Step 2: Do a preliminary research for data.Yes, we touched on this earlier. But let’s emphasize it. Ere starting your research in earnest, conduct a preliminary research to determine whether there is sufficient data out there for your demands and to set the context of your research. Look up your key aspects and keywords in the relevant titles in the Reference collection databases (such as Wikipedia and dictionaries) and in other sources such as our catalog of books, periodical databases, and Internet search engines.
Step 3: Allocate Resources. After determining the direction of your research. You should then start finding resource materials on your topic. There are a number of places you can look for data: If you are in search of relevant books, do a topic search in the Aleph Catalog. A Keyword search can be done if the topic search doesn’t yield sufficient data. Print or write down the citation information (author, title, etc.) and the location (call number and collection) of the item(s). Step 4: Appraise your Data sources.Your lecturer expects that you will present credible, accurate, and reliable data and you have every right to expect that the sources you use are presenting the same. This step is extraordinarily important when using Internet resources, many of which are viewed as less than credible. Step 5: Keep Notes During the process.While conducting your research it’s important to keep notes and specific findings that will help you when writing the research report or research paper. Refer to the resources you have chosen and note the information that will be useful in your paper. Step 6: Write the Research Paper. Start Off by organizing the data you have collected during the research process. First off write out a rough draft of the research paper.Here you will write out your raw ideas on paper in an incomplete form. This will help you organize your ideas and give a preliminary structure for the larger research paper. After this, you will revise the draft as many times as you deem necessary to develop a final outcome to submit your lecturer. Step 7: Cite your references properly. Citing and documenting your sources utilized in your research serves two purposes: it gives fitting credit to the authors of the resource materials utilized, and it allows those who are reading your work to reproduce your research and discover the sources that you have listed as references. The Harvard, MLA and the APA Styles are three most popular citation formats. Step 8: Edit and Proofread your research paper. This is the final step when writing a research paper and you will repeat this process several times. Well, that’s if you want to get a good score. I’ll assume you do. Editing is part of the revision process as well, but try not to get bogged down with correct spelling and sentence structure until the very end. The logic of your argument is more important than what comma goes where.
