StatsNerd Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Maybe a stupid question, but in my SOP I cite two studies when talking about my research interests. Should I include a listing of the full references at the end of my SOP? In APA style on a separate page labeled "References?" Seems awkward and maybe unnecessary but I wanted to ask. Thanks!

Loric Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) If they're not your studies then a complete enough reference in the text that someone could go find it if they wanted is fine. "So-and-so's study of Blah Blah Blah in XYZ.." should be sufficient. You're putting info in context and speaking to peers in a semi-formal manner, it's not a research paper. If it was research work you did, then it's going to show up in your resume/cv/etc.. and need not be explained right then and there.

mphct Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I once a P.S. that has a long list of reference. It was for PhD. The author hit the H. University. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
