The title page should have the required details such as the title of the page, running header, the writer’s name, the name of the professor, the course name and the date of submission. The title page should also contain a short title, and a number in a right top corner. As for the APA term paper abstract, writing it may come before or after the paper is completed. The abstract is placed on the second page of the paper and contains up to 120 words.

While quoting, include the name of the author, the year of publication and the page number where the quotation was taken. Do not include the page number while referencing the resource of some thought or idea which were paraphrased or summarized. I on your APA term papers cite all the secondary sources in-text and at the end of your paper. The last page of the APA term paper should be where you place the bibliography titled “references”. The items should be arranged in an alphabetical order by the author’s last name while you should use hanging indent for a bibliography entry longer than one line. Abbreviations should be avoided except for long and familiar words. Finally you should avoid offensive language and sensitive labels while writing an APA term paper.
