This assignment uses an abridged or shortened, the format of a formal research paper, which is quite different from a journal article critique. One way it is different from a critique is that you do not structure your paper around seven sections like you were required to do in the critiques. However, some of the components (like the question) of these sections are now integrated instead of categorized with headings. One way that it is similar is that you are still required to provide enough information from the four articles to answer the research question and critique as you would for the critiques. You are required to cite four research articles from journal databases in your research paper. For the assignments in this course, all citations should include page numbers or paragraph numbers.NOTE: For your references, you will also need to include the DOI or URL (if a DOI is not available). See the APA tutorial.
