How Many Sources Do I Need?

Abstract

History Student: How many sources do I need to write this paper?

History Professor: As many as you need.

History Student: Could you give me some idea of how many that might be?

History Professor: I really couldn’t say. It depends very much on how much people have written on your topic.
