Completing a Research Paper

The paper must be eight to ten pages in length (excluding the title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style. You must use at least eight scholarly sources, at least five of which can be found in the Ashford Online Library, and at least one of which is recommended material to support your points (the latter two can overlap). Two articles from the popular press can be used, but the requirement of five scholarly sources remains. Cite your sources within the text of your paper and on the reference page.
