Research Paper: References Assignment Instructions

Overview

In this assignment, you will restate the topic proposal and provide references for the Research Paper that you are completing over several stages in this course. The references may change as you work through the rest of the Research Paper Assignment, but the references included here should demonstrate that you have sufficient scholarly resources to familiarize yourself with the basics of the topic and to make a good start toward writing the paper. Since this is an economics-based class, it is important that several of the sources be from economics literature.

Instructions

The references assignment should meet the following requirements:

  • No title page is required. Include your name and “Research Paper: References Assignment” at the top of the page.
  • The references listed here should include at least 5 scholarly references.
    • At least 3 of the references must be from economics literature.
    • While you may use older, classic references, at least 2 of your references should be of more recent scholarship (e.g., the last 20 years).
  • Include two or three sentences at the top of the page clearly stating the paper topic.
  • The references should be listed in APA style.
