References

Always include references on a separate page. APA is very specific about punctuation and how elements of the reference are presented. Every citation should have a reference and vice versa. Use the APA manual, the Citation Guide or Purdue Owl.com, or http://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/home to verify your format. Below you will find many examples for you to follow. A formal paper for Walden will require you to use all relevant resources provided in the classroom, and also expect one or more scholarly resources from peer reviewed journals from the Walden library.
