What You Need to Find

From Professor Roscelli:

I. REFERENCES (APA Format)

· Acceptable sources

· The number: (no fewer than five and no more than seven)

o Note: you may use no more than two of the readings from your class reader as sources)

· Sources types:

· Main resource materials

o Primary source documents e.g., books such as The Wealth of Nations and JSTOR scholarly articles or cited Think Tanks (Cato.org, Brookings Institute)--no fewer than three. See the top 30 economic journals at http://faculty.maxwell.syr.edu/whorrace/journals.htm

· Ancillary resource materials

o Popular writings (e.g., NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Economist, other media)--no more than two.

o wikis and blogs are not acceptable sources—period.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS (APA Format)

· Rather than footnotes or endnotes, APA Format uses in-text citations.

Avoid plagiarizing through the use of in-text citations that identify ideas, information or words from a particular source. APA still requires a bibliography!
