clarification on article reviews

1) The example article shows that the word "from" in the fourth heading is not capitalized. Is this a typo? (i.e. should it be capitalized?) Dr. Kim seemed to think "from" was not capitalized in class. Just wanted to get everyone on the same page.

2) Is there supposed to be a period after the DOI number? The examples in the APA book don't seem to have it, but it wasn't explicit so I wanted to make sure.

Thanks!

(1) From SHOULD be capitalized. The APA manual clearly states that all words in a heading 4+ letters should be capitalized. This was a large discussion last year, but it was made very clear. I will clear this up with Dr. Kim.

(2) This was the TAs mistake. I think we assumed there would be a period at the end of the DOI, but apparently there is not. Thanks for pointing this out. The APA does show its examples WITHOUT a period at the end of the DOI, so you also should not put the period.

thanks for the questions and the ability to clarify!
