What does it mean for an article to be peer-reviewed?
Peer review is a time-consuming, competitive process that helps provide assurance that published research meets quality standards within a given field.
The Purdue Online Writing Lab aka the Purdue OWL is a terrific source for help with APA format and citations.
NoodleTools is our recommended tool for creating works cited entries, taking notes, organizing information, and generally managing the research process. Make sure to choose APA as your citation format for this assignment.
