Research Term Paper
Class,
Below is the order your Research Term Paper should follow:
-APA title page
-APA abstract (not an introduction, but a summary)
-On the first page of the body, begin at the top with your Research Questions and Hypotheses. List these as RQ1: xxxx and beneath that H1: xxx then RQ2: xxxx and beneath it H2: xxxx and so on. Begin numbering the pages in the upper right hand corner on this page and continue until the end of the manuscript (do not number the Reference page).
-Then on the same page begin the paper itself. Include your main and subheadings (level 1 and level 2). The first main heading should be Introduction. Don’t skip line spaces between sections.
-For the final two main headings of your paper, ensure that you have a heading entitled Summary ( with a narrative section beneath it that looks back and highlights the main points of your paper without mere repetition and includes answers to your research questions), followed by a heading and section entitled Conclusion (looks forward predicts, forecasts, recommends).
-The final page(s) will be the References in APA format. If you cited in-text, it must be on the Reference list. If on the Reference list, it must be cited in-text. No plagiarism!
-Avoid long bullet points, lists, large pictures, etc. You can attach graphs, charts, and diagrams at the end if you wish and list as Appendices. These do not count as part of the page count.
As always, feel free to contact me if you have a question.
