The paper must be word processed and double-spaced using a 12 point font [no larger and no smaller] with one inch margins all around.The APA Literature Review Paper can be on any topic in parent-child relations. The instructor will allow students some latitude in choice of a research paper topic. References for the paper cannot be any of our required texts. All references must be: (1) paginated [so that the reader can locate the quote by page number]; (2) scholarly and peer-reviewed which generally means your references will be of three basic types: (a) scholarly, peer-reviewed academic journals; (b) a dissertation or a master’s thesis; or (c) a scientific book written by an academic expert from a Tier 1 or Tier 2 level research university. Any other type of source is not acceptable. Some examples of unacceptable sources are: unreliable or invalid sources such as Wikipedia; publications that are non-academic such as online newspapers, online blogs online magazines, online chat rooms or discussions online, websites or any non-paginated source or reference. Academic citations should make it clear where the reader can locate the quotation or source. In general, there should be at least one literary citation for every page of written content. A superior paper for letter grades in the “A” or “A-“categories below will require three basic elements written in APA Style: [1] a Title Page; [2] a 13 page or more Review of the Literature; and finally [3] a Reference Section that includes a minimum of 10 acceptable sources. Nothing else should be included. The number of written pages in Review of the Literature and the number of scholarly peer-reviewed paginated sources in the references are very important criteria in paper evaluation.
