Don't!! Your teaching will find out that it's fake, there not stupid. Just do the work and find the real sources

An Abstract is a summary of all the findings so if you are writing an essay it is a summary of your essay. This summary should include the findings in you essay, describe the topic and you should also show how you found these results/ facts. An Abstract needs to be very concise.

depending on your topic, for any paper you will want to use the classic INTRO/BODY/CONCLUSION... but this expanded version has helped me as I have written papers in college and masters work:\n\nI. Intro your topic. Finish with the 3-5 points of your body (in other words introduce your body's outline)\nII. Body\n  A. Interesting fact #1 + Illustration, research practical applications, etc.\n\n  B. Interesting fact #2 + Illustration, research practical applications, statistics, etc.\n\n  C. Interesting fact #3 + Illustration, research practical applications, etc.\n\nIII. Conclusion (Know where/how to land the paper! ususally you do this first)\n\nSometimes you finish with the final question answered, thought finished, application you liked the most, etc. If you need more help, just respond back...\n\n\nHope this helps...

This is a tough question to answer. Are you writing a paper for high school or college?  Are you asking so that you can maximize your grade or simply because you're dissatisfied with an assignment and wished you could understand its usefulness?\n\nIf you're writing a paper for college, I would suggest that a research paper is supposed to help you synthesize what you've learned, while simultaneously giving you the chance to argue for against some point.  It's most likely intended, in other words, to be argumentative in nature.\n\nIt's always important to ask your professor (or teacher) this question.  You need to understand what they're hoping for so that you can fulfill the assignment.\n\nFrom a general perspective, research papers are another chance to practice the craft of writing and to prepare for a productive career.\n\nGood luck!

well, it totally depends on the person, but i'd say anywhere from 1-6 hours. I actually JUST finished reading a research paper that was 12 pages long and it probably took me about 1.5 hours to read. However, if I needed to summarize it and really comprehend everythign that I just read, I'd definitely have to read it again....if I did have to do this, I would write notes on a separate piece of paper (the margin could work too, but I would prefer a separate piece of paper...it would work better for me), writing down the main points of the article. Then, I would read all of the main points I wrote down, and only THEN begin to write my summary. This could be quite a lengthy process.

A proposal should idealy cover the outline of the report and the following:\n\nIdentification of problem or case under discussion\nMethodology of research\nAnalysis of results\nproposed solution and/or conclusion

I would not recommend incorporating humor in a RESEARCH paper. A research paper should be strickly data derived from various sources to cover a specific topic. It should be seriously written- it is not an opinion or reflection paper. Just my 2 cents....

A literature review discusses published information in a particular subject area, and sometimes information in a particular subject area within a certain time period. \n\nA literature review can be just a simple summary of the sources, but it usually has an organizational pattern and combines both summary and synthesis. A summary is a recap of the important information of the source, but a synthesis is a re-organization, or a reshuffling, of that information. It might give a new interpretation of old material or combine new with old interpretations. Or it might trace the intellectual progression of the field, including major debates. And depending on the situation, the literature review may evaluate the sources and advise the reader on the most pertinent or relevant.\n\n\nWhile the main focus of an academic research paper is to support your own argument, the focus of a literature review is to summarize and synthesize the arguments and ideas of others. The academic research paper also covers a range of sources, but it is usually a select number of sources, because the emphasis is on the argument. Likewise, a literature review can also have an "argument," but it is not as important as covering a number of sources. In short, an academic research paper and a literature review contain some of the same elements. In fact, many academic research papers will contain a literature review section. But it is the aspect of the study (the argument or the sources) that is emphasized that determines what type of document it is. \n\nClarify\nIf your assignment is not very specific, seek clarification from your instructor:\n\nRoughly how many sources should you include? \nWhat types of sources (books, journal articles, websites)? \nShould you summarize, synthesize, or critique your sources by discussing a common theme or issue? \nShould you evaluate your sources? \nShould you provide subheadings and other background information, such as definitions and/or a history?

You need an introduction, a hypothesis, materials and methods, results, and conclusions which include modifications of hypotheses.

The purpose of research is to find out more info about a certain topic. Good research is info that gives a credible source, can be checked, and has been reviewed. The best research comes from books.

A body of practices, procedures, and rules used by those who work in a discipline or engage in an inquiry; a set of working methods..\nFor reaserch paper... think about what will you do if you are going for research of something... and just write them down one by one steps.. i think if you could give me points may be i could set'em up for you.. but i think youcan do that... good luck

Follow the Scientific Method is a big thing.. a good conclusion and Hypothesis is what most people are looking for. \nbut it really depends on what type of research paper you are doing.\nSome good key points you should have:\n-A clearly stated thesis\n-2-3 claims that are backed up in your body paragraphs\n-A good amount of facts that is used to effectively back up your claims\n-An thorough, systematic analysis of these facts in relation to your claims\n-A well-written conclusion and introduction.\n-Introduction should draw in reader\n-Bibliography\n-Citations\n\nA good website to visit is: www.ipl.org/div/aplus

You said research paper, so basically an essay.  Yea, the introduction, body/bulk, conclusion is the general outline but u left something out.  After the introduction, there's the main argument (your point of view), your reasons to support it (the proof), then there's the counter-argument (anything you can think of to argue against your topic), the counter-argument's reasons/proofs, and finally your conclusion (which supports your main argument and defies the counter-argument).

A concept paper, as I understand, is a bird's eye view about a topic or issue. Normally, this is required to be sent to an organisaation which would decide whether to support the issue mentioned in the concept paper.\n\nit will have preferrably a definition of the issue, its causes, its consequences and the proposed action.\n\nit could be also understood as given an explanation to a generally unfamiliar situation or issue or concept, which is known to you.
