内容推荐

A research paper may be a term paper for a university course, a published article in a journal, and a thesis or a dissertation as a partial requirement for a university degree. It is usually a lengthy documented report that focuses upon an academic topic and it is intended to inform the audience in the relevant field about the research topic, purpose, methods, results (findings),conclusions, and recommendations.

A research paper expresses the author's understanding of the topic based on experiments, facts, data and analysis. It is objective rather than subjective although the author's personal values, insights, and experiences have a great influence on the whole process.

A research paper is usually made up of the following parts:

1. Title page

2. Acknowledgements (optional)

3. Outline (optional)

4. Abstract

5. The text of the paper (introduction, body, and conclusion)

6. Notes (optional)

7. Works Cited

8. Appendix (optional)

The Chinese undergraduate students who major in English are comparatively weak when undertaking academic research and writing. Some are virtually ignorant of the basic rules and standards of writing academic research papers. It is with this in mind that the authors venture to write this handbook to help Chinese students of English to familiarize themselves with the basic steps, skills and techniques in writing a research paper. Emphasis is placed on explaining the accepted practice in the MLA (Modern Language Association) style and on illustrating the formats of citation and documentation.More specifically, this handbook consists of the following parts:

Chapter I, Negotiating a Topic, introduces some of the most popular ways and techniques among the students to work out a topic.

Chapter II, Narrowing Down the Research Topic, elucidates frequently used techniques for narrowing down a research topic.

Chapter III, Taking Notes, explains ways to evaluate sources, to take notes and to write different types of notes. It also introduces academic ways to avoid plagiarism.

Chapter IV, Writing the Paper, expounds standard ways to write a thesis.statement, an outline, the introduction, the body and the conclusion.

Chapter V, Documenting Sources: In-text Citation and Content Notes,explains in detail how to use in-text citation and when and how to use content notes.

Chapter VI, Documenting Sources: Works Cited, expounds the MLA style for Works Cited.

Chapter VII, Writing Abstracts, Appendices and Acknowledgements,describes the elements in an abstract, appendix and acknowledgements.

Chapter VIII, Alternative Documentation Styles, introduces the Chicago style and the APA (American Psychological Association) style in documenting sources.

This handbook also includes some common abbreviations, abbreviations of literary works and a sample paper in the MLA style.

The book is the result of the authors' ten years of experience in teaching academic research and writing to undergraduates, postgraduates and MA students. It has been tried and repeatedly revised at the School of Foreign Languages at Southwest China Normal University, Henan Normal University,Shanxi Normal University, Guizhou Normal University, Ningbo University,Yunnan Educational College, Xiehang Teacher's College, South ChinaUniversity of Technology, and Shaoguan College.

It was the joint efforts of both the editor-in-chief and the authors that have brought about the publication of the book, but each individual was assigned with a specific chapter or chapters. More specifically, Liu Jianbo designed the framework, and wrote the Introduction, Chapters VI and VII,and the Appendices. He also designed the Index and wrote the sample research paper. Xiao Jinyin wrote Chapters IV and VIII, Chen Hong, Chapters I and II, Gao Xiaofang, Chapter III, and Huang Dongfang, Chapter V.

Readers are kindly reminded that, due to the length constraints, some typesets in this book (such as double space and indentation) are not strictly in accordance with the guidelines. We apologize for any inconveniences this may bring about.
