I bought an APA program online. It was well worth the money. My first paper I typed using my English book, counting spaces, indents, etc.
That was too much. The program I bought is by Reference Point Software. It is excellent. Especially the reference page portion. It has a box that you pick what type of article, the info boxes change reflecting the type of article you pick. It alphabetizes(sp) them also.
I got a 100% on my research paper and Great APA format comments on my paper. I highly recommend this software to everyone who has to write a paper in APA and I think they have one for MLA. It wasnt that much... maybe $30.00. Customer service is great also.

Forget chocolate- skittles.


Thanks for posting this. I'm in a class that isn't considered WI, but it should be. I have my second paper due this weekend. Let me tell you, I stress over these so much. I know proper english and writing is not my strong point. I have not had to write a "real" paper since 2000 when I was taking entry level english in college. I have more to say, but will withhold it.

Would it be plagirism to follow the FORMAT of your abstract?

No, as long as the content of the paper is uniquely yours, this is not plagiarism. This is a good guideline on avoiding plagiarism: http://ori.dhhs.gov/education/Plagiarism_Guidelines.pdf

Google it. That's how I found PERRLA APA template guide online for my papers. I also have an MLA template for other classes. Hope this helps

Hello. I am not in nursing school yet, but I have both BS and MS degrees. One software program that saved my life for papers was ENDnote. I love this software. You can place your papers in APA format easily. Just place the references in the software and it builds all the references for you, including a references section. Try it out! It was a life saver for a capstone paper with 60 resources!
