List the general guidelines to follow as you create a research paper.
(31) Verified1. Select a topic. Spend time brainstorming ideas for a topic. Choose one you find interesting. For shorter papers, narrow the scope of the topic; for longer papers, broaden the scope. Identify a tentative thesis statement, which is a sentence describing the paper's subject matter.
2. Research the topic and take notes. Gather credible, relevant information about the topic that supports the thesis statement. Sources of research include books, magazines, newspapers, and the Internet. As you record facts and ideas, list details about the source: title, author, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, etc. When taking notes, be careful not to plagiarize. That is, do not use someone else's work and claim it to be your own. If you copy information directly, place it in quotation marks and identify its source.
3. Organize your ideas. Classify your notes into related concepts. Make an outline from the categories of notes. In the outline, identify all main ideas and supporting details.
4. Write the first draft, referencing sources. From the outline, compose the paper. Every research paper should include an introduction containing the thesis statement, supporting details, and a conclusion. Follow the guidelines identified in the required documentation style. Reference all sources of information.
5. Create the list of sources. Using the formats specified in the required documentation style, completely list all sources referenced in the body of the research paper in alphabetical order.
6. Proofread and revise the paper. If possible, proofread the paper with a fresh set of eyes, that is, at least one to two days after completing the first draft. Proofreading involves reading the paper with the intent of identifying errors (spelling, grammar, etc.)and looking for ways to improve the paper (wording, transitions, flow, etc.). Try reading the paper out loud, which helps to identify unclear or awkward wording. Ask someone else to proofread the paper and give you suggestions for improvements.
