This question aligns with Chapter 3, "Learning Proper Citation Forms, Finding the Scholarly Debate, and Summarizing and Classifying Arguments: The Annotated Bibliography," of Writing a Research Paper in Political Science.Read this annotated bibliography and then answer the question.Identify the mistakes for the sources for School 3, which are written in APSA style.

What will be an ideal response?


Varies, but students should note the following:
--McFaul and Stiglitz: No mistakes.
--Lynch: There are capitalization problems. APSA uses title case, whereas APA uses a form of sentence case. The citation should be: Lynch, Marc. 2013. The Arab Uprising: The Unfinished Revolutions of the Middle East. New York, NY: Public Affairs.
--Prodi: There are many problems with this citation. (1) Only one piece of information is needed about the actual issue being cited--either the number or the month/season, and whichever one is chosen should be in parentheses; (2) when the source exists in hard copy, APSA prefers the print citation--the database information, website, and date accessed are not needed; (3) the website is erroneous. The citation should be: Prodi, Romano. 2017. "Europe's Uncertain Future." Brown Journal of World Affairs 24(Fall/Winter):279-82.
