Parts of a Research Paper

There is no one right style or manner for writing an education paper. Content aside, the writing style and presentation of papers in different  fields vary greatly. Nevertheless, certain parts are common to most papers, below are outlined the 7 most common parts. Links are provided to more information about each section.

After spending a great deal of time and energy introducing and arguing the points in the main body of the paper, the conclusion brings everything together and underscores what it all means. A stimulating and informative conclusion leaves the reader informed and well-satisfied.

This link will take you to the Library's citation tools page. The key resources include: Ebsco's citation generator (part of  GSC's Discovery Service), the citation generator from UNC's Library, and the OWL APA Resources page.

Appendices Research papers often contain one or more appendices. An appendix contains material that is appropriate for enlarging the reader's understanding, but that does not fit very well into the main body of the paper. Such material might include tables, charts, summaries, questionnaires, interview questions, lengthy statistics, maps, pictures, photographs, lists of terms, glossaries, survey instruments, letters, copies of historical documents, and many other types of supplementary material. A paper may have several appendices. They are usually designated by such headings as Appendix A, Appendix B, etc.
