Writing a Research Paper
Some general guidelines to keep in mind while writing a research paper.
Finding a Researchable Topic
· Try to narrow down two or three topics that truly interests you
· Talk with your course instructor and classmates about your topics
· Pose your topics as a question to be answered or a problem to be solved
Finding, Selecting, and Reading Sources
You will need to look at the following types of sources:
· Look up library books using catalog on Moodle or library page on the website. Search using the keyword or subject.
· Use LIRN. This database has peer reviewed full text articles, E-books, newspaper articles etc.
· Open courseware, Magazine and newspaper articles can provide you with some facts.
· Primary vs. secondary sources
Documenting Information
The following systems will help keep you organized:
· Create an annotated bibliography for all your resources. This allows you to cite, summarize and evaluate resources.
· Use Bibme, Citefast or Refdot etc. to organize your content
· If you want to use 10 references, plan to research three times more that would be around 30.
Start your paper from bottom up
· Start by writing references.
· Once you have enough material to start, work on the topic, its significance, etc.
· Use your referenced material to enhance your topic, refute it or build on it.
· Any time a quote is used from the above organized material, provide in text citation.
Writing the Body
· Use outline and prospectus as flexible guides
· Build your essay around points you want to make (i.e., don't let your sources organize your paper)
· Integrate your sources into your discussion
· Summarize, analyze, explain, and evaluate published work rather than merely reporting it
Writing Abstract
· After completing your paper, write an abstract summarizing the paper.
References
· Make sure all the in text citations have references. In APA, references have to be alphabetized. They have to follow hanging indentation.
· Generally, balance your references by having some from peer-reviewed journals, some from books and some from internet resources.
Revise the Final Draft
· Go through the APA format checklist.
· Make sure there is no bias in writing.
· Put the paper through plagiarism detector
· Check capitalizations, indents, levels of headings, in text citations, tables etc. for correct usage
