apa-styletemplates
I've been looking online for several hours and I have not found a template in APA thesis in Latex. I wonder if you have any template you can share me, or any idea of where to look.
Here I have a Template in Microsoft Word that can be used as a guide for comparison.
Thanks in advance.
I have almost abused the IFAC conference template by only invoking the abstract part as the following
\documentclass{ifacconf}
\usepackage{natbib}
\begin{document}
\begin{frontmatter}
\title{Analysis of very important things\thanksref{footnoteinfo}}
\thanks[footnoteinfo]{The author acknowledges the difficulty of publishing results}
\author[First]{Name}
\address[First]{Return to sender (e-mail: {mr.author@tex.com} )}
\begin{abstract}
A result that does not use the ``novel" word in its abstract.
\end{abstract}
\end{frontmatter}
\end{document}
You can download the template from here. Hope that it suits your needs.
This isn't everything you're looking for, but it's a start, and hopefully will give you an idea of how easily document class customization can start out. Mind you, I'm not going to worry much about emulating bad habits from the Word document, but focus on simple semantic content and formatting.
Let's start with some minimal content from your PDF:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\title{Personal Protective Clothing Level}
\date{7/24/08}
\author{Harper}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\section{Procedures}
\subsection{Structure Fires}
\begin{enumerate}
\item All firefighters operating in the ``hot zone'' of a structure fire will be in
full turnouts to include coat, pants, helmet, hood, gloves and boots. When operating
in an IDLH atmosphere an SCBA shall be worn.
\item Engineers when operating close to the incident and exposed to products of
combustion shall also be in full PPE including SCBA. If outside the ``hot zone''
engineers will be allowed to modify their PPE accordingly. If the Engineer is
considered to be a part of the RIT team, then full PPE including an SCBA shall be
worn.
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
Using the standard article class as given, you get page content that looks like
After writing a (relatively) simple document class based off article, the same content (with \documentclass[12pt]{sop} and \approved{Chief Harper} instead of \documentclass[12pt]{article}, you get page content that looks like
