GUIDELINES FOR WRITING YOUR RESEARCH PAPER - POLITICAL SCIENCE

TITLE PAGE • Your paper should begin with a title page that follows APA format. • Your title should be interesting and inform the reader of your topic. INTRODUCTION • All papers should begin with an introduction that includes a thesis argument • The purpose of the introduction is to explain the direction of your argument • The introduction states what you are trying to prove or accomplish in the paper • The introduction highlights the main issues of a particular subject or topic • The introduction should take a position, rather than provide a summary of known facts THESIS STATEMENT • The most important part of an introduction is the THESIS STATEMENT • The THESIS STATEMENT consists of sentences or a sentence that states your argument • The THESIS STATEMENT is the direction of your paper BODY • Each body paragraph should include a TOPIC SENTENCE • TOPIC SENTENCES explain/summarize what will be addressed in the paragraph • These opening sentences act as transitions to create a coherent argument • Transitions link paragraphs together and unite the overall position of your argument • Body paragraphs should support your THESIS STATEMENT with evidence/examples • The body of your paper should clearly show that your argument is moving in a certain direction (the direction outlined in

your introduction) • Critique/Analysis CONCLUSION • This is your chance to bring cohesion to your paper by clearly reiterating your main points • Summarize your themes and sub-points • Explain what was suggested in the body of your paper • Tie up your argument and drive home your THESIS STATEMENT/ARGUMENT REFERENCES (APA Format) • Acceptable sources: scholarly books and journals – your paper should include at least 2 books and 2 articles approved by

your professor. • Consult your provided scholarly journal list for Political Science IN-TEXT CITATIONS (APA Format) • Rather than footnotes or endnotes, APA Format uses in-text citations. • Avoid plagiarizing through the use of in-text citations that identify ideas, information or words from a particular source.
