Q. How do I write numbers in an APA style paper?

Last Updated: Sep 06, 2022 Views: 256

Usually, write words for zero through nine and use numerals for 10 and above.

For more guidance, the APA style handbook is found in Ryan and Arrigoni libraries at the research and help desks and on the shelves: call number R150.03 A 51-7. Number rules are found in chapter six.

Online guidance for Numbers Expressed as Words and Numbers Expressed as Numerals is available from the APA Style Grammar Guidelines.

The Citing Sources: APA research guide has a link to the APA style handbook.
