APA stands for American Psychological Association. A title page should have the title of the paper one is writing as well as the author's name and the institution the cite is affiliated with. The title page should also have a header aligned to the left with a page number aligned to the right both at the top of the page. It's used in social sciences because social sciences deal more with research papers and APA better organizaes the information and sources within the paper.

APA is known as “American Psychological Association” and is used to cite sources within the social sciences. It is used for social science disciplines because APA Style makes it uncomplicated for readers to understand the text by using a familiar structure they can follow. Readers won’t have a problem finding what they want to read, and doesn’t throw them off by different formatting. You format a title page by typing your title in upper and lowercase letters centered in the upper half of the page. APA doesn’t want the title to be more than twelve words in length and should ONLY have words that have a purpose. All lines should be double-spaced. Beneath the title, should be the author’s name without any titles. Bellow the author’s name, the institutional affiliation, which is where the author did his research.
ReplyDeleteHere we go.... APA stands for American psychological association. It is used for social science disciplines because it "makes it easier for readers to understand a text by providing a familiar structure they can follow".

Beneath the title type the authors name: first middle anitial and last name. do not use titles either. Under that type the institutional affiliation.

APA stands for the American Psychological Association. APA is a style format for written documents and is used mostly by the social sciences in the fields such as criminology, nursing, and business, to name a few. The format is used to provide a common format for documents written or published in these fields. The format provides cues to help readers better follow ideas and is efficient because the layout is commonly used in the area of social sciences.
ReplyDeleteThe title page in an APA document has a running head at the top of the page that includes the page number on the right. The title is also included in the center of the page, with the author's name and the institutional affiliation.

APA= "American Psychological Association"-- All APA format papers need to have a title page that includes: title, author's name, double spaced, 12pt. font-Times New Roman. It's the Social Science way of producing information and will be used for students all throughout college and graduate school. The paper is quoted in first person citation, which is easy to connect with. I prefer APA to MLA any day of the week!

It stands for American Psychological Association. It's used for social sciences because it's recent news, not news from fifty years ago. Running head goes on upper left hand corner, then title, author's name, and institution should be centered and double spaced.
