Learning Objectives • Identify the major components of a research paper written using American Psychological Association (APA) style. • Apply general APA style and formatting conventions in a research paper. In this chapter, you will learn how to use • AMA (American Medical Association) for medicine, health, and biological sciences • APA (American Psychological Association) for education, psychology, and the social sciences • Chicago—a common style used in everyday publications like magazines, newspapers, and books • MLA (Modern Language Association) for English, literature, arts, and humanities • Turabian—another common style designed for its universal application across all subjects and disciplines While all the formatting and citation styles have their own use and applications, in this chapter we focus our attention on the two styles you are most likely to use in your academic studies: APA and MLA. If you find that the rules of proper source documentation are difficult to keep straight, you are not alone. Writing a good research paper is, in and of itself, a major intellectual challenge. Having to follow detailed citation and formatting guidelines as well may seem like just one more task to add to an already-too-long list of requirements. Following these guidelines, however, serves several important purposes. First, it signals to your readers that your paper should be taken seriously as a student’s contribution to a given academic or professional field; it is the litera...

• Writing for Scholarly Journals • Avoid using first person pronouns • When submitting a paper for professional publication • Read the authors’ guidelines published by each journal. • Be stylistically consistent with regard. • Clearly label all displays with meaningful titles. • Keep language and descriptions as simple as possible. • When possible, use the active rather than passive voice. • Proofread the manuscript carefully. • • Writing a Report for Business or Government Decision Makers • Provide an executive summary at the beginning of the report. a. Get right to the point b. Keep the language simple and concise. c. Be brief. • Place detailed and complicated discussions of methods in a technical appendix. • Use clearly defined and easily understood quantitative analysis techniques. • Use graphs and charts wherever appropriate. • Decision makers like research. • • A researcher at a large university hands questionnaires to the students. • A researcher is conducting a mail survey about attendance at X-rated • A researcher recruits subjects for an experiment • A researcher shows one group of children a violent television show and another group a nonviolent program. • Subjects in an experiment are told to submit a sample of their news writing to an executive of a large newspaper. • • Basic to this concept is the demand that the researcher respect the rights, values, and decisions of other people. • social science research is that of nonmaleficence. • Beneficence stipulates ...

The writing style in a research paper needs to be conventional and should abide by the guidelines provided by the institute. The aim of your writing should be to communicate properly to the audience. The text should feel organized and should flow smoothly. A good piece of writing follows a rhythm and flow and it has some sequence of ideas. A research paper should also be a smoothly written and well-organized piece of writing. Your’s and other peoples’ thoughts should be organized in a manner that creates harmony. You should keep in mind that before finalizing your research paper you have to revise it several times. The reason for each revision can be different because there are so many components of writing that you have to check before finalizing it. You need to revise punctuations and grammatical mistakes, your flow of writing, the organization of ideas, and the wording or language. The revision or drafting gives you the confidence to present your research paper in front of the jury or the audience. Writing style in a research paper There are many Clarity Clarity is very important for any piece of academic writing and more for a research paper. A research paper is written for an audience so it should have clear wordings, sentences, and paragraphs to convey the message properly. Write in an active voice so that the readers can easily move along with your writing. Specificity rather than general terms The use of too many general terms in your research paper can make it les...

Writing mechanics are the established rules that should be followed when writing sentences. They go By consensus, the rules on #1: Parts of speech The classifications of parts of speech such as nouns, verbs, and adjectives among others is one of the most important things to know if you’re a writer. Knowing the difference between a verb and an adverb, or a preposition from a conjunction, plays a big part in being able to communicate effectively. It’s not really necessary to be familiar with the definitions of each, but knowing how to use them properly is. #2: Parts of sentences There are no hard and fast rules about making sentences. This is actually a good thing, as it allows you a lot of leeway to exercise your creativity. Knowi...

Writing Mechanics "Teachers using a traditional, product-oriented approach tend to focus on the formal mechanical and technical aspects of writing while paying little attention to the individual writer's communicative purposes. Thus with this approach there is a danger that, for many children, writing will become an exercise in formal mechanics divorced from personal content and intentions." Joan Brooks McLane and Gillian Dowley McNamee, Early Literacy. Harvard University Press, 1990 "Capitalization and punctuation are the mechanics of writing. They are not simply rules that we must memorize and follow; they are specific signals to the reader. These mechanics are used to determine the meaningand to clarify intent.

Learning Objectives • Identify reasons to research writing projects. • Outline the steps of the research writing process. Why was the Great Wall of China built? What have scientists learned about the possibility of life on Mars? What roles did women play in the American Revolution? How does the human brain create, store, and retrieve memories? Who invented the game of football, and how has it changed over the years? You may know the answers to these questions off the top of your head. If you are like most people, however, you find answers to tough questions like these by searching the Internet, visiting the library, or asking others for information. To put it simply, you perform research. Whether you are a scientist, an artist, a paralegal, or a parent, you probably perform research in your everyday life. When your boss, your instructor, or a family member asks you a question that you do not know the answer to, you locate relevant information, analyze your findings, and share your results. Locating, analyzing, and sharing information are key steps in the research process, and in this chapter, you will learn more about each step. By developing your research writing skills, you will prepare yourself to answer any question no matter how challenging. Reasons for Research When you perform research, you are essentially trying to solve a mystery—you want to know how something works or why something happened. In other words, you want to answer a question that you (and other people...
