Students in the College of Business often want to know how to set up their academic papers to make them look professional and to provide ease of reading. This is an electronic sample for academic papers written at WGU that contain references and citations that align with the “Big 4” (Author, date of publication, title of resource, and source or retrieval location). The sample paper also includes an optional cover page and table of contents. The purpose of the sample paper is two-fold: (1) to help students set recommended margins and spacing and (2) to provide examples of reference list entries and corresponding in-text citations for paraphrased, summarized, and directly quoted information from those sources.
For ease of readability and professional appearance, this paragraph provides several recommendations for formatting. The margins of academic papers are generally set at 1 inch, and each new paragraph usually begins with a half-inch indent. The lines are usually double-spaced throughout the paper, even on the reference page. The font size and style choices are also selected based on ease of readability. For instance, the font used in this sample paper is Times New Roman, and the font size is 12. Consistency throughout the paper is important, so make sure to use the same margins, line spacing, and font type and size for the entire paper.
To ensure that source information for all quoted, paraphrased, and summarized content is accurately and completely acknowledged, a variety of examples are given both on the reference page and within the narrative of this sample paper that include the author, date, title, and location of the referenced material. Here is an example of how to cite information from a WGU-required resource. The CliftonStrengths assessment provides a report of individual signature themes or traits. Intellection is one theme identified by the assessment (Gallup, Inc., n.d.). On the reference list for the Gallup source, the words “Student Name” should be replaced by the actual name of the student writer, as that is included in the title of the student’s signature themes report. The student should also provide a direct link (URL) to his or her actual signature themes document following the words “Available from” for the Gallup source. The following sentence provides an example of an in-text citation for information summarized from a general webpage that has no specific date of publication. Salesforce (n.d.) describes how its company helps a business manage its client interactions and relationships. .

Start the first paragraph here. It should introduce your reader to the subject you are writing about, as well as your particular position or claim. To learn more about what an introduction should include and what to include in a conclusion, please see the following resource: Introductions & Conclusions. Please read about thesis statements on our Ashford Writing Center website: Thesis Statements. Other helpful tools on our website are the Thesis Generator and Moving from Prompt to Thesis.
The Writing Process
Spend time planning your paper. Before you can create your first paragraph, consider these “pre-writing” tips. A good practice is to brainstorm ideas and decide how to express the main idea or thesis. Once you have a rough idea of what you want to say or argue, create an outline or list to help you organize the evidence you plan to present. For longer papers, include sub-headings or levels of heading. You can use this template to help you format your paper.
Writing the Body Paragraphs
Each paragraph of your assignment should be clear and easy to follow. We have several good resources to help you write a strong paragraph, such as How to Write a Good Paragraph and the P.I.E. Paragraph Structure.
Using Citations Correctly
In addition to being well-written, each paragraph should include an in-text citation to all ideas, references, or quotations that are from outside sources and research. The Ashford Writing Center provides many resources to help you follow correct citation style (primarily APA) and gives lessons and examples of how to paraphrase and cite sources. The APA Key Elements page is a good place to start.
Using Tables, Graphs, Images, and Appendices
For some papers and reports, you may choose to add a table, graph, or image
within the body of the draft. Or you may choose to include an appendix at the end of your paper. These can help to provide a visual representation of data or other information that you wish to relay to your reader. Follow this guidance to understand when and how to use these features.
References
The following are commonly used references. Please fill in the required information, and if you need more help, see the AWC References page. References are listed in alphabetical order.

Title of Your Essay
Start the first paragraph here. It should introduce your reader to the subject you are writing about, as well as your particular position or claim. To learn more about what an introduction should include and what to include in a conclusion, please see the following resource: Introductions & Conclusions. Please read about thesis statements on our Ashford Writing Center website: Thesis Statements. Other helpful tools on our website are the Thesis Generator and Moving from Prompt to Thesis.
The Writing Process
Spend time planning your paper. Before you can create your first paragraph, consider these “pre-writing” tips. A good practice is to brainstorm ideas and decide how to express the main idea or thesis. Once you have a rough idea of what you want to say or argue, create an outline or list to help you organize the evidence you plan to present. For longer papers, include sub-headings or levels of heading. You can use this template to help you format your paper.
Writing the Body Paragraphs
Each paragraph of your assignment should be clear and easy to follow. We have several good resources to help you write a strong paragraph, such as How to Write a Good Paragraph and the P.I.E. Paragraph Structure.
Using Citations Correctly
In addition to being well-written, each paragraph should include an in-text citation to all ideas, references, or quotations that are from outside sources and research. The Ashford Writing Center provides many resources to help you follow correct citation style (primarily APA) and gives lessons and examples of how to paraphrase and cite sources. The APA Key Elements page is a good place to start.
Using Tables, Graphs, Images, and Appendices
For some papers and reports, you may choose to add a table, graph, or image
within the body of the draft. Or you may choose to include an appendix at the end of your paper. These can help to provide a visual representation of data or other information that you wish to relay to your reader. Follow this guidance to understand when and how to use these features.
References
The following are commonly used references. Please fill in the required information, and if you need more help, see the AWC References page. References are listed in alphabetical order.

2. What is referencing?
• A standardised way of acknowledging sources
of information and ideas that you have used
in your assignment
• Helps avoid plagiarism (stealing of other's
ideas) - Turnitin
• Enables readers to follow-up and read more
fully the cited author’s arguments
• Shows you have done research
4. Basic structure of UCT Author-date reference
includes:
• Author(s) of publication– Surname & initial
• Date of publication– Year of publication
• Title of publication
• Publication details – Place and name of
publisher for books or volume, issue and page
numbers for journals and URL for an Internet
resource
5. Two stages of referencing
• In-text citation
– Put brief details in round brackets () within the
body of an essay to indicate every instance that
you have borrowed words or ideas
• Reference list
– Put the full details of all sources used in your work
at the end of your paper
6. Two ways to cite sources:
• Direct quotation – use someone else’s work
word for word
• Put the words used in “quotation marks”
• Use sparingly
• Paraphrasing – put someone else’s ideas in
your own words
7. In-text citation - Details to include (1)
If author’s name is not included in the sentence put:
(Author’s surname, year of publication:page number)
In an analysis of equity and efficiency in public education, it was found
that South Africa has elements of both a first world country, and a
third world country (Crouch, 1996:134).
The study found that “South African society embodies both First
World and Third World living standards” (Crouch, 1996:134).
NB: List all authors to a maximum of three separated by a comma but the last
separated by an ampersand &. If more than 3 authors, list the first author followed by
“et al.”
8. In-text citation - Details to include (2)
If author’s name is included in the sentence put:
(Year of publication:page number)
In his analysis of equity and efficiency in public education, Crouch
(1996:134) noted that South Africa has elements of both a first world
country, and a third world country.
Crouch (1996:134) states that “South African society embodies both
First World and Third World living standards”.
9. In-text citation - Details to include (3)
If there is no author, use the first significant words of the
title. Usually, three words are enough for in-text citations.
Use ellipses for longer titles to indicate the omission of
words:
(“First significant words of title …”, year of publication)
There was a significant increase in foreign arrivals between November
and December (“Number of foreigners visiting …”, 2016).
“Number of foreigners visiting …” (2016) noted an increase in foreign
arrivals “from 1.3-million in November to 1.5-million in December”.
10. Reference list
