A scholarly research paper

A scholarly research paper upon a topic of your choosing within the time period (1865-2016) in this course. This paper will consist of between 5 to 7 pages of text, plus a title page, textual documentation and a bibliography, in an approved format. When it comes to format,all papers to reflect the specific requirements listed below. However, when it comes to the method of documentation: stick to the format you have selected [APA, MLA, CMS, Turabian, etc.]. The B.C. Library has a lot of information to help with documentation and searching. Check out its website and/or go there in person: http://www.bakersfieldcollege.edu/library/ (Links to an external site.) A second source of even more information is the Purdue Online Writing Lab, found at: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/ (Links to an external site.) Pay especial attention to the General Writing links and the Research and Citation links. PLEASE GO THERE- a LOT can be learned from it. Specific requirements for this paper are: 5 to 7 pages of your own textual writing, double-spaced, single-sided, and typed with 1” margins and font size of 10-12 pts only—5 pages means written from top to bottom of ALL 5 pages, not 4 and 1/8th pages of writing. If you define your topic and examine an issue that interests you, you’ll find you write more. A title page, documentation [endnote, footnote, parenthetic citation or in-source citation] and a bibliography [which do NOT count toward the minimum # of pages]. A title should be revelatory of your thesis. Use of 4-6 scholarly sources [only one may be an encyclopedia or a textbook], listed in an approved bibliographical format [APA, MLA, CMS are all acceptable].Only 1/3 of all sources used may come from the Internet. Online digital libraries, like JSTOR, Lexus/Nexus, Ebsco-Host and the Gale Network do not count toward this total, as these libraries are most likely to have quality, scholarly sources.
