Research paper 740-1000 words. APA style. Double-spaced. No Abstract needed. All data collected must be dated within the last 2 years. Include a works cited page, minimum of 3 authoritative sources. Please no plagiarism. Include: Title Page, Works Cited Page, Page Numbers. If it can be done on Microsoft Word, that’d be great! I attached the Rubric if it can help in any way.
