Description
Using APA formatting standards, put the 16 resources for your literature and prior art review assignment into alphabetical order and write a short explanation of why each resource is appropriate for their topic. Half of the sources (eight sources) should be directly related to the problem your invention is solving. The other half of the sources should be official patents that are directly related to the characteristics of your original invention. This will look like a reference page when you are finished, except following each source you will write a short paragraph explaining why the source is appropriate.
For additional outside classroom guidance, please refer to:
• The reference pages in the instructor’s thesis (posted to Blackboard) for formatting (page 88-93)
• The Purdue Online Writing Lab: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/
• (Note: Patent in APA Citation example:
Williams, D. (2005). U.S. Patent No. 6,885,550. Washington, D.C.
The librarian will review the sources of your annotated bibliography for reputable sources, APA formatting, and plagiarism.
