Hey all! I’m trying to figure out if there’s an ideal word count per page for research papers. I keep hearing different numbers—some say 250 words, others say 300 or more. Does formatting style really change how many words fit on a page?
Hey all! Great question — the ideal word count per page can vary based on formatting. Typically, a double-spaced page with 12-point Times New Roman font holds around 250–300 words. However, formatting styles like APA, MLA, or Chicago can slightly affect layout with their specific margin, heading, and spacing rules. So yes, the style you’re using can influence how many words fit per page. It’s always a good idea to check your assignment guidelines.
