What is a research paper?
Research papers are compact and succinct sources of information on a topic. The key element in defining a good research paper is the use of relevant source material that backs up an excellent presentation of ideas and information. In sum, a research paper is:
- Making yourself an expert on a topic
- Collating ideas
- Presenting the gathered information in written form
- Backing up the research with relevant academic sources
- Presenting strong and relevant information in your own words that synthesize the ideas of the paper
Format of a research paper
The foundation of a research paper is the evidence or corroborating academic research that supports your ideas and suppositions. Professors look for the following in a good research paper:
- Proper use of academic resources - i.e. academic journals, scholarly texts and relevant primary sources
- Correct citation and format of material
- An interesting and succinct introduction
- Integration of your own interpretation of source material and your thesis in the body of the paper
- A conclusion that synthesizes the research and source material.
