1. For all papers, you can only cite/refer to qualified peer-reviewed journal articles. With each paper submit actual proof circling: (1) title of the journal, (2) published within 5 years, (3) have a minimum of 8 pages, and (4) contact information to the author(s). TR’s need at least 1 qualified, peer-reviewed journal & research papers need at least 3 qualified, peer-reviewed journals.
2. The factual value of your paper is based upon qualified, peer-reviewed journals. You earn 0 factual points if you have no qualified, peer-reviewed journals. Factual value of TR’s=80 points. Factual value of research papers=70 points. Research papers with 2 qualified peer-reviewed journals have a max of 2/3×70=46 fact points; with 1 qualified journal the factual value is 1/3×70=23 fact points. If you have NO qualified peer-reviewed journals, you have 0 fact points!!
3. In addition to citing peer-review journals, you may also cite The APA Monitor on Psychology (published within 5 years) available in our library or online. Never use any other sources in any papers!!
