Writing Research Papers: A Guide to the ProcessWriting Research PapersUpplaga 6

- A clear, straightforward step-by-step approach. By presenting the research process as a series of simple, manageable steps, and thoroughly discussing each one, Writing Research Papers makes the process -- from finding a topic to searching the Web to formatting the final manuscript -- more comprehensible and less intimidating for students. - Frequent and substantial student examples. Four sample student papers are annotated to show both rhetorical features and the use of various documentation styles, including the latest MLA and APA guidelines for citing electronic sources. (Three of the papers now include Web sources.) The authors refer to these papers -- and to the student writers' experiences in working on them -- throughout the book, to provide concrete illustrations of various points in the process. - New features for faster reference. A new organization with shorter chapters, color tabs for each part and each major documentation system, tables of contents inside the front and back covers, and more bulleted and numbered lists help students find major sections of the book and key reference information faster.
