APA Format Title Page Builder

An APA title page requires the paper title, author name(s), institutional affiliation, and author note. Student papers also need course information, instructor name, and assignment due date. The page number should appear in the top right corner.

Use title case capitalization, center the title in the upper half of the page, and make it bold. Keep titles concise and descriptive, avoiding abbreviations and unnecessary words that don't add meaning to your research topic.

Student papers include course name, instructor, and due date below the institutional affiliation. Professional papers omit course information but include a running head and may have multiple author affiliations with corresponding superscript numbers.

Studies published in Journal of Academic Writing show that running heads are required only for professional papers submitted for publication. Student papers for coursework typically don't need running heads unless specifically requested by the instructor.

Stick with APA-approved fonts (Times New Roman 12 pt, Arial 11 pt, Calibri 11 pt, etc.) and double-space everything with one-inch margins.

List authors in order of contribution, with each name on a separate line. Include institutional affiliations below each author. For different institutions, use superscript numbers to match authors with their respective affiliations.
