References�
The references page is the final and separate page with at least 3 cited works (textbook/manual does NOT count towards the 3 required sources) listed (two sources in the Introduction and one source in the Discussion). Use the very specific, detailed, and precise APA citation format expected. In APA style, for example, use the hanging indent and each citation is specific for the type of work it is (text vs. journal, etc.) These sources must be scientific sources that come from peer-reviewed works including academic journals, textbooks, and encyclopedias. Do not use websites for your references.

“A good citation makes it easy for the reader to figure out
the who, when, what, and where of the source.”

“The APA manual recommends the use of the author-date citation structure for in-text citation references. This structure requires that any in-text citation (i.e., within the body of the text) be accompanied by a corresponding reference list entry. In the in-text citation provide the �surname of the author but do not include suffixes such as "Jr.".”

Torche (2014) revisited this issue in a paper titled “Is a College Degree Still the Great Equalizer?” Her analyses improved upon earlier studies in several respects. Where prior research focused on mobility tables that cross-tabulate
A large body of research shows that academic success is strongly associated with family background. In the United States, kindergarteners begin their schooling with substantial socio-economic status (SES)-related differences in vocabulary, numeracy, reading readiness, and general knowledge (Duncan & Magnuson, 2011; Hart & Risley, 1995).
