
publisher portion of the citation going right from name of container to date of publication):
Funk, Cary, and Meg Hefferon. "U.S. Public Views on Climate and Energy." Pew Research Center, Pew Research
Center, 25 Nov. 2019, www.pewresearch.org/science/2019/11/25/u-s-public-views-on-
climate-and-energy/.
Publisher
16. Volume and Issue Number
In periodicals, while you do not list a publisher to follow the name of container, you actually
list a volume and issue number, instead. This immediately follows the name of container
and precedes the date of publication.
If you have cited a periodical, check that you have included each and that they are
formatted properly.
16
Example (correct):
Krishnan, Karthik, and Pinshuo Wang. "The Cost of Financing Education: Can Student Debt Hinder
Entrepreneurship?" Management Science, vol. 65, no. 10, Oct. 2019, pp. 4522-54. Advanced
Placement Source, doi:10.1287/mnsc.2017.2995. Accessed 13 Apr. 2020.
17. Look through your list and ensure that at least some of your
websites have publication dates. Your teacher is likely to
notice and become alarmed if none of your websites have any
publication dates. Sources that include publication dates tend
to be of higher quality. A lack of dates will set off a “source
quality alarm” and may result in a loss of points.
You may need to add more qualified sources to your research
paper. If you need help, seek assistance from your librarian.
Are your publication dates list date, month, year
order? If not, fix them up
Example: 24 June 2019
Date of Publication
17
18. Page Numbers and
Database Name
In periodicals, you also list page numbers and the database name after you list
the publication date.
If you have cited a periodical, check that you have included each and that they are
formatted properly.
18
Example (correct):
Krishnan, Karthik, and Pinshuo Wang. "The Cost of Financing Education: Can Student Debt Hinder
Entrepreneurship?" Management Science, vol. 65, no. 10, Oct. 2019, pp. 4522-54. Advanced
Placement Source, doi:10.1287/mnsc.2017.2995. Accessed 13 Apr. 2020.
19. URL
The URL or Doi is the next portion of the
citation. If your source offers a permalink,
use that over a URL. The URL portion of the
citation should eliminate the https://
You can truncate or line break your URLs as
needed and line breaking may really clean up
your works cited list nicely.
19
Example (without line break):
Hill, Kashmir. "The Secretive Company That Might End Privacy as We Know It." The New
York Times, 10 Feb. 2020, www.nytimes.com/2020/01/18/technology/clearview-
privacy-facial-recognition.html.
Example (with line break):
Hill, Kashmir. "The Secretive Company That Might End Privacy as We Know It." The New
York Times, 10 Feb. 2020, www.nytimes.com/2020/01/18/technology/clearview-
privacy-facial-recognition.html.
20. 20
DOI
Instead of a URL, you might have a doi number.
Scholarly journals use DOIs. If your source has one, be sure that
you have included it within the citation.
Example (doi):
Krishnan, Karthik, and Pinshuo Wang. "The Cost of Financing Education: Can
Student Debt Hinder Entrepreneurship?" Management Science, vol. 65, no. 10,
Oct. 2019, pp. 4522-54. Advanced Placement Source,
doi:10.1287/mnsc.2017.2995. Accessed 13 Apr. 2020.
21. Access Dates
Did you know MLA version 8 has stated access dates are
optional?
Some teachers even find the access date distracting since
they make the search for a publication date within the
citation a little less simple.
If you are opting to use an access date, it is placed at the
end of the citation in day, month, year format.
Example: Accessed 31 Jan 2020.
21
22. Final Steps
Finally, we need to look at the body of the
paper and compare it to the Works Cited.
Are all of the sources that were cited in
the paper listed on the Works Cited
page?
If not, please add them
Are there some sources here on the
Works Cited page that were not cited
within the paper?
If so, remove them from the list.
23. Absolute Final
Step
This one is VERY important.
As you have modified your Works Cited list, you will need to
ensure that you also now use the proper parenthetical citation for
each corresponding source.
If you have changed the author element or the title of work
element, you likely also need to change your parenthetical citation
so that it is formatted properly.
If you have used NoodleTools editing features, just generate a
new Works Cited list and check each source for the proper in-text
reference.

24. “
Thank you for taking the time to go
through this exercise. You have
probably cleaned up a lot of your
paper.
Even if it is just a little that you
needed to clean up, you have
improved your rough draft!!!
Good job!!
