APA Style paper, 15 pages (cover paper and references/other necessary documents that go along with an APA paper are included so technically it should be around 13 pages or so of actual writing. The number of references shouldn’t matter I would say 4-5 should be good. There are no special requirements for the references, I just need to stay more on the side of peer-reviewed journal articles and etc. from 2009 and up. I was informed that google scholar is a great place to receive information from. Although for small pieces of supporting evidence they can be from other sources.
I need original content as my university uses a plagiarism software and I need to score a 5% maximum of plagiarized content. The professor informed me that to make this easier it would be best when including supporting evidence to paraphrase it/ paraphrase quotes and etc.
This is a pretty easy essay and there arent that many strict guidelines I need to follow. I am just having a hard time doing it as I am working over 80+ hours a week now while doing a full-time course load, and haven’t had any time this past month to get it started.
The topic that I chose is blockchain technology, I was thinking a good way to go about writing this essay would be to start off writing about what blockchain is the history of the technology, how it works, modern-day uses, and then finish up with the future of blockchain (possible advancements and future uses).
If you want to incorporate any cryptocurrency stuff in there you may but since this is a research paper geared more towards IT/ computer science an in-depth explanation regarding the technology that is the basis for crypto would work better.
Please reach out to me if you need more clarity or have any additional questions.
