When to use it.

Research Paper is a ten-page student paper set exactly to APA 7: Times New Roman at 12 pt, double-spaced, with one-inch margins, a running head and page numbers. The sample is an undergraduate psychology experiment on whether a nearby phone lowers reading comprehension. It runs from the student title page and the abstract through an introduction ending in three hypotheses, a method with participants, design, measures and procedure, and results in APA statistical style, to a discussion, a reference list with hanging indents and a ruled APA table. Every citation in the text matches an entry in the references.
