WHY REQUIRE AN OUTLINE & BIBLIOGRAPHY?

• Planning the essay via outline facilitates the following and ultimately leads to higher success rates!
  • Select a “doable” topic
  • Organize thoughts
  • Gather sources
  • Identify holes in research, etc.
• Including in-text citations in the outline helps us:
  • Ensure we have supporting evidence to back up our claims
  • Identify holes in our research
  • Paraphrase source info, which reduces instances of plagiarism
  • Example in-text citation:
    • (Payne, 2017)
• Including the bibliography at the end of the outline:
  • Helps avoid unintentional plagiarism issues
  • Completes this largely “administrative” detail at the forefront of the project
  • Example bibliography entry:
    • Payne, R. J. (2017). Global Issues: Politics, Economics, and Culture(5th ed.). Boston: Pearson
