I-o Phd Chair APA Knowledge Test

APA (American Psychological Association) recommends using Times New Roman 12 as the font for writing. This font is widely accepted and considered to be clear and highly readable. It is a standard choice for academic and professional writing because of its legibility and readability.

Most statistics should be rounded to two decimal places. This is because rounding to two decimal places provides a good balance between maintaining accuracy and presenting the data in a concise and readable format. Rounding to one decimal place may result in losing important information, while rounding to three or four decimal places may lead to unnecessary precision and make the data harder to interpret. Therefore, rounding to two decimal places is generally recommended in statistical analysis.

The false statement about APA style headings is that there are four levels of headings. In APA style, there are actually five levels of headings. The levels are formatted differently and are used to organize and structure the content of the paper. The correct order of headings should always be followed, but the introduction does not have a specific heading. Headings are indicated without numbers or letters, but they are formatted with bold and centered text.

The correct answer is "Please ensure you include the doi number. If no doi number, include the URL of the journal homepage." This is because when citing journal articles retrieved online, it is important to include the doi number if available. If there is no doi number, the URL of the journal homepage should be included instead. Including the URL of the database or the journal ISSN number is not necessary in this case.

The correct format for parenthetically citing two or more works together is to list the authors' last names and the years of publication in parentheses, separated by semicolons. In this case, the correct format is "College students today are more informed (Jones, 2013; Kessler, 2009)."

The most appropriate format for parenthetically citing the article is ("What Every," 2013) because it includes the first few words of the title in quotation marks, followed by the year of publication in parentheses. This format is commonly used when the article does not have an author.

The given answer, "Today, college students are more informed (Miller)," is not an acceptable example for how to cite a source in text when paraphrasing because it does not include any specific information about the study or the year it was conducted. In-text citations should include the author's last name and the year of publication to provide proper credit to the original source.

Students should identify elements in a series within a paragraph by using lowercase letters in parentheses. This format helps to clearly separate and label each element in the series, making it easier for readers to understand and follow.

The student's citation format is correct except for the missing information of the publisher's city and state. To improve their citation, they should include the publisher's location in the book references.

Students must, in most cases, obtain permission to reprint or adapt tables or figures from other sources. This is because tables and figures are considered intellectual property and are protected by copyright laws. Even if students properly cite the source, they still need to obtain permission to use someone else's work. This ensures that the original creator's rights are respected and acknowledged.

The student should include the doi (digital object identifier) or the journal homepage URL if no doi at the end of the reference entry. This is because dois are unique identifiers that provide a persistent link to the article, ensuring that it can be accessed even if the URL changes. If the article does not have a doi, the student should include the journal homepage URL instead.

In APA style papers, it is recommended to include two spaces at the end of a sentence for ease of reading comprehension. This allows for better visual separation between sentences and helps the reader to easily identify the end of each sentence.

The correct answer is "According to Jones et al. (2013), college students..." because it follows the proper format for citing an in-text citation when there are six authors.

According to APA style guidelines, the table text should not be double spaced. It should be single spaced.

The correct answer is "All six of the 12 participants agreed with the statement." This statement is incorrect because it is combining two different numbers in a way that does not make sense. It should either be "All six participants agreed with the statement" or "12 out of the 12 participants agreed with the statement." The combination of "all six" and "12 participants" is contradictory and incorrect.
