When coming up with a research topic, it involves several stages: knowledge of the topic being the most essential. The topic should fit into the requirements of the research: the topic should be able to answer the research questions. The sources are collaborated for information to support the research questions, whether to use secondary or primary sources. Reinforcing literacy information is important, information should be credible, reliable and accurate – especially if using a secondary source. The source will provide information on the researchers that have previously been conducted by other scholars so making sure the information is accurate is utterly important. After fining the sources, researching and writing the research, it is essential to revise and format it to the required writing style. Comment by Philip Brown: Use a semicolon here. Comment by Philip Brown: This is a run-on sentence. Comment by Philip Brown: Wrong form of this word for this context. Comment by Philip Brown: This word is misspelled.

Revising a research paper is essential in pointing out minor mistakes that were made during writing. The first stage in revision is going through the written document and rearranges ideas in a concise, understandable and flowing manner. Additionally, it is an opportunity to edit by removing or adding points which do not make sense or are not critical to the research and adding the ones which were missed during the research. Formatting, on the other hand, is crucial since it first demonstrates the virtue of the ability to follow instructions as well as giving the research paper consistency which shows organization. In this case, the Turabian is a formatting style whose standards are used mainly in the history field therefore when a scholar or a student in the field of history adheres to the standards of the style it demonstrates discipline. Comment by Philip Brown: Wrong form of this word for this context. Comment by Philip Brown: This is a run-on sentence.
