    Writing a term paper requires extensive research, reading, and organization. It involves selecting an interesting topic, gathering information from various sources, and identifying an unsolved problem in the literature. The paper should include an introduction providing background on the problem, a body section presenting ideas and supporting evidence, and a discussion and conclusion that compares the presented ideas to other studies and suggests future directions. Proper citations and a standardized format for sections like the title, abstract, and references are also important.

    How to Write a Term Paper

    Writing term paper is not easy. It requires a lot of hard work, extensive reading and thinking. Below are some
    guidelines to help you to write a term paper.

    1) Identify an interesting topic: Select a topic that you are interested so that you will enjoy the process of
    term paper writing.

    2) Gather information: Take support of available sources of information such as internet, libraries, abstracts
    from PubMed and review articles. Read papers that are already written on a similar topic of your term paper
    so that you can formulate a direction.

    3) Recognize the problem(s): Identify the problem(s) that are still unsolved and unanswered. In your term
    paper, you should identify and list out the problem(s), give a literature review and an updated summary, give
    conclusion and recommendations by which the problem(s) can be solved. You should provide a
    comprehensive essay that demonstrates your understanding of the topic.

    4) Provide quotations: Provide references to support your ideas. Giving proper reference is important for
    term paper writing because without it readers will cast doubt on the accuracy of the information you provide
    and you will be blamed of plagiarism or academic dishonesty.

    5) General organization: The following sections should be included in your term paper.

    (a) Title: Give an informative and concise title.
    (b) Abstract: Give the objectives, your findings and the significance of your paper.
    (c) Introduction: Give background information and relate the problem(s) you found with the current
    information. Emphasize your contribution.
    (d) Main body: Present your ideas in a systematic and concise manner. When necessary, supply figures,
    diagrams and tables with legends.
    (e) Discussion and conclusion: Give a summary of your ideas, compare and contrast yours with that of
    other studies. Suggest future directions and provide thoughtful discussion about the implications of your
    suggestions.
    (f) References: Make sure you provide accurate citations with the following format. List references
    alphabetically.
