Most social science classes will require you to use APA style to format your in-text citations as well as your list of references. Sometimes you will also be asked to format your paper according to APA style, so be sure to double check with your instructor if you're not sure what you're being asked to do.

Google Docs allows everyone who shares a document to edit it collectively.

Google Groups allows your group to share documents and keep track of discussions and deadlines.

Remember in addition to direct quotes you also have to cite your sources for:

ideas (unless they're your own)
summaries
paraphrases
facts that aren't "common knowledge"

There are even methods for citing class discussions and personal communication like interviews and email.

Don't take shortcuts--when in doubt, cite!

Books

Books might also be a useful resource for your research, especially if this is your first marketing plan. Check the OSU catalog for books available at both Cascades and in Corvallis.

Try keyword searching for "marketing plan" (just like that, in quotes) or, if you really want to get fancy do a subject search for "marketing--planning."
