Works Cited

Notes are italicized. 

Blume, Micheal; Ramsel, Carsten; Graupner, Sven. “Religiosity as a demographic factor- an underestimated connection?” Marburg Journal of Religion 11.1 (June 2006). Web. 24 Oct. 2010. http://www.uni-marburg.de/fb03/ivk/mjr/pdfs/2006/articles/blume2006.pdf

This source is credible because the authors are listed and is a scholarly paper. It also squarely fits my topic.

Eberstadt, Nicholas. “America the Fertile.” Washingtonpost.com. Washington Post Co., 6 May 2007. Web. 24 Oct. 2010. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/04/AR2007050401891.html?hpid=opinionsbox2

This one is an editorial, so not factually credible. As I don't use it to make a strong point, just for a snappy quotation, I think this one is fine.

Fontana, David. “Stress.” Managing Stress. British Psychology Society, 1989. Web. 24 Oct. 2010 http://honolulu.hawaii.edu/intranet/committees/FacDevCom/guidebk/teachtip/stress.htm

This is credible because the source is named, affiliated with a college, and largely quoted from an earlier scholarly paper.

Fry, Richard; Cohn, D’vera. “Women, Men and the New Economics of Marrige.” Social & Demographic Trends. Pew Research Center, 19 Jan. 2010. Web. 24 Oct. 2010. http://pewsocialtrends.org/pubs/750/new-economics-of-marriage

This is a reputeable source- Pew is well known for accurate and unbaised surveys.

Gavrilov, Leonid; Heuveline, Patrick. “Aging of Population.” Longevity Science. Center on Aging, 24 Jun. 2007. Web. 25 Oct. 2010. http://longevity-science.org/Population_Aging.htm

This is an encyclopedia article, the authors are named, and it is on topic.

“Glossary.” World Bank. The World Bank Group, n.d. Web. 24 Oct. 2010. http://www.worldbank.org/depweb/beyond/global/glossary.html

This is just a definition. It doesn't have an author, but isn't too important, so I'd use it if again if I couldn't find a better source.

Kröhnert, Steffen; Klingholz, Reiner. “Emancipation or Child Benefits?” Berlin Institut. Berlin Institut, 2008. Web. 24 Oct. 2010. http://www.berlin-institut.org/fileadmin/user_upload/Veroeffentlichungen/Emancipation_online.pdf

This is another scholarly paper, so I'm happy with it. The only reservation I have is that it is transated from the German, so it has what seems to be awkward phrasing.

Klingholz, Reiner. “Europe’s Real Demographic Challenge.” Hoover Institution. Leland Stanford Junior University, 1 Oct. 2009. Web. 27 Oct. 2010. http://www.hoover.org/publications/policy-review/article/5437

This is credible because of the author's name being provided, and the sponsoring institution is scholarly and named.

Lino, Mark. “Expenditures on Children by Families, 2009.” Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion. United States Department of Agriculture, June 2010. Web. 24 Oct. 2010. http://www.cnpp.usda.gov/Publications/CRC/crc2009.pdf

This is a reputeable governmental source, with a qualified author whose name is provided.

Malthus, Thomas. “An Essay on the Principle of Population.” Library of Economics and Liberty. Liberty Fund, Inc., 2000. Web. 24 Oct. 2010. <http://www.econlib.org/library/Malthus/malPlong1.html#Chapter%20I> http://www.econlib.org/library/Malthus/malPlong3.html#I.VI.1

This is very relevant, as the author is the founder of the entire branch of demography that I am disscussing. The only regret I have with this source is that I couldn't use it more.

“Urbanization and Global Change.” Introduction to Global Change. University of Michigan, n.d. Web. 24 Oct. 2010. http://www.globalchange.umich.edu/globalchange2/current/lectures/urban_gc/

This doesn't provide an author, but the publisher is credible and the claims are not contested. I don't want to use the source, but I couldn't find a better one.

“Opportunity Cost (Economics).” Britannica Online Encyclopedia. Encyclopedia Britannica, 2010. Web. 24 Oct. 2010. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/430254/opportunity-cost

Another definition, with a credible source. I'm happy with it.



After going through this, I think the sources are credible, but I'd like to know what y'all think of them.
Thanks.
