5. Citations
and References
must be included to support the
information within each topic area. Refer to the APA manual, Chapter 7, for
examples of proper reference format. In-text citations are to be noted for all
information contained in your paper that is not your original idea or thought.
Ask yourself, How do I know this? and then cite the source. Scholarly sources
are expected, which means using peer-reviewed journals and credible websites.
6. Tables
and Figures may be added
as appropriate to the project. They should be embedded within the body of the
paper (see your APA manual for how to format and cite). Creating tables and
figures offers visual aids to the reader and enhances understanding of your
literature review and design for change.
