Sample thesis with apa format

Include the description “Doctoral dissertation” or “Master’s thesis” followed by a comma and the name of the institution that awarded the degree. Place this information in square brackets after the dissertation or thesis title and any publication number.

All theses with publications must have the following: 1 Title page 2 Abstract 3 Declaration 4 Preface – noting collaborations, and contributions to authorship 5 Acknowledgements 6 Table of contents 7 List of tables, figures & illustrations 8 Main text/chapters 9 Bibliography or list of references 10 Appendices

Any figure in the thesis must be referred to in the text but only by their number never by “figure below” or “figure above”. Any direct quote of 40 words or more must be styled in block format and indented half an inch.

If you are writing or publishing an APA Style paper in another context (e.g., for a dissertation), check with your instructor or publisher for additional formatting guidelines. The following two sample papers were published in annotated format in the Publication Manual and are reproduced here for your ease of reference.
