You will need to use 5 to 7 peer-reviewed journal articles or other academic publications that are considered to have reliable information. (Popular media sources such as magazines, newspapers, websites, opinion pieces, blogs, Wikipedia, Wikispaces etc. are not considered academic sources.)

-The article’s author, date of publication, title and journal in which it was published in APA format as you would list it in a References list. (Please see document provided under the Resources tab for help with APA guidelines.)-Five to seven sentences summarizing the article’s focus. If the article includes research studies, describe the research that was conducted by the article authors (Ex: An experimental study investigating the interaction of short term memory and attention), and major findings.-A sentence at the end of the summary describing the relevance for using the article in your paper. In other words, how does the article relate to your thesis? How does the article tie-in with the other articles being used?Article summaries must also include citations (also referred to as source credits) in the body.Important note: Do NOT save your work as a pdf or use any type of template when completing your assignment or I will not be able to insert comments/feedback on it.
