Important Factors of Research Writing Quality

How to Start and Complete a Research Paper

Chose a Topic

Your job will be more pleasant, and you will be more apt to retain information if you choose a topic that holds your interest.Even if a general topic is assigned, as much as possible find an approach that suits your interests Your topic should be one on which you can find adequate information, you might need to do some

preliminary research to determine this.

Organizing: Mind map or Outline

Based on your preliminary reading, draw up a working mind map

or outline Include any important, interesting, or provocative points, including your own ideas about the topic A mind map is less linear and may even include questions you want to find answers to You may revise this mind map or outline at any time;

it is much easier to reorganize a paper by crossing out or adding sections to a mind map or outline than it is to laboriously start over with the writing itself.

Researching: Facts and Examples

Try the internet, electronic databases, reference books, newspaper articles, and books for a balance of sources Write important points, details, and examples, always distinguishing between direct quotes and paraphrasing Avoid relying too heavily on internet sources, which vary widely in quality and authority and sometimes even disappear before you can complete your paper

Rethinking: Matching mind Map and Thesis

After you have read deeply and gathered plenty

of information, expand or revise your working mind map or outline by adding information, explanations, and examples Aim for balance in developing each of your main points Return to the library for additional information if it is

needed to evenly develop these points, or revise your thesis statement to better reflect what you have learned or the direction your paper seems to have taken

Drafting: Beginning in the middle

Write the body of the paper, starting with the thesis statement and omitting for now the introduction (unless you already know exactly how to begin, but few writers do) Use supporting detail to logically and systematically validate your thesis statement

Revising: Organization and Attribution

Read, revise, and make sure that

your ideas are clearly organized

and that they support your thesis

statement Check that you have

quoted and paraphrased

accurately, and that you have

acknowledged your sources even

for your paraphrasing.

one-of the first, introductory paragraph The conclusion should not simply restate your thesis, but should refer to it.

Proofreading: Time and Objectivity

Time permitting, allow a few days to elapse between the time you finish writing your last draft and the time you begin to make final corrections This "time out" will make you more perceptive, more objective, and more critical On your final read, check for grammar, punctuation, correct word choice, adequate and smooth transitions, sentence structure, and sentence variety
