Q • Part 2 of the Individual Project is the Literature Review of 10 scholarly articles from scholarly, academic peer-reviewed journals that must be a minimum of eight (8) complete pages of typed narrative, using 12 point Times New Roman fonts on all pages (including the title page and references list), one-inch margins on all four sides, and double-spacing. Submitting 7.9 pages of typed narrative or less will result in a substantial grading penalty. The required title page, abstract, and required references page do not count toward the minimum page count. • Structure of the Literature Review o Always begin written assignments with a title page, typed in 12-point Times New Roman fonts. This must include the title of paper, your name, course number, course name, university name, professor’s name, and date submitted. o An abstract is required for the literature review. This must follow the title page and precede the Introduction section. An abstract is a concise summary of the key points of your research. Write the abstract last. o The Introduction, Conclusion and all remaining sections of the Literature Review must be organized under Level 1 headings (centered, boldface, with uppercase and lowercase letters – see pp. 62-63 of the APA manual about Level 1 headings). o Current literature only: In terms of academic scholarship, articles published within the past five years are considered current. For the literature review, you must find peer-reviewed articles dated 2013 though 2018. Much has changed in Human Resources Management theory and practice since the 1970’s, 1980’s, 1990’s, and early 2000’s – therefore, find scholarly articles from journals dated 2013 through 2018. o The References list (beginning on a new, separate page following the narrative) must include at least ten scholarly references (published 2013 through 2018), including the Bible. (Note: According to page 179 of the APA manual, the Bible is considered a Classical Work and, as such, must not be placed in the references list. However, in-text citations for Bible chapters and verses should be provided. This means that you will have at least 10 sources, including the Bible, but only nine will appear on the references list.) o Center the word References at the top of the references list (not Works Cited or Bibliography) in 12 point Times New Roman fonts. Each row of each reference must be double-spaced, and references must be typed with a hanging indent. o Do not include course textbooks as references. o The APA format requires that you insert in-text citations at the correct places in the narrative each and every time someone else influenced your work, and when you use the ideas, statistics, terms or information of others. o Articles must be from academic, peer-reviewed scholarly journals only. No books, textbooks, dot.coms, dot.govs, websites, blogs, conferences proceedings, newspapers, monthly or weekly magazines, etc. In addition, the Bible must be one of the ten sources. • o Reminder: A peer-reviewed scholarly journal is a research-oriented academic, peer-reviewed publication with an editorial board (peers) that screens articles according to the highest academic standards. There are tutorials available about peer-reviewed academic journals on the LU library’s webpage, for example: http://www.liberty.edu/library/defining-databases-and-journals/ Also, see the Professor’s Improvement Suggestions document for additional information, and a list of prohibited sources. o All in-text citations and the References list must be presented accurately and correctly in the APA format. • The Literature Review must not be a string of quotations. Keep quotations to an absolute minimum. Zero quotations preferred. • Each assignment must be typed in 12-point Times New Roman fonts on all pages, including the title page, abstract, and references page. • No excess white space, extra spacing, extra indentions, or wide margins: Excess white space at the top or bottom of pages, extra spacing between paragraphs or sections, extra indentions on either side of the page, or margins greater than one-inch will not count toward the minimum page count, and will result in a substantial grading penalty. Likewise, keep all text together. Do not insert page breaks anywhere in the document. • Graduate-level analysis and discussion requires good narrative prose. As such, please do not submit bulleted or numbered statements in your narrative.
