Your grade will be based upon a short written paper on a current topic of biological interest, with a MINIMUM of FIVE high quality, correctly written citations. You will research this topic using library databases to find and read scholarly journals. Textbooks are available in the stacks as well, but don’t tend to be current, so unless your topic is historical, don’t make them a large part of your research
Check your topic with me before beginning. If you have never written anything remotely like this in school so far, please study the two papers I attached below, then make an appointment to come talk with me. Your papers are due on July 19, sent electronically by midnight. If you are not satisfied with your grade, you will be allowed to write a second paper on a new topic, due on August 2. I will count the better of the two grades. If you do a good job, and your attendance is perfect (no unexcused absences) you do not have to write a second paper. Late papers will be marked down a tick for each day they are late, so if you would have gotten an A, but turned it in two days late, you get a B+.
General comments on “high quality citations”: For this exercise, I expect the bulk of your information to come from current (within 3-5 years) scholarly journals. You must cite them with standard format: Author(s), Title, Journal (or book chapter title), Volume, issue, pages (or book title, publisher, location of publisher. You can see such citations at the end of every scholarly article– use them as your guide. Do NOT give me URLs in your citation! Do NOT use Wikipedia as a citation, nor any general disease website except for WHO or NIH. If you are using the latter, I prefer you actually look up and read their citations– they are usually linked at the bottom. Don’t be lazy! Try not to use obscure journals– like Proceedings of East Podunk’s Medical and Dental Society. Find out what are the most reputable publications in the area you are studying.
E-citations: Linked databases are changing the way we communicate in the scientific world. Here are the most up to date guidelines for how to cite a web resource: http://guides.library.cornell.edu/citation I prefer that most of your citations come from scholarly articles, not textbooks or informational websites, although they are useful for learning about your topic. We will go over this in class. When you are citing an article that is indexed in Pubmed or Biosis ahead of its actual publication, make sure that you cite the authors, title, journal, date of e-pub.
