In this Lesson, you have a two-part assignment. In part 1 you will write a short paper explaining what scholarly writing is and why you would use a reference management system. In part 2 you will create an annotated bibliography with 5 citations that cover an area of interest related to your DBA specialization.
PART 1: In Part 1 of the assignment you will compare and contrast the features of Endnote, Zotero, RefWorks, and Mendeley (this can be completed in a graph or table format). Then provide a brief explanation as to which reference management system you choose and why?
Generate text that will require 5 in-text citations within part 1 of the assignment. These can be on any topic that would necessitate a citation. You will utilize a reference management software package to generate your in-text citations and reference list. You may have the citations anywhere in your document. You may also simply put five randomly cited sentences at the end if you cannot fit them within the context of the document.
PART 2: In Part 2 of the assignment, you will create an annotated bibliography with the 5 in-text references noted in Part 1 of the assignment. Follow the format example provided by the University Academic Success Center. Cite the source in proper APA format, summarize in one paragraph, then assess and reflect in a second paragraph. You should have a citation and at least two paragraphs for each source.
Length: 7-10 pages, not including title and reference page
References: A minimum of 5 peer-reviewed journals/articles.
Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.
