My research paper topic: If properly regulated, legalizing prostitution in the United States would increase tax revenue, reduce violent crimes against sex workers, slow the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, and ease the burden on the judicial system.

(This is really two assignments but I wanted the same writer to do it. If i have to adjust my order, please let me know.)

Task 1 (Bibliography):

I need an annotated bibliography by finding 8-10 sources for the research paper, listing the sources in APA-formatted references, and providing an annotation for each source. Each annotation should offer a summary of the source, an evaluation of its author’s or publisher’s credibility, and an assessment of its relevance to the topic.

Must be original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly.

The submission MUST include APA formatted in-text citations with a corresponding reference list for any direct quotes or paraphrasing. It is not necessary to list sources that were consulted if they have not been quoted or paraphrased in the text of the assessment.

A. Compose an appropriate, arguable thesis statement that previews two to four main points and that you plan to use in your research paper. (My thesis is at the top of the page.)

B. Create an annotated bibliography of eight to ten appropriate, credible sources that you plan to use in your research paper.

1. Provide a full, APA-formatted reference citation for the 8–10 sources.
2. Provide an annotation (suggested length of 150 words) for each of the 8–10 sources by doing the following:
a. Summarize the information presented in the source.
b. Analyze the credibility of the author of the source or of the publication (e.g. journal, publisher, or website), if no author is present.
c. Analyze the relevance of the source to your chosen research topic.
3. Write each annotation in your own words, without the excessive use of direct quotation or extensive paraphrasing, for the 8–10 sources.

Task 2 (Research Paper):

The writing tone for your research paper should be formal and appropriate for academic writing. The information in the paper should be based on credible source material.

The paper must follow APA documentation guidelines and must include an APA-formatted reference list, not your annotated bibliography from Task 1. Any sources that you cite in the paper must be included in the reference list, and any source in the reference list must also be cited within your paper. Please see “Appendix B: APA Format” from the learning resource, found in the web links section below, for additional directions on creating an APA-formatted reference list.

Note: An abstract is not required for this task, but including a title page is recommended.

Must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. An originality report is provided when you submit your task that can be used as a guide.

Note: When using sources to support ideas and elements in an assessment, the submission MUST include APA formatted in-text citations with a corresponding reference list for any direct quotes or paraphrasing. It is not necessary to list sources that were consulted if they have not been quoted or paraphrased in the text of the assessment.

A. Write an original and cohesive argumentative research paper (suggested length of 8–10 pages). (My topic is at the top of the page)
1. Provide an effective introduction.
2. Provide an appropriate thesis statement that previews two to four main points.
3. Develop each of the previewed main points in effective paragraphs with support from a variety of sources.
4. Provide an effective conclusion.

B. Incorporate seven academically credible sources in your paper.

Note: More than seven sources may be used but are not required.

C. Acknowledge sources, using APA-formatted in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.
