1. APA Reference Formatting of Source Article sections:
Written in APA reference list format (6th or 7th edition). For more help with
formatting, see the APA handout.
2. Summary sections:
What is the purpose of the source article, and how is it relevant to your
Course Project’s required topics and subtopics (see Outline assignment
instructions)? Briefly address the following points in 4-6 sentences:
• Begin with a “topic sentence” that states the source’s main point.
(e.g., This article discusses the ecology of the white-tailed deer in
Delaware.).
• Summarize the main findings and conclusions of the peer-reviewed
journal paper, book, website article, etc.
• State how the information is relevant to your project’s assigned topics
and subtopics and be specific.
3. Evaluation sections:
After summarizing the source article, it is necessary to evaluate it and state
where you found it (journal, website, book, etc.). Briefly answer the
following questions in 4-6 sentences:
• What is the format/type of source article (e.g., peer-reviewed journal
paper, book, website article)?
• Is the author an authority/expert on the topic? Explain how the author
is qualified (see below).
• For subject-matter experts, provide their credentials (e.g. degrees
earned, professional or academic affiliations, published works)
• For freelance/professional writers (non-experts), state if all reference
sources are academically and scientifically credible and provide an
example.
• For undergraduate-student writers (non-experts), include the subjectmatter expert that may have edited or reviewed their work.
• If no author is listed, move on to discuss the publishing source.
• How is the publishing source (e.g., the website’s sponsoring
organization, journal, book publisher) credible? (e.g., The Journal of
Mammalian Research is the peer-reviewed journal of the Society of
Mammalian Researchers which is comprised of subject-matter expert
members and published quarterly by the University of Linux.)
