    To accomplish this, you will have to use recent research articles (published within the last five years) to illustrate relevant points. You may use any of a number of electronic databases to find research articles that deal with your topic, including the UMGC library and the Internet. You must include at least two peer-reviewed scientific articles as references in your paper. You may wish to consult with the library staff or your faculty member to confirm whether a particular journal is peer-reviewed.
    Newspaper or magazine articles should not be used as your major reference, but are sometimes useful when they lead you to the appropriate research article. You should avoid simply repeating the articles in summary form, but rather use them within the text of your paper to illustrate important points. You are welcome to discuss your choice of topic with your faculty member to make sure you are on the right track.
    Format: Your paper should be:

    6-8 pages or about 1,600 words, in length (use the word count as a guide to length and stay within 200 words of the target to avoid penalties).
    Typed in 12pt font
    Double-spaced with one-inch margins
    Fully formatted and referenced using APA 7 format for student papers.

    A paper in APA format will have these main sections:

    Title page
    Body – with properly formatted citations
    Reference page
