I need to do an OUTLINE in APA format. How do I do that?

Answer

APA's 7th Edition Publication Manual does not provide formal guidelines for creating outlines.

When asked to do an outline in APA style, we recommend that you use:

  • One of the six accepted fonts
  • Double spacing
  • 1 inch margins

If you are handing in the outline for a class assignment, a cover or title page would also be included.

We also recommend that you use a standard alpha-numeric outline.
