Bullet Points

Guidelines

  • List items should be consistent, either all complete sentences or all fragments.
  • Always use punctuation at the end of list items if they are complete sentences.
  • Don't use bullet points for a single sentence or fragment.
  • Don't add extra spacing or indentation between list items unless it is necessary for clarity.

Other recommended, but not required, practices for bullet points can be found in the APA Style Guidelines Blog
