Term Paper Format

Term papers formats are different and include the Modern Language Association format (MLA), the American Psychological Association (APA), the American Medical Association (AMA) format, the Harvard format and the Chicago or Turabian formats. However, there are general guidelines that must be followed when formatting the term paper. The paper used should be of high quality measuring 81/2” x 11”. The writer of the term paper should set the margin at 1 inch all round the paper. The numbering of the pages should be done at the top right corner of each page. Double spacing should be used for the text of the paper unless otherwise specified. The headings and sub-headings of the term paper should be placed at the center of the page. In addition, the in-text citation and references should follow the format specified by the instructor.
