Title of Paper
One section of your dissertation will be a literature review, which will be the foundation for your research. What is a literature review? A literature review summarizes and synthesizes arguments and ideas of others without adding new contributions. The assignments in this class will provide you the opportunity to learn how to write a literature review as you analyze, evaluate, and synthesize existing literature on leadership constructs.
This example paper/template has sections for each of the assignments in Weeks 1 through 7, and collectively will be the final paper due in Week 8. Each week after you receive instructor feedback you are expected to make all needed revisions in preparation for submitting the final paper in Week 8. The matrices you will be building for Weeks 1 & 3 will be placed as appendices at the end of the paper (please see placeholders at the end of this paper).

DOI Numbers
Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) is a fairly new system and journal articles have been, or are in the process, of being identified with a doi number. As an author, one of your responsibilities is to see if an article has been assigned a doi number, and if not, then you need to provide a direct link to the article, instead of providing a URL to a secured database. APA stated to avoid providing a URL to a secured database, such as ProQuest, EbscoHost, contentproxy.phoenix.edu, etc. If your reader is interested in researching one of your references and doesn't have access to a secured database, then that individual will not be able to 'easily' locate the article.
Sometimes we must hunt a little to find a doi number or a direct link. When you see 'search-proquest' in a link, then you know the link is to a secured database, and a database the 'average' person will not have access too. The APA Manual provides more information on how to locate doi numbers for articles on pages 189-192, but the basics are:
Crossref
Use Crossref Metadata: https://search.crossref.org (you will want to create a bookmark for easy access in the future, as you will be using this frequently)
When you click on the link, you will see a search bar. Copy/paste, or type in, the title of the article and hit 'enter'. If the article you are using has been assigned a doi number, the article will usually be the first one listed in the results. If your article doesn't show up in the search, then
that article has not been assigned a doi number yet.
PDF Copy
If an article hasn't been assigned a doi number, then Google and search the title of the article to see if a PDF copy is available online or if a direct link to the article is available.
Journal Website
If the above two don't produce a doi number or a direct link, APA provided 2 examples in section 7.01, subsection 3: Journal article without DOI (when DOI is not available). Please refer to the examples in the manual on page 199.
More information on the use of doi numbers is in the APA Manual on pages 188-192.
