The sources below can be used to get ideas, but do not cite them in your work (instead, go to the respected sources above and cite those)

Source

Why You Shouldn’t Cite This Source or Type of Source

Wikipedia (and all other Wiki sites)

Red X Clipart #1

Wikipedia gives you some good ideas to start your research, but this source has several major disadvantages. First, anyone can change a Wiki article at any time. You often do not have any information on the author, and the entries, although eventually reviewed, do not have to go through the same rigorous review process as most publications. Additionally, encyclopedia entries are not usually considered citable sources anyway (see below). So instead of citing Wikis directly, go to the source of the information and read the main article, report, book, or other document directly. That will give you more context and you will be better able to evaluate whether the information is appropriate for your project. You will also have confidence that the information that you cite (from the primary source) will not change. And, finally, the reader will have more confidence in the information you are using to build your argument.

Britannica (and other encyclopedias) Red X Clipart #1

Formal encyclopedias do not have the same issue as Wikis because they are written professionally and, although they are updated, they are not vulnerable to random edits by users. Still, encyclopedias offer general information that should only be used as a starting point. Take those ideas and search for current data, news, and research from the sources above.

Informal blogs Red X Clipart #1

Blogs can be a great place to begin your research, but, unless the blog is published by a nationally or internationally renowned publisher in the finance field, you should not cite it. You can use informal blogs to get some initial ideas about your research question, but then, search for answers from more respected sources.

Secondary sources Red X Clipart #1

This means citing information that was cited elsewhere. For instance, if a news website writes an article that includes a statistic, try to find the report where that statistic came from (usually, the article links directly to the report, but sometimes you have to search for it). When you find the original report, read it (or, if it’s too long, read the exec summary and the section that is relevant to your research–make sure you read enough to understand the context for the stat). Then, cite the report directly. Using the primary source helps eliminate third-party bias (e.g., from the news reporter). Similarly, it ensures that you are using the statistic correctly (sometimes reporters and politicians report statistics with tricky language or spin the context so that it is difficult to tell exactly what is being reported). You are also simply checking to make sure that the stat is correct, and, while doing so, you will likely come across more information that is helpful and relevant to your research.

Outdated sources Red X Clipart #1

Information changes quickly, especially in the finance field. For this reason, news articles can be a great place to begin your research. They will usually point you to the most recent reports, which you can then access. They also include opinions from experts and analysts, which you can research further on your own to locate additional sources. Just make sure you are reading current news. Also, when you look for other sources, such as scholarly journal articles, try to search within the past year or two; otherwise, the data might no longer be relevant.

Table 1. Organizing Your Data
Type the country you would invest in here

Reason 1 (≤ 5 Words) In this cell list one or two pieces of data (e.g., percentage increase in a particular financial indicator) or specific examples (e.g., a policy shift or other change in the economic, political, or social environment) that support Reason 1. The difference between the green column (left) and the yellow column (right) is that the green cells are a brief but general reference (e.g., “exploding GDP”), whereas the yellow cells are specifics (e.g., “5% increase over the previous two quarters” or “new policy in 2016 incentivizing large retail companies to increase jobs”). In this table, you are not writing complete sentences yet—just briefly note the specific data and examples you found in your research.
Reason 2 (≤ 5 Words) List one or two pieces of data or specific examples that support Reason 2
Reason 3 (≤ 5 Words) List one or two pieces of data or specific examples that support Reason 3
Table 2. Constructing Your Paragraph
Type the country you would invest in here

In this cell you will construct your paragraph, using the information you compiled above. Start with a thesis sentence that concisely and clearly states your recommendation while briefly summarizing the three main points, either by briefly mentioning them or grouping them into an overall theme. Add your supporting sentences with the data and details. You should have about 3 to 5 supporting sentences. Make sure that all of the supporting sentences have footnotes with a corresponding reference or references. You do not need a concluding sentence for this paragraph. In addition to your footnotes, make sure to create a bibliography on the following page. Check to make sure you are under 125 words (not counting the footnotes). Please see the instruction video for more details and examples.
Bibliography
Please follow CMOS style to create a list of all of your sources. This is in addition to the footnotes because it gives the reader the opportunity to scan your sources quickly in alphabetical order. Note that the form is different for the bibliography than for the notes. Examples are given in the CMOS quick guide.
