How do I format a paper in APA style?

Answer

The following is the standard format for an APA style paper:
  • 1 inch margins
  • Easily readable font like Times New Roman, 12 point
  • Double-spacing throughout the paper
  • Running Head at the top left of each page.  The Running Head will be the title of your paper or a shortened version if the title is very long.
  • Page number on the top right corner of every page. 
  • Title page at the beginning of the paper     
  • References page at the end of the paper

Here is an APA sample paper from the Purdue Owl website.
