The paper is expected to be authoritative, and based on at least 10 high-quality sources (i.e., no Wikipedia, newspaper, or web page citations allowed). Use the UMUC library to find relevant journal or respected trade publication articles for your report. The majority of reference sources should be from recent publications no older than five years. Follow the APA format (6th ed.) for the paper and for all citations, figures, tables, and the list of references. You may include in your paper any of the articles assigned as readings, as well as any other reference sources encountered during the course. The style and content appropriate for an academic literature review can be seen in most scholarly journals found in peer-reviewed literature. Most articles will contain a section called, Literature Review. Look over a few to get a feel for the general style of writing expected.
Literature Review Individual Paper
Assignment Criteria: Write a review of the literature that describes the findings of other researchers related to a specific topic in the Project Management field.
The objective of the research paper is to enable you to conduct independent academic research in an area directly related to the course subject matter. Your efforts will generate a high-quality written report summarizing the results of your research into the current scholarly and relevant trade literature related to your chosen topic.
Submit the topic proposal with the following contents to the assignment area for review by the instructor.
1. Present a tentative title for your topic.
2. Briefly describe how the topic relates to project management.
3. State a concrete, specific research question to guide your review of the literature. (State the research question in true question format, not as an intention or objective)
4. List at least one suitable reference source in APA format related to your topic.
You might want to scrub the list down by a few items and develop a narrower framework. For example, limitations, concepts, performance are all widely open terms and only you know how far you plan to go into each one.
