So I’m spending yet another summer Saturday indoors editing. Here’s the APA style guide for a much more technical, scientific paper…
- Introduction: The introduction section of a paper does not include a heading labeling it the introduction (3.30).
- One’s vs. an Individual’s: Throughout the paper, the authors use “one’s” and “an individual’s” interchangeably. I standardized this to change “one’s” to “an individual’s.”
- Lists within a paragraph: If you have a list included within the text of a paragraph, they should be labeled (a) …, (b) … and so on. (Note that the letters are lowercase and not italicized.) If the list is separate from the paragraph, the list should be indented and numbered. (See 3.33 for more information.)
