- “External Authoritative Sources” for purposes of this course shall mean: recent articles (within the past 5 years) from peer reviewed journals or published book chapters that are not textbooks. Education and government sites as well as non-partisan national or international organizations (such as WHO, UNICEF, UNAIDS etc.,) may also be used. Provided, however each article selected has the following:
- Authors; and
- In text citations and references to external sources that support statements made therein.
- Under no circumstances are newspapers (e.g., the Wall Street Journal), blogs (regardless of source), editorials, panel discussions, definition of terms, the assigned case study, “dot com” sites, and textbooks from the course or other courses to be used. The foregoing are not considered authoritative external sources for this course but may be used as additional sources. String citations are not allowed.
- It is improper to place a citation in the middle of a sentence. One can lead with the source in the sentence but cannot use a citation within parenthesis except at the end of the sentence.
