WRITING QUALITY AND APA FORMAT CHECKLIST

  Some editing is needed throughout
  Sentence structure needs work
  The APA heading style is not correct; check your reference source for the correct format
  More sub-headings are helpful
  More paragraph breaks needed (paragraphs too long)
  Paragraph organization needs improvement with better cohesion within paragraphs
  The flow of content and thinking is hard to follow
The APA citation format:
  Too many quotations are included – paraphrase the content instead

  Citations are missing for content that appears to be summarized from the literature
  Sources cited in the paper are not in the reference list
  Sources on the reference list are not cited in the paper

  Include only the author(s)’s last name and year date in the citation
  Use the “&” symbol between authors’ last names when citing between parentheses
  Use quotation marks and page numbers (or paragraph numbers for sources with no page nos.) for quotations
  Use of “et al.” is not correct
The APA reference format:
Information is missing in the references, such as the journal title, volume, issue or page numbers.
Use the authors’ last names, and initials for first and middle names; use the “&” symbol between the next to last and last authors’ names.
Article and book titles only use capital letters in the first word, the first word after a colon, and in proper

names; Journal titles use capitals in the title

Use only the year of publication in the date, unless is it a weekly or monthly media article
Italicize the journal or book title
Electronic retrieval info not correct; include the “DOI” number when available
