Standard Format for Academic Papers

I will require you to write all academic papers following the APA (American Psychological Association) style. The following are some of the guidelines you need to follow.

1. Your paper should be typed and double-spaced on standard-sized paper (8.5 X 11 inches).
2. The margins of your paper should be set to 1 inch on all sides.
3. Your paper should include a title page.
4. Use Arial or Times New Roman only for the font type.
5. Font size should be 12.
6. Your paper should include a running manuscript head in the upper right hand corner of each page that offers a short version of the title and a page number. See example below.
