Writing a research paper

Writing a research paper is an easy task if you know how to manage it, what to do, when and why you are writing. Research papers are written for educational and research purposes so you have to set notes before doing anything. First bring some cards and write down your own ideas about the topic you are going to write about. It is better to begin earlier than you have decided to begin writing in order to leave time for revising and editing your work. Secondly, arrange the cards on which ideas are on then begin searching for resources that will help you with your research. Remember to gather and discover as many resources as possible even if not used as references, you can put them in the bibliography list at last. Some people say that you can delay writing the introduction and the abstract to the end when you have finished your papers as you will be able to write a good introduction for your work. Choose a good style for writing which could be APA or MLA style, usually it is better to double space your writing from choosing the double spacing option from the format list in Word program. Do not write many things n the introduction but summarize your ideas and organize them then present for your work and explain if there are chapters and the numbers of chapters in your research. Do not write in the paper you are supposed to present but in a draft paper. Choose a good writing format which is usually Arial or Times New Roman 12 or 14. Titling your research is a very important point so choose a good title which is a step that could be also delayed when you finish but I think it is better to find a good suitable title and subtitles before writing. Begin writing the draft from the sources you chose and remember to paraphrase and summarize using your own language as much as possible or you can put the copied text in quotation marks and refer it to its source as research has ethics such as copyrights and intellectual properties that any researcher has to put in mind while writing a research. Leave margins to let your instructor mark and comment on your work. When you finish writing, you have to edit your work and omit or add whatever you think more suitable and proper. Be careful as some researches need to be written in a specific number of words or pages assigned by the teachers. Correct errors of spelling and grammar as much as possible and then write a good conclusion that summarizes what you have done with some own views as well as some critical points and a future look of yours. Remember to reference your work with adding any suitable bibliography you used or read fast about the research topic. Be accurate and present your paper in a time prior to the specified deadline in order to do any asked modifications by your teacher.
