Research Paper: Topic Thesis and References page
(Simple Bibliography)
Overview:
Your paper must involve the study of terrorism or homeland
security, it cannot be a general criminal justice, foreign policy or history
paper. The topic must substantively address an issue related to terrorism so
your sources must focus on and align to that topic. You need to select a topic
in the terrorism and homeland security arena and craft a draft thesis. You need
to identify your 5-7 sources to support this topic and submit as a References
page in APA format. The information given in your References page/Simple Bibliography
must be sufficient to retrieve the source easily. You should follow APA format
and leverage the Liberty APA resources page to guide your citations. Ideally
you should use the Falwell Library and many available databases as your primary
search tool to find relevant scholarly sources for your topic. Carefully
research these sources to ensure they are scholarly. Also, be sure to read the
bibliographic references and use your wisdom. In addition, your sources should
develop along the topic identified for the paper, so they should not be on many
topics but aligned to a core direction for your paper.
