These tips are intended as basic information to help you get started on your research paper. You may have other questions about selecting a topic, doing the research, taking notes, citing sources, writing the paper and preparing the final product. Be sure to talk with your teacher as soon as possible about your paper so that you understand what is expected. And if you do not already have one of the standard guides on writing, footnoting, and documenting, be sure to buy one.

Research papers are one of the most important and personally satisfying activities in a university education. We wish you the best of luck with your project.
