How to Write a History Research
Paper
created by Essay-Academy.com
HOW TO CHOOSE SUITABLE
TOPIC?
 In order to select the best topic for you, it is needed that you refine it
until it’s ready.
 First, you need to think of a history area that you are interested in.
 Remember if you are not interested in writing this paper, no one will
be interested in reading it, either.
 For example, let’s suppose you have selected the WWII. This is a
very broad topic which needs to be narrowed.
HOW TO CHOOSE SUITABLE
TOPIC?
 Let’s proceed with breaking down the topic and identifying possible
themes until you selected the interesting one.
 Perhaps you are interested in the causes of WWII? Some political or
military leaders involved in the conflict?
 Or maybe you want to describe some battle? As you see, there are
lots of possible topics to be extracted form one topic area.
 So continue brainstorming until you think that you have selected the
one for your paper.
But I Cannot Find Any Relevant
Material On My Topic…
 If you selected a topic, this does not mean that you should
immediately write about it.
 Spend some time researching it to know whether there is
considerable amount of available literature to include in your paper.
 Ask your librarian for help as well. As you review the books on the
topic, you may find useful literature in the footnotes and references.
 Lots of helpful information can be found online as well.
HOW DO I PUT ALL THIS
TOGETHER?
A. Outline
 Think about possible preliminary thesis statements.
 Pick up the one that expresses your own opinion and make a
structure according to your selection.
 It is recommended not to get too detailed in the outline.
B. The First Draft
 Begin writing your paper using your outline and information that you
gathered. Continue writing and do not worry if there are some gaps
in your research.
 It will be much easier to fill them as you write the final draft.
Experienced writers suggest not to start with an introduction.
 Save it for later and write the body. In the end, you will be inspired
and your introduction will be written in the matter of minutes.
C. The Second Draft
• This middle draft is often called
a heart of the writing process
for any papers. It is
recommended to leave your
first draft unattended for a day
and then come back fresh.
Read your paper as someone
else’s and use your criticism to
improve the content.
• Do not be discouraged if you
think that your work needs
changes. Even experienced
writers do this and revise
works several times. At this
point it is also recommended
to check the clarity of your
main points and their relation
with the thesis statement.
B. The Third Draft (The Final
One)
 All that is left to do is revise the work in terms of style and rules of
academic writing.
 See whether you used appropriate words and sentence structures.
 Make sure you have not repeated yourself and make transitions
smooth and logical.
