The 5 Parts of a Research
Paper
A
properly done research paper has 5 distinct parts, each of which has a distinct
function. Each part begins at the top of a new page (in longer papers the title
of each part appears in the middle of an otherwise blank page).
These
5 parts are:
I. Thesis
Statement (question), which in 1 sentence tells your reader the purpose of
the paper.
Included under this division, you provide
your background and precedentswhat led you to this particular treatment of
this particular question.
Also included are your definitions
of termsyour research is held accountable only to your definitions.
Neutralizing you biases. To begin a
research paper, you must neutralize your biases. To accomplish this, the
following 2 questions must be answered: (1) What data set (set of facts) would
I need that would cause me to change my mind; and (2) Does that data set (set
of facts) exist?
II. Literature
Review, in which you identify the pertinent literature in the field
concerning your topic. This includes: book title, author, and his/her main
argument(s). This is to show that your research question is adding something
new and significant to the current literature in the field, and that you have been
diligent to neutralize your biases.
III. Data,
which is the neutral presentation of the facts, not opinions or anecdotes,
which you have collected including supporting and opposing facts for your
thesis.
IV. Analysis.
No analysis is to appear anywhere else in the paper. This is where you compare
fact with fact (again, not opinions or anecdotes) in an orderly fashion.
Pro Con
Fact Fact
Fact Fact
Fact Fact
Etc.
V. Findings
and/or Conclusions, which are the obvious conclusions drawn from your
analysis. This is where you prove or disprove your thesis statementnot where
you continue your analysis.
This outline can be
accomplished in 5 sentences, 5 paragraphs, 5 pages, or 5 chapters if each point
is done properly.
