I'm writing an essay on APA template using papaja package in Rstudio. When I finished editing the short title and knit it for pdf to have a look. The "Running head" of "Running head: Short Title" still remain in the top like this.

enter image description here

Is the "running head" text a part of the APA template? How could I remove it?

I want to get rid of the "running head" text in the red box. So in the final edition there will be no "running head" text in the "running head" part. There will only be the short title in it.

Look for the file apa6_man.docx in this folder -- \papaja\rmarkdown\templates\apa6\resources

Open it and replace the text "Running head: TITLE" in the header with a space.

  • While this works, it doesn't quite fit the question, because this will remove the header entirely. If you just get rid of `Running head: ` and keep `TITLE` it should work as intended. Also, I wouldn't recommend editing the package resources. Rather you should copy the file to the project directory and specify it as `reference_docx` in the YAML front matter. – crsh Nov 15 '22 at 23:02
