The Research Paper identifies a coherent research question within a defined subject, forwards a thesis that answers it, outlines the study's method, and provides associated results and discussion. It will draw upon the project tasks you previously have undertaken (Preliminary Research, Literature Review, and Method Design).

Your Research Paper should include at least four scholarly sources. (Additional sources, including popular ones, may be appropriate, but at least four scholarly sources are required.) The body text should be approximately 2,000 words (plus additional bibliographical content) and reflect the citation system of a publication venue you choose. Your Research Paper should include the following elements in IMRaD sequence:

  1. Introduction: Orients your reader to the subject, acknowledges relevant literature to identify a knowledge gap, identifies the research question that the paper investigates, and forwards the thesis that provides a response to it (your Preliminary Research and Literature Review will help you with this section)
  2. Methods: Articulates the processes the study went through to answer its research question, attending to both practical and theoretical issues (your Method Design will help you with this section)
  3. Results: Presents the outcome of applying your methods to your research question
  4. Discussion: Interprets what the results reveal and discusses how the findings contribute to the subject's research discourse
  5. Conclusion: Recaps findings, identifies the current study's limitations, and outlines where future research could go from here

The Research Paper will be uploaded as a file. You should use existing authentic examples of academic scholarship as models, such as those you have identified in your Literature Review. The examples from previous students below also may be helpful.
