A "hanging indent"

Explore an academic journal within your discipline. You will need to find this journal online through the university’s online library tool. You can access a journal at http://libguides.lib.msu.edu/eresources/ejournals. (account number: hexinyua password: HXY123456yxh) But first, you should watch the library tutorial in this section and complete the Discovery Writing assignment.
After choosing and thoroughly assessing your journal, you will write an essay that addresses several aspects of that journal such as:
• its aesthetics/appearance
• titles and subtitles and what they indicate
• the parts of the journal like the table of contents, notes, abstracts, etc. and why these are important to the journal
• the individuals such as editors, researchers, and publishers who compose the journal and articles within.
• how the various parts are arranged in the journal and why they are arranged this way
• the arrangement of the essays in the journal and how they are conversing with each other
• the rhetorical elements of the written works in the journal including specific research terms and their definitions.
You should use this essay to narrate and inform. Narrate as though you are doing an inquisitive exploration of the journal and inform your audience of the unique qualities of its discipline. In this essay, you should express your opinion of the exploration, how you feel about encountering new information, and what you are learning through this experience.
As you explore the journal, make your audience want to learn about the journal. Think of yourself as an anthropologist who has found an artifact belonging to another culture. Be curious and lead your reader on this journey.
For this assignment, you must refer to at least four written works within the journal specifically to show the academic conversation happening in the journal. This does not mean you need to fully understand the material in the journal; only that you need to show what they seem to be saying in common or in contrast. Are they asking and answering some of the same research questions? Do they agree on a particular topic or are they in conflict? Do they use similar research and research questions, or not? Answer questions like this.
These sources (and any other) should be cited at the end of the essay in the citation format used by that particular discipline. Your journal, as a whole, should also be cited and you should have a properly formatted citation page. Use Purdue Owl and any other tools introduced in the library session to help you correctly format citations and the citation page.
(Remember, ALL essays should have a unique title!)
This essay should be 1700-2000 words and is worth 150 points.
Formatting
All final projects should be composed in a standard, 12-point Times New Roman font, and double-spaced. Word count MUST appear in the top left-hand corner of your draft. Your project should be saved as a Word document and submitted to the assignments section of our course in the designated area for that assignment.
You will also need to include a citation page and create proper in-text citations in the citation style of your journal. First, find out what citation style your journal uses (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc) then learn (if you don't already know) how to cite in that style. Below, I have listed some common questions and answers with tutorials to help you.
How do I quote and cite a quote in text?

1. First, you can use the resources provided in the Purdue Owl citations page to get specific instructions for your citation method.

   How do I indent lines in my citation page?
3. If you've already looked at how to create a citation page for your essay, you should have noticed that you need to indent all the lines in a citation after the first line. You will need to learn how to create a "hanging indent" to do this.
4. Watch this tutorial to create a "hanging indent" in Google docs.
5. Watch this tutorial to create a "hanging indent" in Word docs.
   Do I need a cover page and abstract if my citation style requires them?
6. No. I want you to focus solely on citing correctly and exploring the journal. Continue to format your materials in the way we have done so in the past.
   Formatting
   All final projects should include BOTH your first and final drafts (and a revision summary) composed in a standard, 12-point Times New Roman font, and double-spaced. Word count MUST appear in the top left-hand corner of both our first and final drafts. Your project should be saved as a Word or Pages document and submitted to the assignments section of our course in the designated area for that assignment.
   Due
   As stated in the syllabus, all papers are due on the assigned day at midnight; late papers will not be automatically accepted unless we have come to a prior arrangement. I reserve the right to refuse to accept any late work. If a late paper is accepted after the deadline, it will be penalized according to the instructor’s discretion as laid out in the Syllabus.
   Revision Summary
   Write at least 200 words below the final draft that summarizes all of the things you changed from the first to the final draft of the essay. Word count MUST appear in the top left-hand corner of your summary.
