Review Section 3, "Citations and References" in the course text, Essential Guide to APA Style for Walden Students. This section helps you properly cite your resources as you develop your Literature Review.

Review the example Literature Reviews in your Learning Resources, for guidance on what a quality bibliography looks like.

Review the online articles listed in the Learning Resources, and pay special attention to the articles in the Walden Writing Center for tips and extended explanations on how to organize and conduct a Literature Review.

Investigate literature from a variety of sources, such as the Walden Library, books, professional magazines, and newspapers for insights that describe and support your Capstone Project topic.

To complete this milestone:

Locate and review 8-12 scholarly resources on your chosen topic from the Walden Library databases (CINAHL is a good choice). Remember, these should be timely resources (within the last 5-6 years).

Create a bibliography (in APA format) of the 8-12 resources you have found. To see an example of a bibliography in proper APA format, refer to the last page of the example Literature Review by Holm located in your Week 2 Resources.

At the end of your bibliography, provide a brief summary (4-5 sentences) that justifies the resources you selected, including which databases and search terms you used to locate the resources.
