This assignment should fit on one page. Print a copy and bring to your next class.
1. Choose one of these sample research topics:
2. Find one book (or e-book) and four articles from the databases below. One of your four articles must be a review article (sometimes called a "systematic review" or "literature review" -- do not use a book review.)
3. Write a paragraph in which you refer to each of your sources in the above order, using APA in-text citation format. For example:
In this paragraph I will cite my sources. First I will cite a book available in the Redeemer library (Daniels, 2008). Then I will cite one of the review articles I found in the EBSCOhost SportDiscus database (Gregov, 2014) and also another review article (Dolbow et al., 2011) found in Medline on EBSCOhost. Next I will cite an article from PubMed Central (Birge & Dalsky, 1989) and an article from Google Scholar (Kannus et al., 1995).
4. Create an alphabetically arranged reference list (bibliography) of your sources in APA style. In your own citations, you should begin each citation at the left margin and then indent subsequent lines of that citation, even though this was not possible to do in the examples below (software would not allow me to format it properly).
