Bibliography
Submit your bibliography for your Portfolio Project.
- Re-state your paper topic.
- The bibliography should contain at least five credible sources, including one peer-reviewed journal article and two primary sources. These sources cannot include the textbook.
- Include a paragraph on how you found these sources and any potential problems or areas left to research and include this in your bibliography.
- Note: A peer-reviewed journal article is an article that appears in a well- recognized journal that evaluates the articles prior to approving publication, and that appears usually in print and digital form. Just because it is listed as a journal in the database, does not imply it is a credible source. For example, Cobblestone is not a credible source (it is a magazine directed at high-school students) even though a student will find it in the journal database.
- Note: A primary source is a source created at the time of the event that serves as a description or account of the event, is part of a policy, reaction to, that event, etc.
- Note: A website should be credible source and include reputable work, signed by the author or written by major entities such as editors at presidential libraries. credible sources do NOT include encyclopedia-type sources with basic or introductory information.
- Format your bibliography according to the APA guidelines in the CSU Global Writing Center (available in the left-hand navigation panel).
