For my papers I do NOT require abstracts or chapters.

I INSIST that you get the following correct:

1)Parenthetical citations (references within the paper)

2) Fonts

3) Spacing

4) Margins

5) Reference

If you cite a resource, it must be listed in your references and if you list a resource on your reference page, it must be cited in the paper.
