Using the Library Information Resource Network (LIRN), JSTOR, or any other electronic

journal database, research eight (8) peer-reviewed articles that can be used to answer your

upcoming PA 1 assignment. Your discussion should summarize the articles in such a way that

it can justify any arguments you may present in your PA 1 assignment and should be different

from the abstract. In addition to your researched peer-reviewed article, you must include an

example of the article researched as it is applied by industry (company, business entity, and so forth).

Please note: This article summary should not be the only article researched for your PA 1

assignment. You may (and should) have several other articles researched to fully answer your

PA 1 assignment. The concept of this DQ is to allow students to be proactive in the research

necessary to complete this assignment. You may use your article summary, partially or in its

entirety in your PA 1 assignment.

And this one is the research paper just like the ones you did before
