In the doctoral capstone, students will likely use a variety of sources to support their setting, context, problem, literature review, justification for the method and design, and other information in the document. The bulk of the sources Walden writers use should be from peer-reviewed journal articles, followed by trade journal articles, books, government websites, professional organizations in the field, and other capstones (dissertations/doctoral studies/project studies).
Here is a list of the types of sources commonly used in capstones, with general information regarding each type. We include advice regarding the reliability or strength of the source and therefore the recommended frequency those sources would be cited in the capstone.
