What youcontribute is summarizing, transitional writing, logical flow of ideas, andcombining the ideas and research of others. Use books as a last resort because your sources need to be current (withinthe last three or four years). This isa general rule of thumb:(1) **approximately3-4 references per page.(2) **approximately1-2 sources per page in total. Thismeans if your paper is five pages, you will have about 6 to 10 different works(use a variety of periodicals, articles, books, interviews, etc.) from whichyou have gathered data.(3) **approximately1 or 2 direct quotations per page. (If longer than four lines, single space andindent both margins.)8) Remember a SUMMARY contains no new information. This is not a CONCLUSION but a summary of the main points of yourpaper.
