The APA manual does not have a section on how to format a PowerPoint presentation, but you can follow APA style guidelines within your PowerPoint. For example:
- Include the same information on your title slide that you would have on a title page.
- Include in-text citations for any quote, paraphrase, image, graph, table, data, audio or video file that you use within your presentation. Please note that photographs are considered figures in APA style.
- The last slide will be your References List.
- “No citation, permission, or copyright attribution is necessary for clip art from programs like Microsoft Word or PowerPoint” (American Psychological Association [APA], 2020, p. 346).
- Do not reproduce images without permission from the creator or owner of the image. See section 12.15 of the APA manual for more information about this.
