list of references for SOP?


Recommended Posts

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!

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.
