The public, our stakeholders, and our administrators expect that the materials we all produce for Michigan State University Extension will be sound, scholarly, and evidence based. The primary way for you to demonstrate the research base of your work is to draw on high-quality information sources and cite all of your sources appropriately. Doing so lends legitimacy and credibility to your work, demonstrates its scholarship, and protects you from accusations of plagiarism.
The MSU Extension Educational Materials Team has created this course to enable you to effectively prepare your educational project for submission to an editor. It contains interactive scenarios and activities that should help you through the writing and submission process.
