Guide for Authors

Author Guidelines

  • Authors must follow the APA style of formatting text and references.
  • Font: Use Times New Roman. 14 pt for body of the paper and 16 pt for titles.
  • The paper should be typed with 2.5 cm margins on all sides.
  • Line spacing:1.15 cm
  • Type your title in upper and lowercase letters centered in the upper half of the page. 16 pt bold.
  • Beneath the title, type the author's name: first name, middle initial(s), and last name. 14 pt bold.
  • Beneath the author's name, type the institutional affiliation, which should indicate the location where the author(s) conducted the research.
  • The abstract should be a single paragraph, single-spaced. The abstract should be between 200 and 250 words.
  • List keywords from the paper in the abstract. To do this, indent as you would if you were starting a new paragraph, type Keywords:(italicized), and then list the keywords.

When compiling your APA Reference List, you should:

  1. List references on a new page with a centered heading titled: References.
  2. Include all your references, regardless of format, e.g., books, journal articles & online sources
  3. Order entries alphabetically by surname of author(s).
  4. List works with no author under the first significant word of the title.
  5. Indent second and subsequent lines of each entry (5-7 spaces).
  6. Use single spacing.
  7. For multiple articles by the same author, or authors listed in the same order, list the entries in chronological order, from earliest to most recent.
