The American Psychological Association (APA™) has developed rules for formatting a research paper that have been widely accepted worldwide, and are frequently the required format to use when submitting a paper for publication. This workshop series will guide you through the basics of formatting a research paper in “APA style,” following the rules set out in the 6th Edition of the “Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association."
The video tutorials that follow use Microsoft® Word 2010 to demonstrate the concepts outlined in this workshop. To view APA training using Microsoft Word 2013, click here.
