A literature review usually has an organizational pattern and combines both summary and synthesis. A summary is a recap of the important information of the source, but a synthesis is a re-organization, or a reshuffling, of that information. It might give a new interpretation of old material or combine new with old interpretations. Or it might trace the intellectual progression of the field, including major debates. And depending on the situation, the literature review may evaluate the sources and advise the reader on the most pertinent or relevant.” Literature review. The paper is to be written in strict conformance to current APA edition standards and must contain 12 pages of content (excluding the title page, abstract, and references), utilizing at least 15 scholarly sources. Three levels of current APA edition headings must be used throughout the paper, as this is a graduate-level research paper. Some students do not fully understand the difference between plagiarism and paraphrasing. Paraphrasing is when you take a source or someone else’s idea and say it in your own words. When you paraphrase, you must still give the author’s name, date, title of the source, the scholarly journal where it came from, and the exact website address or book. However, when you directly quote a source, it must have quotation marks around the quote, or  it must be set in block quotation format. You must also give detailed information of where you acquired the quote. For the purpose of this academic paper, adhere to the follow rules when quoting or using a source: • Do not directly quote more than  times within the whole document for quoting or paraphrasing. • Quotes must contain the section (if provided) and paragraph or page numbers of the quote, and this information must be placed in the reference. • In all instances, use current APA edition guidelines for citations and references. The paper must not be a series of quotations. Quotes should be used sparingly in doctoral-level writing assignments. It is better to paraphrase and cite than to quote.
