Note
that references used for your research need to be
peer-reviewed/scholarly journals and must have been published within the
past 5-10 years of the present date. Peer-reviewed journal articles
typically include the following:
1. Articles are reviewed by a panel of experts before they are accepted for publication
2. Articles are written by a scholar or specialist in the field
3. Articles report on original research or experimentation
4. Are often published by professional associations
5. Utilize terminology associated with the discipline
Research Paper Assignment: You must submit an 8-10 page research paper (excluding the
title page, reference page(s), abstract). Your paper MUST be in APA
Format (7th Edition). See attached Sample APA 7th Edition paper.
Choose a
topic of interest to you that relates specifically to this course. I
recommend selecting a topic that you have limited knowledge about, but
you are nonetheless interested in learning more about that topic. Your
topic must be approved in advance with a brief explanation as to why you
chose the topic, along with your plan of what you intended to learn
from your research, by the end of week 2. Submission of a paper on a
topic that was not approved in advance by your instructor may result in a
failing grade.
You are to use the APUS library’s database to find at least five, peer-reviewed articles
published within the past 5-10 years that addresses your chosen topic.
Again, you are required to use scholarly, peer-reviewed journals,
in-text citations, and provide a reference page for this paper. All
assignments must be in MS Word format, double-spaced, using a Times New
Roman 12-point font, and uploaded to Turnitin, which will assess your
paper for originality. The lower the score, the better. To minimize high
originality scores, you are to paraphrase and cite as opposed to using
direct quotes. If you must quote, do so sparingly, limit the quote to a
few words, and include the page / paragraph number of where the quote
originated. You must submit an original paper. Recycled work from this
class or any other class in whole or in part of any kind is prohibited,
and may be grounds for disciplinary action. If in doubt, contact your
instructor.
Again, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of:
Properly citing and referencing in APA format – 7th Edition.
All research must have been published within the past 5-10 years.
