TABLE OF CONTENTS APA FORMAT 6TH EDITION

 The table of contents (TOC) is an important part of a document in the American Psychological Association (APA) style. It provides the reader with a list of the major headings and subheadings in the document, along with the page numbers where they can be found.

TABLE OF CONTENTS APA FORMAT 6TH EDITION

Here are the general guidelines for creating a TOC in APA 6th edition:

1. Place the TOC on a separate page after the title page and before the main body of the document.

2. Use a clear and concise font, such as Times New Roman, Arial, or Calibri, and set it to a standard size (e.g., 12 point).

3. Use bold and/or italic text to indicate the hierarchy of the headings and subheadings. For example, you might use bold for the main headings and italic for the subheadings.

4. Begin each entry in the TOC with the title of the corresponding heading or subheading.

5. Indent each subheading beneath its corresponding main heading, and use a hanging indent for the page numbers (i.e., the page numbers should be aligned with the first line of the entry, not the left margin).

6. List the page numbers for each heading and subheading in the TOC, and ensure that the page numbers are accurate.
