Research: Writing Like a ScholarA research paper is an
expanded essay that presents your own interpretation,
evaluation, or argument, using what knowledge is already
available on the subject. This type of paper involves studying a
topic in order to find the best possible information in that field.
Your paper must present your own opinions and ideas supported
by your research, correctly credited to the original authors and
organizations.
Basic Requirements:
Length:
900-1,500 words. A
minimum
of 900 words is required in order for your essay to be
substantial. What is important is that you get your point across.
Organization:
Introduction, supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion.
Language:
Use formal language and avoid the use of first and second
person -- avoid references to yourself (NO "I believe, in my
opinion" etc.), no personal anecdotes, and do
not
address the reader (avoid "you" altogether).
Documentation:
five correctly documented
quotes
or paraphrases from five adequate sources.
Style:
APA style is usually used for the type of research you will be
doing. Continue in that style unless otherwise stated by your
professor.
Cross-referncing:
You must use
in-text
citations (also known as in-text references) or signal phrases
each time you use the words or ideas of your sources in the
essay. Cross-reference your work as explained in your
handbook. The handbook is especially necessary for this essay.
Support:
You'll need a minimum of five sources. Support your ideas
with expert opinion, facts, statistics, and other information you
find in your research. It is a mistake to create a
Frankenstein research paper
by copying and pasting.
