Assignment, Business

Most research in the social sciences is formatted according to the American Psychological Associations (APA) guidelines. Now in its sixth edition, the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association outlines methods for organizing research papers and manuscripts and provides standards for citing sources. Though we will not compose research papers, we will craft business reports containing data and information taken from databases, journals, newspapers, trade publications, etc. All deliverables should be written in standard business block format (single spaced, left justified, etc.) and use APA format to cite sources, in text and in the reference page.

For this deliverable, demonstrate proficiency in using APA format to cite sources in text and in a reference page. We have provided three articles for this exercise, so you need not conduct further research.

you need watch this before you do

You must cite sources in APA format, but you will not format the entire document in APA (no running heads, etc.). We use standard business block format, but we cite in text and in the reference page using APA.
APA format and you: A winning combination
