Students will write a 7-9 page research paper describing a vaccine. The student may choose any vaccine in which they are interested. The vaccine may be either existing or may be currently in development. 

Students will work in teams of two on this project, each contributing equally to the final product. Students may choose with whom they wish to work.

Research Paper Structure:

• introduction
• disease
• distribution/morbidity and mortality of the disease
• pathogen
• pathogenesis
• vaccine
• design
• delivery method
• mechanism
• target population
• efficacy
• problems associated with the vaccine
• summary/conclusion
• citations/references

When you search Google Scholar, the scientific articles in the databases listed below will be included in your results. Scholar acts as an umbrella search engine for all of them and displays information when the library has access to the journal. 

However, searching each database individually will give you a better hit rate because of the specialized search "bells and whistles" of the individual database. If you find that most of the hits you find useful come from a particular database, go to that database to run your search.

CSE recommends placing reference to personal communications such as letters and conversations with the running text, not as formal end references. The nature and the source of the cited information should be identified by an appropriate statement. Place the source information within parentheses, using a term or terms to indicate clearly that the citation is not represented in the reference list. 

...and most of these meningiomas proved to be inoperable (2003 letter from RS Grant to me; unreferenced, see "Notes") while a few were not. 

The author must provide written permission to the publisher from the cited person (if living) or from the cited organization  if it is carried in a document such as an internal memorandum that is not accessible to scholars. The permission should be acknowledged in an "Acknowledgements" or a "Notes" section that follows the text of an article or is placed at the end of a book's main text; such statements may include additional details such as the reason for the communication.
