References

The gold standard for primary peer reviewed references is: 75% should be within the last 5

years and only 25% of the references should be 6-10 years old.

The only references from websites should be from the CDC, NIH, and WHO. Otherwise

references from websites should not be used.

All references must be in APA format.

Commented [LD18]: you must have this heading

Commented [LD19]: this is critical. Students lose many
points because they do not put their references into APA
format.
