All reference sources should be from academic journals, professional trade publications, and respected business or industry magazines. Limit the use of books as sources. Do NOT use articles or sources from Wikipedia! Use references published within the past six years.

• Paper should be 10 pages at a minimum.
• Use one-inch margins on all sides.
