Now it is time to include the main body of your paper here. Remember that when you use someone else's ideas in your paper you will need to include in-text citations and a list of your sources/full citations in a references list at the end of your paper. You must do this even if you paraphrase or summarize and are not using direct quotations. Each instructor will let you know in their rubric what they want included on the title pages for class papers. Remember also that the entire paper needs to be double-spaced, including the references page at the end.
Headings in Your Paper are Centered and Bolded
There are citationbuilders online that can help you create your APA citations. There are also computer generated APA citations in GALILEO that you can use. Be sure they are in APA 7th edition, which is relatively new. You will find that often those computer-generated citations are not 100% correct so do not just copy and paste the GALILEO citations into your paper or you may get points taken off for incorrect citations. You may have to make a few corrections. Check out the list of sources at the end of this tutorial to get more help with formatting APA papers and citations.
Full details on every source cited in a paper or PowerPoint are included at the end on a references list.
