Note: Headings for Title, Abstract, and References are not in bold but otherwise follow Level 1 format. Your paragraph text begins a double-spaced line below the heading, with a ½-inch indentation at the start of each paragraph. Indented, bold, lowercase, and ending with a period.

Are headings bolded in APA 7?

Begin your paper with the paper title at the top of the first page of text. The paper title acts as a de facto Level 1 heading: It is centered and in bold title case font. Do not use the heading “Introduction”; text at the beginning of the paper is assumed to be the introduction.

Is the introduction heading bolded in APA?

It is not bold or italicized or in a larger font. APA does not include an “Introduction” heading because it is assumed that papers begin with an introduction. The conclusion, however, should include a heading if headings are used.
