  • Distribution: Citations should be spread across references to the problem, attempts to address it, different analytical methods you're using, and other relevant topics
Example of Excellent Academic Writing
For an example of a well-written peer-reviewed paper with proper APA citations and an excellent literature review, see Burnam et al. (2014): "Do adaptive perfectionism and self-determined motivation reduce academic procrastination?" This paper demonstrates high-quality academic writing, thorough literature review, and proper APA citation style.
