Sample Paper: APA style
Writing in the social
sciences is often an original research report or a review of writing
on a particular research topic. Research reports in the social
sciences may include a "review of the literature" section -- placing
the project in the context of previous research -- and/or an
abstract -- a paragraph providing readers with a quick overview of
your essay.
The sample paper in this section is a "review of the literature"
documnented with APA-style citations and references. An abstract is
not included because the instructor did not require one.
