Summary:Retaining the compact format of earlier editions, this updated book presents techniques and models for high school and college students to write successful research papers. After a preface and an introduction to research, the book discusses the 10 steps in writing a research paper: (1) find a subject; (2) read a general article; (3) formulate a temporary thesis and a temporary outline; (4) prepare the preliminary bibliography; (5) take notes from relevant sources; (6) label notecards and revise working outline; (7) write the first draft; (8) revise the text, write introduction and conclusion; (9) parenthetical references or footnotes on draft; and (10) put the paper in final form. The book also presents excerpts from a sample research paper to illustrate the parenthetical reference method and the traditional footnote method.
