Panic set in. She added a new page? No—the author note goes on the cover page? Wrong again. In APA, the author note is placed at the bottom of the title page, but only for professional papers. Her assignment was a student paper. She re-read the rubric: “Student papers do not require author notes unless specified.” And the professor had specified. So she added it: a paragraph at the bottom of the page, indented, with the label “Author Note” centered and bolded.
So far, so good. But then she remembered: the running head. On the cover page, APA 7th edition requires the running head in all capital letters, flush left, and the page number flush right. No “Running head:” label anymore—that was from the old version.
She opened the APA manual—the physical brick of a book she’d borrowed from the library. Chapter 2: “Title Page.” Her eyes scanned the bullet points.
