Abstract

An abstract is the summarized version of a paper, thesis, or article, and presents its main findings

(results, methods, etc.). This section may not be required by your professor. This section is

placed on its own page. Abstract should be no more than 250 words. Do not indent this section.

Keywords: This is an indented list of 3-5 words, phrases or acronyms provided by the

author that describe the paper. If there is a second line, it is not indented.

Title of Paper (This is a Level 1 Heading)

Start your first paragraph here. All new paragraphs are indented 0.5 inches (1.27 cm).

Use the tab key or the “first line” indentation option in your word processor. You are responsible

for using in-text citations correctly and writing a complete list of references at the end of this

section.

In APA Style, the first paragraph of the paper (after the title) is assumed to be the

introduction, and an “Introduction” header is not necessary. However, if your instructor requests

you include an “Introduction” section, follow level 1 heading style in place of the “Title of

Paper” included here.

Level 1 Heading

Headings help organize your paper and help indicate the important elements to the

readers. Each type of heading can be repeated multiple times. The most common headings are

level 1 and 2. Level 1 headings are used for top level or main sections. An example of this

section would be “methods,” “results,” or “discussion.”

Level 2 Heading

This is used as a subheading for the above level 1 topic. An example of this heading

would be “sample” or “design.” If you would like to learn more about the levels of headings,

please the see APA Quick Guide on the MyUCW portal under Library, APA and Plagiarism.
