Instructions:
What you will be writing is basically a review paper; and if it has something to do with applied behavior analysis, it is ‘fair game’.Generally, you can find review papers in almost any of the relevant journals; any these would provide an excellent example of how to organize the paper, and what to include.Here are some guidelines or tips about writing a review paper:Review papers usually go over the articles and books relevant to a topic that you are REALLY interested in. This can be research regarding a particular kind of behavior; individuals with a particular diagnosis (e.g., autism, Down’s syndrome, etc.); a setting, such as in the home, in community settings, in school, etc.; or a type of behavioral intervention.
Organizing a review paper
The basic organization for a review article can be found in the APA Publication Manual, 6th Ed., (2010) pp.10-11. There are several excellent guides online for how to organize a review paper in APA format. For example, the following is a guide for writing a graduate level review paper: https://people.trentu.ca/~nicholasjones/Writing a Review Paper.pdfPreview the document
Many other sources are available online, and all should cover similar guidelines, and may include examples. Another great source for how to write a review article would be to look up a topic in a behavioral journal and read any of the review articles in the journal.
