Full Title of Research Paper Student’s Name CRS 101 Professor’s Name September 18, 2012
Full Title of Research Paper Begin the first paragraph of your research paper with a half-inch indent. Avoid the temptation of using the heading “Introduction” at the start of your paper. Your first sentence is what should immediately follow the title. As your paper develops, you will want to incorporate your research. Sometimes you will use direct quotes that “duplicate the original source word for word” (Jones & Brook, 2011, p. 3). Other times, you will put the ideas from your research into your own words, and that paraphrased material must also be cited in-text (Xiang, Cooper, Wilson & Liang, 2012). Even if your information came from a website without an author, you must cite that source (The Corporation, 2012). At the end of your paper, you will list all of your sources in a References list. The References page begins on a new page and must be included in every research paper.
Appendix In APA style, the appendix appears after the References list. If you have more than one appendix you would name the first one Appendix A, the second one Appendix B and so on. The appendices would appear in the order that you mention them in your essay. Each Appendix begins on a new page.
