EXAMPLE OF AN APA PAPER 2
Abstract
An abstract is a summary of the paper that should be 250 words or less. It is not the same as the
introduction. This will be the only paragraph in your essay that is NOT indented. It often
contains topic, methods of research, discussion of literature, and conclusions. Please ask your
instructor what he or she wants to see.

Title of the paper again should match the title page
Here is the body of your paper with everything that your instructor is asking for. Again,
your teacher should detail for you which aspects of the research process should be detailed here.
One helpful hint that cannot be stressed enough: develop your References page as you
go. Every time you use someone elses work, first put in an in text citation and then enter it onto
your References page. EVERY TIME. It takes a little bit more time in the short run, but will
save you lots of time in the long run. Work smarter, not harder.
