All essays must be fully documented according to Modern Language Association (MLA) parenthetical style. A Works Cited list, following MLA style, must also be included. Both paraphrases and direct quotes are to be cited following MLA documentation specifications.
IN ALL ESSAYS, students should briefly integrate a documented reference to at least one relevant, reliable, and retrievable source other than the assigned sources. That source may relate to an historical or current relevant issue. Illustrations of current relevant issues include the following: current medical education and treatment practices, role of money, government, and politics in the delivery of medical services and medical research, current attitudes toward euthanasia, other genocides (following the Nazi genocide), current disability policies, and recent “whistle blowers” on medical/pharmaceutical practices. For the Research Essay, students must briefly integrate at least five related, reliable, and retrievable sources.
Although peer-reviewed sources are preferred, students may include also references to books, periodicals, newspapers, documentary films, videos, websites, as well as other reputable Internet sources that contain the names of the authors. Although it may be used for your own edification, do not use “Wikipedia” as a source. Be especially careful of online sources. Be sure that such sources are reliable and retrievable. Examples of legitimate online sources are Google Scholar, New York Times, and WebMd. Peer-reviewed sources are preferable. A peer-reviewed source has been subject to a “blind” review by other experts in the field to determine if the manuscriipt is worthy of publication. Since the material is anonymously reviewed prior to acceptance for publication, peer-reviewed publications are believed to be the most reliable sources of information. Examples of scholarly, peer-reviewed journals include The New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, The Lancet, Human Communication Research, The Academy of Management Review, and The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. Relevant NJIT Library Data Bases include the following: Academic Search Premier, Business Source Premier, Omnifile, Lexis-Nexis, and Medline. Cite your source(s) in the body of your essay, as well as in your “Works Cited” list.
