The Short Research Paper In an academic context, students are required to write essays including references to other sources to support their thesis statements and main ideas.
To support their ideas, they need to research what authorities have to say about their topics and include relevant support from outside sources by - summarizing, - quoting, - or paraphrasing it.
However, you should always keep in mind that no one elses words are as important as yours!!! As a writer, you use summaries, quotes, or paraphrases from others only to strenghten your own points.
Your instructor wants to see that you have researched authorities ideas and findings, and that you have integrated those with your own writing well.
For Websites: Be extra critical and skeptical about the credibility of documents on the Web. Ask yourself these questions: a. What is the source? If you cannot find it, do not use the site. b. If you can find the source, is it trustworthy? i. University publications are usually trustwothy. ii. Government documents may or may not be. iii. Blogs, which are often free, written discussions of various topics, are not always reliable. Make sure the author is an expert in the field before using his or her opinions.
2. In general, do not use information that is older than five years. 3. Choose a passage that directly supports ypur point. 4. Do not take a passage out of context. 5. Do not use more than two pieces of concrete support in one paragraph. Most of the paragragh should be your own words. 6. Do not choose a passage that is too technical or field specific for your reader to understand (Above all, you need to understand it well in the firt place).
