GUIDE FOR WRITING RESEARCH PAPER

 A research paper addresses or raises some issues, event or behavior in the society. The issue, event or behavior must easy to recognize and found within the first page of your research paper. The introduction of your paper should include a justification of why somebody or the society should be concerned about finding an answer to your research problem. Your literature review must critically evaluate how other scholarship has addressed the general or specific area of the issue you are researching on. The literature review is mostly done for two reasons. First, it allows you to develop a theoretical or conceptual explanation of how events or behaviors occur. And, second, it allows you to determine and explain how your research adds to the body of knowledge of the behavior, issue, or event. The concluding part of a research ties everything together. Research relies on the evaluation of multiple sources. You must use at least 12 different scholarly sources. Avoid plagiarism. Plagiarized work automatically earns a zero point. I do not accept any source from Wikipedia. If you have a question about whether or not a source is scholarly, just ask your professor. All works used must be cited and properly acknowledged.
