Paper For Above instruction
This paper aims to demonstrate an understanding and application of APA 7th edition formatting guidelines for both the title page and the references page. The tasks involve creating a properly formatted APA title page and a references page that accurately cites scholarly sources, following the specifications detailed in the course materials, specifically Foundations pages 31-39.
Title Page
The title page serves as the cover of the academic paper and must adhere precisely to APA 7th edition standards. According to the sample on Foundations page 31, the title page should include the paper's title, the author's name, and institutional affiliation centered on the page. The title "APA-7 Practice with Title and References Pages" should be used exactly as specified, centered, and bolded. Additional elements such as course name, instructor's name, and date are optional unless instructed otherwise. The font should be Times New Roman, 12-point size, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins all around.
References Page
The references page must adhere to APA 7 guidelines, as demonstrated on Foundations page 32. Each reference should begin on a new page, titled "References" centered at the top in bold. References should be alphabetized by authors' last names. Each entry must include the author(s), publication year, title of the work, source, and DOI or URL if applicable. The references should include the specific articles provided in the instruction. The correct APA formula for citing each article, based on the guidance on pages 33-39, must be used consistently for all entries. It is essential to log into "My Monroe" to access the provided article links before citing them accurately.
Application of the APA Formatting Rules
Applying these guidelines involves careful attention to detail:
- Using italics for journal titles and volumes.
- Capitalizing only the first word of the article title and subtitle, as well as proper nouns.
- Ensuring all references have a hanging indent of 0.5 inches.
- Properly formatting digital object identifiers (DOIs) and URLs.
- Double-spacing all lines on the title and reference pages, with no extra spacing between entries.
Conclusion
This exercise reinforces mastery of APA 7 format for academic writing, emphasizing the importance of precision in scholarly presentation. Correctly formatted title and reference pages reflect attention to detail and adherence to academic standards, which are critical skills in research and writing.
