STRUCTURAL/FORMAT REQUIREMENTS – 12 pt, Times New Roman, black font – Proper APA7 formatting – Running headers throughout – 1-inch left-hand margins and 1-inch right-hand margins – Double spacing throughout  SECTIONS/HEADER REQUIREMENTS – Title Page – Abstract Page No more than 250 words and on a page of its own with its own heading. A concise summary of the literature review’s content, including context, a description of the objectives, research methods, summary of results, and personal conclusion – Introduction and Background The first part of the introduction should be the presentation of the problem or the research inquiry, state the problem or express it so that the question is implied. Then provide the background of the problem and review the literature on it to give your readers a context to show them how your research inquiry fits into the conversation currently ongoing in your subject area The second part of the introduction should state the purpose and focus.  The third part should be a summary/overview of the paper that briefly leads through the discussion, highlighting the main ideas, and provide a mini blueprint for the paper. RESULTS The analysis of the data collected. How exactly the results are presented depends on the type of research, the subject matter, and the readers’ expectations (i.e. quantitative information, qualitative information, etc.) Identify the type and the data as it is presented, without too much in-depth explanation, keep it concise and to the point.  DISCUSSION Explains what the results mean in the context of the thesis including the meaning of the results and points that support/refer back to the statements made in the introduction. This should be organized so it relates directly to the thesis, avoid introducing new ideas, or discussing tangential issues that aren’t directly related to the thesis.  CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS Unify the research results and discussion with an elaboration on why they are significant to the thesis. Tie all the research to the thesis and bind all the main ideas together.  Recommendations should be relevant and identify a course of action, make a prediction, propose a solution to a problem, or speculate implications/consequences to the ideas presented.  REFERENCES APA7 format _________________________________________________________ STUDIES I HAVE LOCATED Connolly, J.

CONCLUSION: Restate and summarize your findings and discussion. Bibliography- References Elements of a Research Paper • Topic: generally describe the topic and how it fits into your field of study • Set the scene Describe the environment and its conditions Get permission before using personal information • Introduce and describe the problem Describe what you intend to show/argue and why What is its significance? Illustrate the problem with an interesting example (Remember you are writing for an audience and want to capture their interest) • Begin to define terms, concepts, vocabulary If possible, use one authoritative source or combine definitions and footnote your sources Later in the development of your paper, be conscious of using new terms and their definitions Review the Literature: Develop your Hypotheses: Your hypothesis is your proposed explanation that you will test to determine whether it is true or false Methods: Give enough information so that others can follow your procedure, and can replicate it (and hopefully come up with the same findings and conclusions as you did!) • Describe your procedure as completely as possible so that someone can duplicate it completely • Define your sample and its characteristics These should be consistent throughout the test • List the variables used These are what change, or that you manipulate, throughout the test Findings: This is descriptive and numeric data Discussion: Develop your argument based upon your findings. While the data may read for itself, you will need to interpret • how it validates your hypothesis • what falls outside of validity • how it impacts the literature you cited • where further research is needed Conclusion: Restate and summarize your findings and discussion either in order to simply complexity or to provide a summary for those who skip to it! References: Verify with your teacher the proper format Recommendations: A research paper is not an essay, an editorial, or a story. All assertions of fact must be documented.
