1. Abstract or Summary
 The abstract or summary tells the reader
very briefly what the main points and findings
of the paper are.
 This allows the reader to decide whether the
paper is useful to them.
 Get into the habit of reading only abstracts
while searching for papers that are relevant
to your research.
 Read the body of a paper only when you think
it will be useful to you.

2. Introduction
 Introduction tells the reader what the topic
of the paper is in general terms, why the
topic is important, and what to expect in the
paper.
 Introductions should funnel from general
ideas to the specific topic of the paper.
 Introductions are sometimes folded into
literature reviews.

3.Review of Literature
 A literature review should shape the way
readers think about a topic, it educates
readers about what the community of
scholars says about a topic and its
surrounding issues.
 Often what students call a “research paper”
is merely a review of literature.
 Along the way it states facts and ideas about
the social world and supports those facts and
ideas with credit for where they came from.
 The literature review has its own voice. The
sources of information are not extensively
quoted or “copied and pasted.”

6.Conclusions and Discussion
 You should summarize the most salient points
of your research (tell the reader what you
found out about your topic).

and findings.
 You should discuss the shortcomings of your
study and what implications these have for
your findings.
 Discuss things future researchers should
investigate about your topic.

7. References
 The references are just as important as any
other part of your paper.
 They are the link to the community of scholars
that will permit your reader to assess the
worthiness of the claims you make in your
paper.
 References also make the research process
much more efficient because they make it very
easy to look up sources of facts and ideas.
