APA Headings This resource highlights updates to APA 6th edition that relate to the use of Headings to separate and classify sections of an academic paper. A heading is a short label or phrase that describes what a particular section of a document is about. Essays and short papers that are often read from beginning to end do not usually need Headings . However, for research papers and other lengthy or complex documents such as reports, proposals, or case studies, Headings can help readers quickly and easily locate specific pieces of information in the document. The use of Headings effectively organizes ideas within the essay, and succinct Headings aid the reader in identifying key points within the writing (APA, 2009). Be sure to check your Course Guide carefully to determine if Headings are required for a specific assignment.
