WRITING THE RESEARCH PAPER (STEP BY STEP):
1) APA title page with appropriate running head.
2) The page after your title page is the abstract which is a very short summary of your paper.
3) Introduction to the topic of interest, with a direct statement of why this is an important topic Give an example of how the interplay between nature AND nurture are important in understanding your topic.
4) This next section (with several subsections) should follow logically from your introduction. You will need to acquire and review 3 journal articles!!! This will be the heart of your paper as it covers a review of relevant scholarship – your journal articles. Completely cover one journal article before going to the next but understand that the format used in covering all 3 articles will be the same. Make sure that you use PROPER APA IN-TEXT CITATIONS
a) Summaries of your articles should each include the TYPE OF RESEARCH BEING CONDUCTED (longitudinal, cross-sectional, correlation, case study, experiment mandatory for at least one of your articles), etc.). Although you will not entirely understand the statistics in the results section of your articles, this section will reveal the type of research design that was used through how results were analyzed (experiment, observations, correlation…etc.) Be aware there may be multiple experiments in one paper and just focus on the one that most closely pertains to your topic.
b) Summaries should each include a specific hypothesis (hypotheses) and objectives, as well as theories or other means used to derive hypotheses (again focus on the hypothesis that most directly relates to your topic of interest).
c) Sampling method for garnering participants for the study (how did they get people to participate). Also, all relevant participant characteristics including any restrictions based on demographic variables (eligibility and exclusion criteria).
d) Procedures for how the authors conducted the research are now presented. This will be very detailed within the article so it is your job to reduce this to a coherent summary, while simultaneously conveying a solid understanding of the overall procedure(s).
e) Conclude by discussing the major findings of the research that directly applies to your topic of interest. What did they find? What didn’t they find (often equally important)? How does this study help us in understanding and application in regards to your topic of interest? Limitations of the study and future recommendations for expanding the study will be noted in the discussion section of the journal articles but ignore these…for right now.
After you have followed the above criteria for summarizing ALL 3 JOURNAL ARTICLES –
Integrate the findings from all three – giving the reader an understanding of how these three articles have enlarged your understanding concerning your topic of interest.
Next, propose a study that YOU would like to conduct (now is a good time to review limitations and future recommendations in the discussion sections of your studies). Again, your study recommendation should flow logically from the limitations and unanswered questions in the literature that you have reviewed. The proposal will conclude your research paper (although last page is APA formatted references).
