Make sure paragraphs transition and flow well between each other. Read the paper out loud to yourself before final submission to make sure these transitions are in place.

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 ...

27. Transitions
Every paragraph is like a mini story- you
never begin a story in the middle!
Transition into every paragraph.
– Define and explain the technique
• Example: Symbolism is any person or object
that represents a bigger idea. One example of
symbolism in The Adventures of Huckleberry
Finn is the river.
30. Transitions
Transition out of each paragraph
– Example: The river stands as one of the most prevalent
symbols in this novel.
Remind the reader each time you begin a
new paragraph what you are talking about.
• Example: Not only is the river a great example of
symbolism in Huck Finn, but the shore is another strong
symbol as well.
32. Style
NO FIRST PERSON EVER EVER
EVER!
– I, me, my…
NO second person!
– You, we, our, us people…
33. Style
NO FIRST PERSON EVER EVER
EVER!
– I, me, my…
NO second person!
– You, we, our, us people…
NO CONTRACTIONS!!!!!
– Can’t won’t- just don’t!!!
34. Problems to Fix
Italicize novel titles
Thesis- parallel sentencing (make sure
it is in the same tense)
I fixed mistakes once or twice-you must
fix the rest.
NO ANNOTATIONS on WC
Only cite source you used- hence
“Works Cited”
8
38. Parenthetical Citations
Immediately following a quotation from a
source or a paraphrase of a source's ideas,
you place the author's name followed by a
space and the relevant page number(s).
– Human beings have been described as "symbol-using
animals" (Burke 3).
When a source has no known author, use a
shortened title of the work instead of an
author name.
– (“The River” 22).
40. Parenthetical Citations
To cite multiple sources in the same
parenthetical reference, separate the citations
by a semi-colon:
– ...as has been discussed elsewhere (Burke 3; Dewey 21).
The author's name may appear either in the
sentence itself or in parentheses following the
quotation or paraphrase, but the page
number(s) should always appear in the
parentheses, not in the text of your sentence.
For example:
42. Parenthetical Citations
– Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was
marked by a "spontaneous overflow of powerful
feelings" (263).
– Romantic poetry is characterized by the
"spontaneous overflow of powerful
feelings" (Wordsworth 263).
– Wordsworth extensively explored the role of
emotion in the creative process (263).
45. Quotations
Anything that is taken word-for-word
needs to be surrounded by quotation
marks.
Short Quotes- fewer than 4 typed lines
– Cullen concludes, "Of all the things that happened there/
That's all I remember" (11-12).
– “At this point, every action is all or nothing in Jim’s
mind” (Chadwick-Joshua 44).
53. Works Cited
Begin your Works Cited page on a
separate page at the end of your
research paper. It should have the same
one-inch margins and last name, page
number header as the rest of your paper.
54. Works Cited
Begin your Works Cited page on a
separate page at the end of your
research paper. It should have the same
one-inch margins and last name, page
number header as the rest of your paper.
Label the page Works Cited (do not
underline the words Works Cited or put
them in quotation marks) and center the
words Works Cited at the top of the
page.
57. Works Cited
Double space all citations, but do not
skip spaces between entries.
List page numbers of sources efficiently,
when needed. If you refer to a journal
article that appeared on pages 225
through 250, list the page numbers on
your Works Cited page as 225-50.
60. Works Cited
Alphabetical Order
Works CITED: cited means that you
have cited it in your paper.
– Even if you have read the resource, it does
not count as works cited unless you CITED
it!
– Remember you need 3 critical sources 1
Biographical and 1 primary--> 5 sources!
