Option #2: Finding Appropriate Sources

Although the CSU-Global Library databases are an excellent source of scholarly research, reliable sources can also be found through print or through electronic searches. For this assignment, you will select three scholarly articles from three different reliable sources regarding a topic or industry of your choosing. In a four to five-page paper, discuss the following:

Topic or industry chosen

Databases or websites used (and rationale for why you chose them)

Keywords and parameters used to find the article

Rationale for why this is a scholarly article that can be trusted

A short summary of what each article is about

The citation and permalink for each article.

Then discuss which source you found easier to use and provide the rationale for your choice.

Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:

4 – 5 pages in length

Formatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements

Cite a minimum of three scholarly sources, at least one of which is not provided in, or linked from, the course

Adheres to the standards laid out in the rubric, which can be found in the Module 4 folder

Write clearly and logically, as you will be graded on content, analysis, and your adherence to the tenets of good academic writing, which should be succinct where possible while also exploring the topics appropriately. Remember that you can always improve your work by providing support from outside scholarly sources, which help both to bolster your own assertions and supplement your ideas. The CSU-Global Library is a great place to find scholarly sources. Reach out to your instructor if you have questions about the assignment.
