APA Section Headings.
Section headings help readers follow the organization of a discussion, and are an essential aspect of
APA style. To determine the format for the headings in your papers, consult your outline.
- Section Heading Format
For short articles and most student papers, only one or two levels of section
headings are needed:
Heading Level 1
Centered, Bold, Headline Style Capitalization
Heading Level 2
Flush Left, Bold, Headline Style Capitalization
Heading Level 2
Indented, Bold, Sentence Style Capitalization
