Writing the Paper

Now that you have the research plan and research articles which enhance your project, it's time to write the paper. Now before we get into the nuts and bolts of the paper, there are a few things you need to consider during your writing process. Considering these elements before you start writing will save you frustrations at the end of the process. 

Things to Consider:

• Academic Language 
• Copyright and Plagiarism 

Now you have all of the plans and strategies you need to create a great paper, but fear it is too daunting of a process. One suggested strategy for making it more manageable is taking the paper section by section.

Most papers can be broken down into seven sections: 

• Abstract
• Introduction
• Literature Review
• Methodology
• Results
• Discussion
• Conclusion 

Each section has it's own purpose in the structure of the overall article, and each is essential in it's own right. To learn about each section and why it is important, click on the links above.
