Introduction and conclusion of Research Paper

Introduction

Now that you know accurately what you are about to introduce, you can write an introductory section to your paper. You can use introduction to do the following:

1. Point out the timeliness or values of your research.
2. Define an abstract or particular term used in your thesis.
3. Explain why you have chosen this particular aspect of your topic.
4. Inform your reader of the various aspects of your topic other than the one you have selected.
5. Give pertinent anecdote that gives a direct means of leading into your topic.
6. Summarize that how you have approached your topic.

Whatever your approach, your introduction should be pertinent; it should gain the immediate attention of your reader, and it should clarify your thesis in some way.


Conclusion

The conclusion of the research paper is the most important single part of it. All the material you have collected means nothing to your reader until you present the conclusion you have reached as a result of your research. Restate your thesis and explain what the material you have presented adds up to. Analyze and evaluate your most important points for your reader; also consider the consequences and general implications of them to your conclusion. Although no actual new information is generally introduced in the concluding paragraphs, the conclusion is the only "original" contribution you offer in your research paper. It manifests the importance of your research as well as your understanding of the material that you have presented. It should be a strong recapitulation of your main ideas.

Research Paper Format

Recommendations here are based on the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. It is important to note, however, that individual instructors and institutions or departments may vary from these recommendations somewhat and that it is always wise to consult with your instructor before formatting and submitting your work. Paper: Use white, twenty-pound, 81/2- by 11-inch paper. Erasable paper tends to smudge and should be avoided for a final draft. If you prefer to use erasable paper in the preparation of your paper, submit a good photocopy to your instructor. Margins: Except for page numbers (see below), leave one-inch margins all around the text of your paper -- left side, right side, and top and bottom. Paragraphs should be indented half an inch; set-off quotations should be indented an inch from the left margin (five spaces and ten spaces, respectively, on standard typewriters).

Tips for Writing Your Thesis Statement

Image
1. Determine what type of paper you are writing: An analytical paper breaks down an issue or an idea into its component parts, evaluates the issue or thought, and presents this breakdown and evaluation to the audience. Expository (explanatory) papers explain something to the audience. An argumentative paper makes a claim about a topic and justifies this claim with exact evidence. The claim could be an opinion, an evaluation, a policy proposal, a cause-and-effect statement, or an interpretation. The aim of the argumentative paper is to convince the audience that the claim is true based on the evidence provided. If you are writing a text which does not fall under these three categories (ex. a narrative), a thesis statement somewhere in the first paragraph could still be useful to your reader. 2.
