The student version of the APA title page should include the following information (double spaced and centered):<\/p>\n<ul class=\"kb-checklist\">\n<li>Paper title<\/li>\n<li>Author name<\/li>\n<li>Department and university name<\/li>\n<li>Course number and name<\/li>\n<li>Instructor name<\/li>\n<li>Due date of the assignment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The professional title page also includes an author note (flushed left), but not a course name, instructor name, or due date.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"example\">Title page example (student and professional version)<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"colorbox\" href=index-4941.html><img decoding=\"async\" src=index-4941.html alt=\"APA title page - student version (7th edition)\" width=\"49%\" class=\"mt-3\"\/><\/a><a class=\"colorbox\" href=index-4942.html><img decoding=\"async\" src=index-4942.html alt=\"APA title page - professional version (7th edition)\" width=\"49%\" class=\"alignright mt-3\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"title\">Paper title<\/h2>\n<p>Write an <a href=index-4444.html>informative, striking title<\/a> that summarizes the topic of your paper. Try to keep the title focused and use relevant keywords.<\/p>\n<p>Place the title three or four lines down from the top of the paper. Center align and bold it. Don\u2019t forget to use title case capitalization (capitalize the first letter of each word, except small words such as articles and short prepositions).<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"author\">Author<\/h2>\n<p>Write the author\u2019s name under the paper title (leave a blank line in between). Give their full names (first name, middle initial(s) and last name), but don\u2019t include titles (Dr., Prof.) or degrees (Ph.D., MSc).<\/p>\n<h3>Multiple authors on the title page<\/h3>\n<p>List the authors in order of their contribution. If there are two authors, separate their names with the word \u201cand\u201d, like this:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"kb-textbox border-left blue\">John T. Taylor <span class=\"highlight-blue\">and<\/span> George Kotler<\/figure>\n<p>If there are more than two authors, separate their names with a comma. Only write \u201cand\u201d before the last author, like this:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"kb-textbox border-left blue\">John T. Taylor<span class=\"highlight-blue\">,<\/span> George Kotler<span class=\"highlight-blue\">,<\/span> Dennis G. Parker <span class=\"highlight-blue\">and<\/span> Laura Johnson<\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"affiliation\">Institutional affiliation<\/h2>\n<p>Write the author\u2019s affiliation on the next line under the author names. Students should specify the department and institution where they\u2019re attending school. Professional researchers should specify the department and institution where they conducted their research.<\/p>\n<h3>Multiple authors with different affiliations<\/h3>\n<p>Use superscript numbers on the author line to indicate which institution they\u2019re affiliated with. Don\u2019t use superscript numbers if all authors are affiliated with the same institution (and department).<\/p>\n<figure class=\"kb-textbox border-left blue\" style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 2;\">John T. Taylor<sup class=\"highlight-blue\">1<\/sup>, George Kotler<sup class=\"highlight-blue\">2<\/sup>, Dennis G.

List the following information on separate (double spaced) lines under the author\u2019s affiliation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Course number and name<\/li>\n<li>Instructor(s)<\/li>\n<li>Assignment\u2019s due date<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"author-note\">Author note<\/h2>\n<p>For professional papers, you may include an author note. This note may contain the author\u2019s ORCID iD, affiliation changes, disclosures of conflicts of interest, brief acknowledgments, and contact information (in that specific order). Present this information in separate paragraphs.<\/p>\n<p>Place the author note on the bottom half of the page. Center the label \u201cAuthor note\u201d and apply bold styling. The paragraphs in the author note are left-aligned. The first line of each new paragraph is indented.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about formatting the author note, see section 2.7 of the APA Publication Manual.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"page-header\">Page header<\/h2>\n<p>For a student title page, the page header consists of just a page number in the top-right corner. There is no need for a <a href=index-4643.html>running head<\/a> (as was the case in APA 6th edition).<\/p>\n<p>A professional title page does have a running head. The running head is an abbreviated version of the paper title in all capital letters. The maximum length is 50 characters (counting spaces).<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"image\">Including an image on the title page<\/h2>\n<p>Images are not usually included on an APA title page, and APA does not provide any guidelines for doing so. It&#8217;s usually viewed as unprofessional to include an image, since the title page is there to provide information, not for decoration.<\/p>\n<p>If you do decide to include an image on your title page, make sure to check whether you need permission from the creator of the image. Include a note directly underneath the image acknowledging where it comes from, beginning with the word &#8220;<em>Note<\/em>.&#8221; (italicized and followed by a period):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you found the image online or in another source, include a <a href=index-4876.html>citation<\/a> and <a href=index-4850.html#copyright\">copyright attribution<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>If it&#8217;s an image you created yourself (e.g., a photograph you took, an infographic you designed), explain this (e.g., &#8220;Photograph taken by the author.&#8221;).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Don&#8217;t give the image a label, title, or number. Only images within the text itself are labeled as <a href=index-3486.html>figures<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"colorbox\" href=index-4943.html><img decoding=\"async\" src=index-4943.html alt=\"image on APA title page\" width=\"440px\" class=\"aligncenter mt-4 mb-4\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article reflects the\u00a0APA 7th edition\u00a0guidelines.
