APA format checklist

Work through the page-format checks pasted text cannot verify for you.

How it works

  1. 1

    Choose student or professional paper.

  2. 2

    Check each item in your document editor using links to APA's official guidance.

  3. 3

    Tick off completed checks, then copy or download the remaining items.

Good to know

No file is inspected and no AI is used. This is an APA 7 checklist, not an automatic formatting verdict. Follow assignment or journal instructions when they differ.
