I was wondering how we can manually create a APA journal cover page in the apa6 class format. The APA 6 package is great for the whole document, however, runs into difficulties if you want to create this layout within a larger document, for example, with memoir class (PhD thesis). Therefore, I was wondering how one could manually recreate the cover page (linked below) without using \maketitle, \authors, APA6 package, etc. This would only need to include the title, authors, abstract, keywords, and author comment. The main document could continue after this in "book" or "memoir" class.
I have attached here some minimal reproducible code and attached below the output (pages 2 and 3). It would be great if we could get all chapter, title page, and footnote onto a page, and have it index properly with TOC and /href.
Kind Regards and Thankyou in advance,
Conal Monaghan

\APAtitle{The Role of Machiavellian Views and Tactics in Psychopathology}
\APAkeywords{philosophy, unreadable, Continental, gibberish, boring}
\APAabstract{Machiavellianism represents a tendency to manipulate and exploit others in a social world perceived to be hostile. Research has been inconsistent regarding psychopathology associated with this aspect of
personality. This has been partially due to focusing on Machiavellianism as a unidimensional, as opposed to multi- dimensional, construct. Thus, this study aimed to investigate associations between Machiavellianism and psychopathology from a multidimensional perspective. The participants were 1478 US undergraduates aged between 18 and 53 years (M = 19.55, SD = 3.22; 39\% male) and 218 Australian undergraduates aged between 17 and 60 (M = 20.09, SD = 4.56; 33\% male).
To address psychometric issues in the Mach- IV scale, item analysis and confirmatory factor analyses were used to derive its multidimensional structure. Structural equation modelling tested unique associations of Machiavellian views and tactics with six psychopathological constructs: depression, fear, anxiety, impulsivity, externalising psychopathology,
and thought dysfunction. Results from the US and Australian samples suggest that Machiavellianism is best viewed as a two-dimensional construct consisting of views and tactics. Furthermore, the US study showed that Machiavellian views uniquely predicted all areas of psychopathology, whereas tactics predicted only externalising domains.
These findings demonstrate the multidimensional nature of Machiavellianism and highlight its distinctive psychopathological implications.}

I have no idea if this is generally useful to people, but here's a package which uses the
apa6code modified to avoid name clashes. It allows you to create an APA journal style title page. It leaves most of theapa6author and affiliation commands intact, but renames a few. It does nothing with headers and footers, which should be defined in the main document, and does nothing with the\pagestyle.The following commands have been added:
To use it, put
apatitlepage.styin your localtexmffolder, and then use it as in the following sample document:apatitlepage.styCode repository: github.com/amunn/apatitlepage
