Remember, only capitalize the R in "running." After the colon, use all caps for the condensed version of your title.
- Single space throughout.
- Double space throughout.
- Single space the body. Double space the references.
- Double space the body. Single space the references.
Double space everything, including your references.
- "Introduction"
- "Intro"
- INTRODUCTION
- You do not need to label your introduction.
Instead of labeling your introduction, include the title of your paper.
- ...choices (Skywalker and Solo, 2012).
- ...choices (Skywalker & Solo, 2012).
- ...choices. (Skywalker and Solo, 2012)
- ...choices (Skywalker & Solo 2012).
Remember, use ampersands (&) inside parenthetical references. Parenthetical references go before periods.
- Skywalker, Solo, Organa, Calrissian, Kenobi, and Vader (1983) argued...
- Skywalker et al. (1983) argued...
- Skywalker, Solo, Organa, Calrissian, Kenobi & Vader (1983) argued...
- Skywalker et. al. (1983) argued...
Remember, for six or more authors, you can use "et al." from the very first reference. With three to five authors, give each surname the first time you cite the source.
- ...writing (Kenobi, no date).
- ...writing. (Kenobi, n.d.)
- ...writing (Kenobi, n.d.).
- ...writing. (Kenobi, no date)
Use "n.d." as an abbreviation for "no date." Remember, the parenthetical citation comes before the period.
...text (Skywalker, 1977).
Make sure your parenthetical citation goes before the period.

Make sure you include a period after the author's initials. Also, remember to italicize book titles and to capitalize the first word of the title and subtitle along with any proper nouns.
- Vader, D. (1980). Quality time with your son. Intergalactic Journal of Parenting, 6(3), 11-38.
- Vader, D. (1980). Quality Time with Your Son. Intergalactic Journal of Parenting, 6(3), 11-38.

- Vader, D (1980). Quality time with your son. Intergalactic Journal of Parenting, 6(3), 11-38.
Make sure you include a period after the author's initials. Journal titles should be italicized, but article titles should not. Capitalize all major words in a journal title, but only capitalize the first word of an article's title and subtitle, along with any proper nouns.
