Tip from the #APAStyle blog: "It may be helpful to write your paper out of order. Start by writing the 'heart' of your paper first, in which you analyze the literature, and then write the introduction, paper title, and conclusion." See more at apastyle.apa.org/blog/psi-ch… #APA7

In a 7th edition #APAStyle paper, tables and figures may be embedded in the text after they have been mentioned, or each table & figure can be displayed on a separate page at the end. For details, see apastyle.apa.org/style-gramm… (and Sections 2.17 and 7.6 of the Publication Manual).
Order of pages

Order of pages

In general, the order of pages in an APA Style paper is title page, abstract, text, references, footnotes, tables, figures, appendices.

Did you know that compared to our peer public institutions without medical schools, K-State ranks 11th of 41 institutions reporting to AUTM for total invention disclosures in CY22? And 8th of 27 institutions for patents issued per 100 disclosures? #Didyouknow | #KStateIP

From our Anthropomorphism page (apastyle.apa.org/style-gramm…): "If a construction is in widespread use and its meaning is unambiguous, it is usually not anthropomorphic." See also Section 4.11 of the Publication Manual or Section 2.11 of the Concise Guide to #APAStyle
Anthropomorphism occurs when writers attribute human actions to inanimate sources or to nonhuman animals, as demonstrated in the following table. Column 1 heading: Correct usage Column 1 Row 1: Rat pairs lived in the same enclosure. Column 2 heading: Incorrect usage Column 2 Row 1: Rat couples lived in the same enclosure. Column 3 heading: Rationale Column 3 Row 1: “Rat couples” makes a misleading comparison between pairs of rats and human romantic couples. Column 1 heading: Correct usage Column 1 Row 2: The theory addresses Column 2 heading: Incorrect usage Column 2 Row 2: The theory concludes Column 3 heading: Rationale Column 3 Row 2: A theory might address, indicate, or present, but researchers (not theories) conclude.

To write well you first have to write badly. Get something down on paper. The first draft won't be very good but then you can improve it. Stop aiming for a perfect first draft. Give yourself permission to write rubbish. #AcademicChatter #acwri #phDchat #PhDforum #ECRchat

A good thesis is a finished thesis. A great thesis is a published thesis. A perfect thesis is neither. Stop going round in perfectionistic circles and get it done. #PhDchat #ECRchat #postdoc #PhDforum

If you're thinking about the Roman Empire, remember to include periods in era designations (e.g., B.C.E., C.E., B.C., A.D.) when you write about it in an #APAStyle paper.
