Social Media

This is a good section to use references to speak to the validity and choice of your social media choices (i.e., use an academic resource that shares their research on demographics and metrics of the use of Facebook. For example, Facebook has xxx number of followers that are between the age xx and xx with income level of xx –xx, and like to share xxxx — then cite/reference the source).

Sources (note this is centered and not bold and on a separate page)
Use at least three (3) academic, peer-reviewed resources as quantitative marketing research to determine the feasibility of your product / service. Three academic, peer-reviewed references are proficient. In to receive most points as exemplary, submit four or more.
These academic, peer-reviewed resources should be industry specific and relate to your chosen product / service. Quality, academic references are peer-reviewed and found in scholarly journals published in the last 5 years. A good way to incorporate is by using Journal of Marketing, as an example, for your theories and consumer behavior observations.
Newspapers, magazines, and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources and although you should reference if you use, they do not count towards your minimum.
Listing your references without applying them in your text (citations) is not acceptable!!! See proper formatting in SWS hints on page 6 of this document.

Tips and SWS Formatting (delete this from your paper)
Below are tips and notes to guide you writing an SWS paper. Use this information as a reference and ask if you have any questions.
Tips and Notes:
1. NEVER plagiarize: Plagiarism: act of using someone else’s ideas, words, figures, unique approach, or specific reasoning without giving appropriate credit.
2. Always include an introduction for your Heading 1 topic (example: Environmental Analysis) to explain to the readers what they learn in the section you are introducing.
3. Paragraphs should be complete, such as a minimum of three sentences:
a. “Put only one main idea per paragraph.
b. Aim for three to five or more sentences per paragraph.
c. Include on each page about two handwritten or three typed paragraphs.
d. Make your paragraphs proportional to your paper. Since paragraphs do less work in short papers, have short paragraphs for short papers and longer paragraphs for longer papers.
e. If you have a few very short paragraphs, think about whether they are really parts of a larger paragraph—and can be combined—or whether you can add details to support each point and thus make each into a more fully developed paragraph.”
4. Do not use (or minimize):
a. they (minimize, pronouns, use actual names/titles for clarity)
b. these
c. there are
d. thing
e. it
f. this
g. I
h. we
i. you
j. one or ones
k. some
l. a lot
m. a ton
n. really
o. very
5. Use of contractions – spell out
6. Findings: are past tense

SWS Guidelines:

1. In -text citations:

If the in-text citation appears at the end of a sentence containing evidence, the closing punctuation of the sentence must follow the closing parenthesis of the citation.
Use the author’s last name or publishing organization’s name and then a comma. Then add the number indicating the placement of this source in the source list.

This is an example.

Studies have also indicated that the high concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is primarily due to humans’ use of fossil fuels. Atmospheric data shows “that levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are higher than they have been at any time in the past 400,000 years” (National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 4).

2. Sources:

An SWS format Source list citation consists of:
· The author’s name.
· If there are multiple authors, only the first author is used.
· The year of publication of the source.
· The title of the source.
· The page range.
· A way to locate the source (in this case, a permalink from the Strayer Library).

Here is an example of a Source in an SWS format.
