Create an APA-formatted reference list identifying 10 PICO topic-appropriate and scholarly research articles. From the context of evidence-based practice, all of your chosen research articles should be no older than five years and ideally less than three years. In other words, all articles must have been published in the last five years.
Begin your assignment by restating your comprehensive PICO research question, then list your 10 APA-formatted references. Use your APA Manual (beginning on page 316 of the APA Manual) to help you properly format each entry based on the type of source. Please refer to the attached example. Notice all references are in alphabetical order.
**This assignment is an opportunity to practice creating an accurate and complete reference list. EXPECT that you will receive LOTS of feedback as there are many small details that are easy to miss. Please work to integrate the feedback into next week’s assignment, the annotated bibliography.
Attached you will find an example of this week’s assignment. There are more than 10 references. However, this will give you an idea of what is expected for all types of articles and references. The references listed in the example were from a project I completed in graduate school. At the time, all dates were within the five year time limit. Again, please keep in mind that all references must be published within the last five years for your research.
