Research paper

Featured Replies

A research paper presents the results of your investigations on a selected topic. Based on your own thoughts and the facts and ideas you have gathered from a variety of sources, a research paper is a creation that is uniquely yours. The experience of gathering, interpreting, and documenting information, developing and organizing ideas and conclusions, and communicating them clearly will prove to be an important and satisfying part of your education.

There are many approaches to research — an essential part of every business and profession — and many ways to document findings. The library has books which will help you, and most English composition textbooks contain chapters on research techniques and style. It is important to follow consistently and accurately a recommended format that is clear and concise and that has been approved by your teacher.

 

The formatting of citations recommended in this guide is based on Modern Language Association recommendations. If your instructor requires another format, you can ask that instructor how such a format will be different from the recommendations we have made and make the appropriate adjustments.

It is true, but then each journal has its own specificities, particularly on bibliography format, order of the sections and nam of the sections.

Is bhups talking about a journal submission? I got the impression he was talking about some undergraduate project or similar.

 

Either way, he should follow whatever guidelines are appropriate. But I am very unclear as to what he is asking or the point he wants to make that opens up a discussion.
