American Psychological Association

American Psychological Association (APA), professional organization of psychologists in the United States founded in 1892. It is the largest organization of psychologists in the United States as well as in the world. The association also works to raise awareness of psychology as a science.

APA style is a set of guidelines for writing in psychology and related fields. The primary purpose of APA style is to facilitate scientific communication by promoting clarity of expression and by standardizing the organization and content of research articles and book chapters.

APA style can be seen as having three levels. There is the organization of a research article, the high-level style that includes writing in a formal and straightforward way, and the low-level style that consists of many specific rules of grammar, spelling, formatting of references, and so on.

1 : a heading of a subdivision (as in an outline) 2 : a subordinate caption, title, or headline.

five levels

A subheading is text placed under a headline, often with a smaller font, which expands on what the headline says. A smaller, secondary headline that usually elaborates on the main headline above it.

The definition of a subheading is a title of a subdivision of something written. An example of a subheading is a title over the information provided on a specific detail in an article. noun.

Subheadings are smaller in size than the main headline but larger than the text of your article. They’re meant to stand out. The main purpose of subheadings are: They stand out because of their size and attract attention.

Headings and subheadings organize content to guide readers. A heading or subheading appears at the beginning of a page or section and briefly describes the content that follows. Do not type all uppercase headings such as: “THIS IS A HEADING”.

You must list no more than two subheadings under a heading.

3 Types of Headings

• Question Headings. A question heading, as you might have guessed, is a heading in the interrogative case.
• Statement Headings. Statement headings are those that include a noun and a verb, forming a complete thought.
• Topic Heading.

Usually, the topic heading at the top of your page will be Heading 1. The headings of sections within the document will have Heading 2 styles. Headings within a level 2 section will have Heading 3 styles. Next, give each section of the document a meaningful heading.

titles. Although heading and titles are similar, they are distinct: A title leads the entire document and captures its content in one or two phrases; a heading leads only a chapter or section and captures only the content of that chapter or section.

Justify text

1. In the Paragraph group, click the Dialog Box Launcher. , and select the Alignment drop-down menu to set your justified text.
2. You can also use the keyboard shortcut, Ctrl + J to justify your text.

In some cases the white space can form more of a logical pattern than the content itself. A combination of the first two points make justified text difficult to read by dyslexic users. The uneven white space creates a distraction which can easily make you lose your place.

justified—text is aligned along the left margin, with letter-spacing and word-spacing adjusted so that the text falls flush with both margins, also known as fully justified or full justification; centered—text is aligned to neither the left nor right margin; there is an even gap on each side of each line.

Flush Left and Flush Right On the Same Line

1. Make sure the paragraph is formatted as left-aligned.
2. Choose the Tabs option from the Format menu. Word displays the Tabs dialog box.
3. Insert a right-aligned tab near the right edge of the line.
4. Click on Set.
5. Click on OK.
6. Type your text.

In the header or footer area, select the page number. Use the Tab key to position the page number left, center, or right. If the number is flush left, press Tab once for center, and twice for right.

In English and most European languages where words are read left-to-right, text is usually aligned ‘flush left’, meaning that the text of a paragraph is aligned on the left-hand side while the right-hand side is ragged. This alignment type follows the natural flow of language and the eye’s gaze.

Click to the left of the text you want to right align. For this example, click to the left of “right-aligned,” and press Tab. Figure D shows the results of using the right-aligned tab to push part of the text to the right margin. It doesn’t matter how much text you push to the right, the tab will align it perfectly.

To just center the text inside an element, use text-align: center; This text is centered.

There are four main alignments: left, right, center, and justified.

**The left part** (#nav ul li) which float: left and **the right part** (#nav .search) which float: right **are not in a line**. Solution 2: I use margin-top: -20px to pull the search box up, but I don’t think it is a good practice.

To center an image using text-align: center; you must place the inside of a block-level element such as a div . Since the text-align property only applies to block-level elements, you place text-align: center; on the wrapping block-level element to achieve a horizontally centered .

Use CSS property to set the height and width of div and use display property to place div in side-by-side format.

1. float:left; This property is used for those elements(div) that will float on left side.
2. float:right; This property is used for those elements(div) that will float on right side.
