Make a list of your sources for references. This may change as you build the project, however, get started on finding organizations, publications and other sources to support your paper. At least 1 source needs to a source for data and statistics on your topic. Examples include peer reviewed journals, agencies such as CMS or CDC, AHRQ, the Joint Commission, University Studies, Research Presentations, Academic Position Papers. You do not need to provide specific articles at this point – just the sources you plan to research for your project.

SEE REFERENCE PAGE AND SAMPLE NEXT PAGE: Note this is example for you to start thinking about proper citations. In week 2, you will start citing and sharing references.

References Comment by User: Reference page is started on a new page – its bold and centered, references go directly below it.

References need to be in proper APA – simply listing a website in NOT ACCEPTABLE at this level. Make sure you look up APA reference samples. Consult the OWL, APA manual or search the internet for APA 6 reference examples. NEVER JUST LIST THE WEBSITE AS A SOURCE _ AUTHOR, YEAR, TITLE AND ORGANIZATION MUST BE PART OF THE REFERENCE. Avoid sources from blogs, as well as eHow, Wiki, NO ABOUT.com, no How stuff works. AVOID as any free information website e etc. Peer reviewed sources are preferred see writing tips file

References need to follow proper format including hanging indentations.
