For today’s edition of Tutorial Thursday, we’d like to highlight a video on our APA Style CENTRAL® YouTube channel: APA Style CENTRAL: Starting a Paper.

This brief video (3:35 min) demonstrates how to begin writing your paper in APA Style CENTRAL. Highlights include:

• Selecting a writing template;
• The difference between the “Student assignment” and “Professional manuscript” options when beginning your paper;
• Using the Headings tool to quickly format headings in APA Style®;
• Using the linked outline to add a new section to your paper, rearrange sections, and quickly navigate between sections;
• Getting help with APA Style guidelines while writing; and
• Exporting your paper as a Microsoft Word or PDF file.

Please feel free to link to this tutorial in any location where students, faculty, and researchers will find it!
