PSYC 2301 | Professor B. Watkins (Fall 2025)

A Note About APA in Visual Presentations

Writers creating PowerPoint presentations in APA Style should present information clearly and concisely. However, decisions about font size, amount of text on a slide, color scheme, use of animations, and so on are up to writers; these details are not specified as part of APA Style. Focus on giving credit to information used in a slide with an in-slide citation styled after the traditional in-text citation. Create a references list to be placed on the final slide in the presentation.

Example: In-slide APA Citations
