) Write a research paper on your selected microbial disease
Chlamydial pneumonia – caused by Chlamydia trachomatiscaused
a. The paper should be approx. 6 pages, double-spaced, in APA format. This is not particularly long but I want quality. Eliminate ‘fluff’ in your papers. Content is the priority however the given length should serve as a guide for the level of detail I am looking for. Please do not exceed 8 pages; I will stop reading it.
b. Use general guidelines of APA formatting. In particular, pay attention to the following:
i. Times New Roman, 12 pt font, appropriate margins and double spacing, header/footer, and appropriate headings
ii. Include a cover page/title page (not included in page count) in APA formatting (no abstract required)
iii. Create a references page (not included in page count) and include in-text citations. In-text citations are not a substitute to References, nor vice versa; these two go hand-in-hand and both are required. APA formatting must be used for both; I am paying special attention to APA formatting as it relates to references/in-text citations. I recommend viewing the following APA guidelines and search for in-text citations/works cited: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/
c. Use a minimum of 10-15 reliable sources in your paper and they must all be referenced using in-text-citations (throughout your paper) and in the references section of your paper (really, should be more than 10, but this is bare minimum for points/scoring). For the purposes of this project, a reliable source includes any .edu, .gov, or .org webpage. But be careful with “.org” as it is less likely to be reliable and more likely to be written subjectively for a purpose. Scientific magazine articles, journal articles, or textbooks are all excellent and are also considered reliable.
d. Do NOT plagiarize, intentionally or unintentionally. Papers are submitted through SafeAssign in Blackboard, I check for plagiarism, and zeroes will be given for the entire project for plagiarism. Depending on the offense, consequences for plagiarism may be more severe.
e. Write objectively. In part, this may be accomplished by using a ‘passive voice’ and avoiding 1st and 2nd person. Avoid opinions and stick to evidence-based information. Do not write this as a persuasive paper; there is no ‘stance.’
f. ***********DO NOT USE ANY QUOTATIONS IN YOUR PAPER.**************
Instead, paraphrase. This is essential. Use in-text citations when you paraphrase; the use of in-text citations is not limited to quotations and an in-text citation is required every time you use someone else’s ideas/information through paraphrasing.
