APA (American Psychological Association) is the most commonly used style within the behavioral and social sciences.

General Document Guidelines include:

• Margins should be one inch on all sides (top, bottom, left, right)
• Double-space throughout the paper, including the title page, abstract, body of the document, references, appendixes, footnotes, tables, and figure captions.
• Space once after all punctuation,  including at the ends of sentences.
• All text lines should be alligned left (creating an uneven right margin).
• Paragraphs should be indented 5-7 spaces.
• Page numbers appear one inch from the right edge of the paper on the first line of every page (except Figures), beginning with the title page
• The first two or three words of the paper title appear five spaces to the left of the page number on every page (except Figures), beginning with the title page. Manuscript page headers are used to identify manuscript pages during the editorial process. The manuscript page header and page number can be inserted into a header, which then automatically appears on all pages.
• Order of paper elements: Title Page, Abstract, Body, References, Appendixes, Footnotes, Tables, Figure Captions, Figures.
