There should be 2 spaces after periods that end a sentence in the body of the paper.

The number of authors that must be listed on the references page is now 7 and you no longer use et al. on the references page.

The preferred font is Times New Roman 12pt. The paper should be double-spaced. There should be 1-inch margins on all sides of the document. The method and level of headings is simplified in the new edition. Both the page number and running head should be located in the header of the

paper so it appears on each page.
