Term Paper Advice
Prepare a formal 10-13 (min-max) page research report paper on Economics of Transportation [The page count is for the body of the paper and does not include the cover page, abstract page, table of contents page, or reference list pages.]
You will prepare the paper according to the APA style and format using Times New Roman, 12 point font, double spacing, one inch margins on all sides, APA style section headings, a cover page and a separate page listing all reference sources in APA format using double spacing, hanging indent, and following all APA rules for references.
Every reference source listed should be cited within the report using the APA format, and only listed sources should be cited. The APA Publication Manual, 6th ed. contains the ultimate directions. The paper should include at least eight current reference sources from the academic and professional literature. Current means from within the past five years. Do not use material from web sites, Wikipedia, blogs, newspapers, popular magazines, social media, Linkedin, etc., or promotional material from vendors such as white papers, ads, or promotions. Use findings from research journals, informational articles from respected trade publications, and other researched material such as from academic dissertations. Articles from Forbes, Fortune, Business Week, Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Barron’s Report, and transportation trade journals are suitable. Search the ERAU Hunt library to find appropriate sources. You may include as references the articles you selected for review in the Critical Article Review paper you will write.
The final Research Paper will be evaluated according to the grading rubric shown below. Review it carefully and compare your final paper to the rubric to ensure it complies with each element of the assignment.
