HOW TO FORMAT AN APA PAPER
Title Page
*The text to the left of the “:” is not required (it is for
descriptive purposes), only the actual information should be on
the Title Page.
*Title of Paper: How to Format an APA Paper According to 6th
Edition Standards
*Student Name: (Use your name)
*University Name: Strayer University
*Course Number and Name: CIS105 Introduction to Information
Systems
*Instructor Name: Professor Graham
*Date of Submission: (Use the current date)
Abstract
Level 1 headers should be centered and boldface.
Do not indent first sentence in the Abstract.
The Abstract is often optional for research papers. Students
enrolled in courses at Strayer University should verify with the
instructor if an Abstract is required for the paper. CIS105 does
not have a major APA paper as an assignment. The Abstract
should be written in block form, which means that the paragraph
should not be indented. The Abstract should contain between

150 and 250 words and should not contain in-text citations or
references. The Abstract provides a brief summary of the paper
and usually contains words such as, “This paper will discuss…”,
or “The purpose of this paper is to…”. The Abstract should not
to be confused with the thesis statement. Write the Abstract in
short and concise sentences that tell the story of the paper. The
Abstract should be written after the entire paper has been
completed. The Abstract should be located after the title page,
but before the introduction of the paper. Do not write the
Abstract in first-person; write the Abstract in third-person.
Introduction and Thesis Statement
The title of the paper is centered but not bolded for this
instance.
Do indent the first sentence in a paragraph.
How to Format an APA Paper According to 6th Edition
Standards. Input and center the above title of the paper at the
top of the page. This title is not bolded but the titles in the rest
of the body will be centered and bolded. An introduction and
thesis statement header is not used and should not be included.
The first sentence of the introduction should grab the attention
of the audience of readers. It should be an original, broad
statement, quote, or paraphrase. Narrow down the broad topic to
a specific argument that is worthy of research and writing.
Research papers should be written in a narrative format. Write
the paper in third-person; refrain from writing papers in first-
and second-person. Provide background, definitions, or other
details about the topic that will help the audience of readers
understand the topic more effectively and writer’s logical flow
of the paper. The introduction paragraph should lead into a
specific or main topic, known as the thesis statement. The thesis
statement should be the last sentence of the introduction
paragraph. The type of thesis statement used in this paper is the
expository thesis statement. In this case, the expository thesis
statement is one comprehensive sentence that displays three
main argumentative points that the writer thinks are critically
important for the readers to know. The writer needs to conduct

research about these specific opinions and support them with
objective and accurate data. Here is an example of an expository
thesis statement: In order to write a great research paper,
writers must understand word processing software, APA 6th
Edition formatting, and how to structure content. Without a
thesis statement, there can be no body of the paper or
conclusion.
Body of the Paper
Note: The body contains three (3) sections with Level 1
Headings: Word Processing Software, APA 6th Edition
Formatting, and Structuring Content. These should be Centered
and Bolded.
Note: A block quote is highlighted in yellow to show you in the
text to the right. Do not include the yellow highlight in your
document. Be sure to format this item according to APA 6th
edition standards.
Remember to indent the first sentence of a paragraph.
Word Processing Software
The body of the paper should outline the three main
argumentative points in the thesis statement. Therefore, if a
Header such as “Word Processing Software” is used, the
paragraph or subsequent paragraphs within the section should
discuss thesis statement argument #1.
Data that presents opposing viewpoints related to different
Word processing software, the types that exist, advantages and
disadvantages, and any other relevant information should be
written within the paragraph or subsequent paragraphs.
Subsequent paragraphs may be necessary. This can be up to the
writer, the instructor, or the constraints of the assignment. For
example, a five-paragraph paper should include:
1. An introduction paragraph, with thesis statement at the end of
the introduction paragraph.
2. A body of the paper that contains three paragraphs related to
the thesis statement.
3. A conclusion paragraph that includes a restatement of the

thesis statement, whether it is confirmed or disconfirmed, a
summary of the findings of each paragraph, and final words
based on the writer’s perspective of the research paper.
However, a research paper that is required to be longer in length
(i.e., 5-6 pages, 8-10 pages) will more than likely require
additional paragraphs and sections. This is when the use of
Headers and sub-Headings may prove useful. The writer will
need to ensure that the logical flow of data naturally transitions
from paragraph to paragraph. Content also needs to be written
objectively, not with bias. Reducing bias in language can be
easier achieved with third-person writing and critical thinking.
Writers should support the argument with credible research
from peer-reviewed resources. Wikipedia, the media, or other
non-peer-reviewed articles may not always be reliable or
acceptable. Validity and accuracy can sway the opinions of
readers if data is derived from reputable sources. Remember,
one major goal of the paper is to convince the audience of the
writer’s opinion makes sense.
Another major goal of the paper is to increase the knowledge of
the writer. If this research is done well, it should add to the
body of knowledge. The last sentence of this paragraph should
transition nicely into thesis statement argument #2.
APA 6th Edition Formatting
This paragraph or series of paragraphs within this section
should present data about argument #2, APA 6th Edition
Formatting. Just as paragraph #1 within the body of the paper,
data that presents opposing viewpoints related to APA 6th
Edition formatting should be researched and written.
Approximately 80-85% of the paper should be written in the
writer’s original words; 15-20% of the paper should be written
with in-text citations. Paraphrasing in-text citations is preferred
compared to quoting author statements. However, if quotations
are used, the writer must write them correctly. For example,
thirty-nine (39) words or less require in-text citations to be
written as follows: “The quoted sentence” (Author Last Name,

Year of Publication, page or paragraph number). Here are a few
examples:
1. “The quoted sentence” (Phillips, 2013, p. 3).
2. Phillips (2013) stated, “The quoted sentence” (para. 7).
The two previous sentences utilized the author of this paper’s
name for illustration purposes only. Quoting forty (40) words or
more requires a different formatting called Blocked Quotes.
This is how they must be written:
A tutorial will show you how to create this within the paper.
Please pay close attention to how it is written. Select the
appropriate words to lead into the hanging indentation or
blocked quote. Please note that the formatting is similar, but the
period should be written immediately after the sentence and not
before the in-text citation. (Author Last Name, 2013, p. 3)
A sentence that naturally transitions into thesis statement #3
should be written here.
Structuring Content
This paragraph should discuss thesis statement argument #3,
which is how to structure content within a research paper. The
same guidelines apply for this topic and paragraph. The writer
should articulate the components necessary to write this entire
paper from beginning to end so that the content will make sense
to anyone, anywhere in the world, who decides to read it.
Writers should not write with colloquialisms or verbiage that
people in different venues, environments, or cultures will not
understand. Writers should also consider writing in past tense as
well. The content in this paragraph or section should transition
nicely to the conclusion section of the paper.
Conclusion
The header should be Centered and Bolded.
The first sentence should re-state the thesis statement in
different or similar words and remember to continue indenting
the first sentence in a paragraph. This sentence will remind the
reader of the overall arguments researched within the paper
based on the writer’s opinions on the topic.

The writer should then summarize the main points of each
paragraph or section. Writers should refrain from inputting
quotes and paraphrases in the conclusion paragraph or
paragraphs. Writers should continue to write in third-person.
The last few sentences are where the writer inputs his/her
objective perspective of the overall research. In other words, the
writer should have learned something from conducting this
research and should state those facts clearly and concisely. The
final product should equate to a great research paper that
contains objectively written content that is well-formatted in
APA 6th Edition by learning how to use the functions within
word processing software.
The reference page should be written on the next page, in
alphabetical order, and according to a specific format.
Instructions for writing Headers are written within Appendix A.
Instructions for writing in-text citations are written within
Appendix B.
References
The header should be Centered and Bolded.
Use a new page for References.
Note: Cite the provided references using the APA 6th edition
standards for formatting a Web page.

RULES

…five simple rules for creating world-changing presentations.
11
TREAT
YOUR
AS
AUDIENCE
KING
The first rule is: Treat your audience as king.
12

Your audience deserves to be treated like royalty. Design a
presentation that meets their needs, not just yours.

Audiences want to know what you can do for them, why they
should adopt your view, and the steps they need to follow to
take action.
14

$
Give them those things in a clear, easily understandable way…
15

…and you will undoubtedly find favor with the king.
16
SPREAD

The second rule is: Spread ideas and move people.

Your audience didn’t show up to read your 60 page on screen

18

They’re there to see you. To be inspired by your message…
19

…and witness the quality of your thought.
20
AN

ME
ET
ING
You are not giving your presentation to have another meeting.
You are there to covey meaning.
21

So, consider including imagery that powerfully illustrates your
point.
22
Sometimes moving images can inspire in a way that static slides
cannot. A slow moving animation creates a sense of nostalgia.
23
WHICH
PRODUCT
HAS
IT
ALL?

A sequential build adds a sense of suspense.
24
And a thought-provoking video moves your audience in a way
that can change not only minds, but hearts.
25
HELP
SEE
WHAT
YOU
SAYING
THEM
ARE
3
The next rule is: Help them see what you are saying.

26
Half of the people in your audience are verbal thinkers and the
other half are visual.
27

Combining minimal text with meaningful visuals means that
you’ll reach everyone.
28

Brainstorm graphics that will effectively communicate your
message…

Then apply a consistent treatment to your graphics to give your
