Keywords in APA Style

Keywords in APA Style

You need to include several keywords in your manuscript, immediately after the abstract of your paper.
Italicize and capitalize the word “Keywords” followed by a colon. Then after a space, start writing your keywords and separate them with commas. For instance:
- Keywords: computer-assisted language learning, interactivity, social presence, peer-assistance
Your keywords might include acronyms if your area of focus is so technical.

Research keywords and WordPress tags

Keywords in a research paper and the tagging system in WordPress posts serve a similar function: they both act as organizational tools to enhance discoverability. In research papers, keywords highlight the main topics and themes, helping readers and researchers quickly identify the paper’s focus and locate it within databases. Similarly, tags in WordPress posts categorize content, making it easier for readers to find related posts and articles and for search engines to index the content effectively. Both systems streamline the process of locating relevant information, thereby improving the user experience and increasing visibility.
