Study Notes
APA 7th Edition Orientation
- This guidebook provides an institutional format for student research papers at NDMU.
- It prefers APA 7th Edition for consistency in in-text citations and referencing.
- The guidebook modifies some parts but maintains the original APA 7th Edition format.
- The Research and Publication Center (RPC) is responsible for this guidebook.
- Students are not required to entirely adopt APA 7th Edition for their research papers.
- The RPC assumes no liability for any differences between the guidebook and APA 7th edition.
- The RPC requests users to report any errors and provide the correct source for corrections.
General Guidelines
- The entire document should be double-spaced on standard-size paper (8.5 x 11 inches).
- No extra space between paragraphs.
- One space after a period at the end of a sentence.
- Use a 1-inch margin on all sides of the page in hardbound copy, and for softcover change the left-hand margin to 1.5 inches.
- Use Times New Roman (12-point) font.
- Page numbers are consecutively placed in the upper right corner, flush right, and are to begin on the title page.
- Each paragraph starts with a 0.5-inch indent.
Major Sections
-

- All illustrations should be on their own pages, if they are too large to fit on one page, they must be continued to the next page.
