    Thank you for the video. Is it also required to have levels in the discussion section with APA 7th edition? I will use levels in my methods section, as per usual, however, can I simply simply put several intended paragraphs in the discussion section? Also, is there a specific formatting for the right intend for the beginning of a new paragraph ?

    • @APAStylebySam
      @APAStylebySam  4 роки тому +2

      Section headings in the discussion section are not mandatory, unless specified by the journal/organization you're submitting a paper to. They're usually a good idea, but again, not mandatory. If your discussion flows fine without section headings, that's probably okay. For indenting at the start of a new paragraph, I just press the tab key, which moves your text over a half-inch.

  • @bradleycollins2858
    @bradleycollins2858 Рік тому

    There are no subtitles (under the title on the title page) in the APA 7 guide. I don't know where you are getting that but it appears to be wrong. With that said I still appreciate the content and help. Still very useful.

  • @kenabi2804
    @kenabi2804 Рік тому

    This is great! But how do you get it to type from the center? When I put the author's name, I do hit enter twice and it starts on the left side, not the center

    Thank you. Which would be needed for a PhD thesis? Professional or student?

    • @APAStylebySam
      @APAStylebySam  4 роки тому +1

      That will actually depend on your university, so you will want to check with your graduate school/office. There are probably thesis/dissertation submission instructions on their website, which should specify all the required formatting.

    Hi, sir, I wanna know can I use a law case in APA format, then how to do the citation?
    Thank you so much.

    • @APAStylebySam
      @APAStylebySam  4 роки тому +2

      Citing and referencing law cases is actually a little more complex. There's an entire chapter dedicated to it in APA Style Manual, so I'd suggest looking at one of the resources I list in the description (Purdue OWL, APA Style Blog, or the manual itself).

    Which page should the running head begin- after the title page or when the abstract begins? Our paper has multiple pages of acknowledgements and table of contents, etc. so I'm not sure where to put it. thank you!

    • @APAStylebySam
      @APAStylebySam  4 роки тому

      The running head begins on the title page.

    Hello. Do you have to put Author Notes on the cover page, if you don't have any?

    • @APAStylebySam
      @APAStylebySam  3 роки тому

      Any element of the Author Note can be skipped if it's not needed or not applicable. That said, at minimum, you'll usually need a correspondence address, conflict of interest statement, etc.

      Dissertation formats usually vary by institution, but leave citing open to each discipline. So check with your graduate school.

    • @APAStylebySam
      @APAStylebySam  2 роки тому +1

      You only need to use superscripts if your co-author has a different affiliation than you. If the affiliation is the same, you can just list it out on the next line.

    Where in the cover should the year go? Please.

    • @APAStylebySam
      @APAStylebySam  4 роки тому +1

      APA Style does not specify needing to put a year/date on the title page of professional papers. If you need to, I think it'd be fine put the date on its own line below author affiliations.

    How to mentions the authors when both of them are co-first authors

    • @APAStylebySam
      @APAStylebySam  3 роки тому +1

      Well, you have to list one name before the other, so APA Style doesn't really specify IIRC. Flip a coin, go alphabetically, etc. Either way, you could include in your author note that both authors should be considered first authors and that an equivalent amount of work was done by each person.
