Overview
PERRLA formats your entire APA 7 paper — so you can focus on writing, not formatting rules.

Whether you're writing a research paper, an APA format essay, a discussion post, or an annotated bibliography, PERRLA handles the formatting automatically.

APA 7 Paper Formatting
• Title page (student and professional formats)
• Running head
• All 5 heading levels
• Page numbers, margins, font, and line spacing
• Abstract page

References & Citations
• Look up sources instantly — paste a DOI, ISBN, URL, or PubMed ID and PERRLA fills in the reference for you
• Every APA 7th edition reference type supported — websites, journal articles, books, edited chapters, reports, videos, social media posts, and more
• In-text citations inserted with one click — parenthetical or narrative
• References page formatted and alphabetized automatically

How It Works
Open PERRLA from the Extensions menu. Select your paper type, and PERRLA sets up your document with correct APA formatting. Add references through the sidebar using our lookup feature or manual entry, insert in-text citations where you need them, and your reference list updates automatically.
