One of the central features of scholarly writing is the use of evidence to make an argument. You must learn how to incorporate other scholars' writing and arguments into your own.
In scholarly writing, you will often use paraphrased material or direct quotations from sources to support your research and strengthen your academic argument.

APA Checklist
Welcome to the paper review service! Paper reviews are an optional, supplementary service available to Walden University students at no additional cost.
We’re here to assist Walden students in becoming better academic writers by providing online, asynchronous feedback in appointment-based paper reviews. Students who are working on discussion posts, course papers, and a doctoral premise or prospectus can make appointments for one-on-one paper reviews.
Before signing up for a paper review appointment, you need to register in myPASS (my Paper Appointment Scheduling System).
