Title of Your Paper

The following text contains an example of a few of the most common citations and formatting you may use in your paper. Please become very familiar with your APA manual, you will use it from now on, in your continuing education.

JJ is a 28-year-old male. He is six (6) feet two (2) inches tall. He is the picture of health by visual standards. As was noted in a recent journal article, (Crow & Smith, 2000) a person appearing to be healthy may not actually be in the best of health. Crow & Smith (2000) further assert that it is essential that a thorough health history must be obtained.

Post, Knapp, and Smith (2001) added another dimension to this assessment. They underscored that stress can be revealed in physical symptoms. This additional data adds to the overall picture of this client’s health and wellbeing. They concluded the article by saying, “the client has the best knowledge for how well he is doing. You must always listen between the lines” (Post, Knapp, & Smith, 2001, p. 122).

Another thing to keep in mind, is that for every reference you have on your reference page, you must have an entry in the text. I hope this is helpful. Again, the APA journal will be your best resource.
