APA= 1 inch margins all around, typed, double spaced, with citations and references. You can go to www.apastyle.com to get the details ( I have a longman's handbook, but I don't think I can loan it to you) You can try www.ezpaper.com, you can download help from there, and maybe even a sample paper. \n\nAlso, try perdue college's website. There is a bunch of info there.

A bit vague, so here is all that I have.\n\nLinks for writing a scientific paper\n\nhttp://www.liu.edu/cwis/cwp/library/workshop/citation.htm\n\nThe APA Wizard is designed to help you create an APA (5th ed.) citation.  It will take you through the steps for the most common types of cited works providing you with assistance on how to input specific information.  As long as you enter the information correctly, the Wizard will result in a correct APA citation.\n\nhttp://www.stylewizard.com/\n\nhttp://www.apa.org/\n\nhttp://www.liu.edu/CWIS/CWP/library/workshop/citapa.htm\n\nhttp://www.psywww.com/resource/APA%20Research%20Style%20Crib%20Sheet.htm#Pages\n\nhttp://www.apastyle.org/elecref.html\n\nhttp://www.apastyle.org/previoustips.html\n\nhttp://www.indiana.edu/%7elibugls/Publications/APA.html\n\nhttp://www.apastyle.org/elecref.html\n\nhttp://www.aug.edu/writing_center/docs/apachecklist.htm\n\nhttp://www.citationmachine.net/index.php?new_style=2#here\n\nhttp://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/\n\nhttp://www.lib.wsc.ma.edu/citation.htm\n\nhttp://www.st.ewi.tudelft.nl/~mathijs/writinglinks.html\n\nhttp://chronicle.com/jobs/99/11/99111902c.htm\n\nCitation Style for Research Papers\n\nhttp://www.liu.edu/CWIS/CWP/library/workshop/citation.htm\n\nCiting Sources \n\nCiting  ppl. noting the source of a quote, paraphrase, or idea as an authority or proof.\n\nCiting is the process of giving credit to the sources you used to write your paper. Citations can be located in the text or at the end of the work in a bibliography. It can be difficult to figure out what needs to be credited. \n\nUse this rule of thumb: If you knew a piece of information before you started doing research, generally you do not need to credit it. You also do not need to cite well-known facts, such as dates, which can be found in many encyclopedias. All other information such as quotations, statistics, and ideas should always be cited in your papers. \n\nhttp://www.liu.edu/CWIS/CWP/library/workbook/evaluate.htm#citing\n\nCitation Style for Research Papers\n\nAPA    Turabian    MLA    Chicago    AMA \n\nhttp://www.lib.wsc.ma.edu/citation.htm\n\nhttp://www.leeogle.org/byron/bhs/library/citing.htm\n\nhttp://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/01/\n\nhttp://www.liu.edu/cwis/cwp/library/workshop/citation.htm\n\nhttp://www.citationmachine.net/\n\nhttp://www.unc.edu/depts/wcweb/handouts/mla.html\n\nhttp://www-navigator.utah.edu/module3/mla.htm\n\nhttp://www.bedfordstmartins.com/online/cite5.html\n\nhttp://www.library.cornell.edu/newhelp/res_strategy/citing/mla.html\n\nGood luck\n\nKevin, Liverpool, England.

Well, from my experience I would probably research the necessary information, organize it and write an outline. Oh, and create an organized time schedule, do not procastinate. I have had bad experiences with procastinating, it sucks!

Try saving the file as a PDF. You may then be able to open it up in v10 in that format. If that doesn't work, try changing the PDF extension to AI and then open it. I know you can change the PDF extension of files saved in v9 to AI and open it without much problem.\n\nYou may even want to try saving the file in the EPS format.\n\nI believe you can also expand all of the objects in the file using Object > Expand or Object > Expand Appearance. This will convert text to outlines. Then save the file and open in Illustrator 10.\n\nMore folks at the Adobe Forums (http://www.adobeforums.com) would have more insight on this issue though.

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...

For any paper, here's a few good fool-proof tips. \n\nFirst of all, no whether you enjoy outlines or not, make one, and  you can't fail. Just think about what "social" or "cultural" effects your family, culture, or even home town have on you, and seperate those effects into what will later be as many body paragraphs as you want. \n\nSecond, somewhere in your introduction you need a sentence that states your number one main point in the whole paper. This should include a "what" and a "why". For example: My mother taught me to be an independent latina by raising me alone in a strange city when she moved to Chicago from Spain.\n\nNext, each paragraph has a topic sentence, which includes one of the "effects", and this topic sentence should relate to or prove the main sentence in the introduction paragraph. \n\nAdditionally, any following sentence should relate to your topic sentence, and should go in the order of fact, and then afterthought. \n\nIn the conclusion, keep it light and simple, and just quickly wrap things up. \n\nOfcourse we've all learned these things in elementary school, but when you lay it out like this in a formulaic type of way, it all just sort of seems to flow. Take it easy, and stay on topic. And more importantly, whatever class this paper is for, include as many vocab words relating to it as possible. \n\nThis formula on its own can get you a B. With a little hard work, you got your self an A. Good Luck!!

Most of my professors require the following information centered in the top half of the page:\n\nTitle of Paper\nYour Name\nThe name of the university/college\nThe Professor's Name\nDate the Paper is due\n\nSome proffesors also require a "Running head" across the top of the page, this should be an abbreviated version of your title, it should be in all caps (except for the words "Running Head), and it should be left justified.\n\nYou can also check out the APA guidelines for writing a title page online, the website is www.apastyle.net, as those are the guidelines followed by professionals.\n\nI hope this helps! Good luck with your paper!

i think the best format would be in five paragraph essay form. \n1st paragraph: introduction to the paper and three main points about the topic\n2nd paragraph: choose one of the main points and write about it in a paragraph\n3rd paragraph: choose a second main point and write a bout it in paragraph form\n4th paragraph: write a paragraph about the last main point\n5th paragraph: conclusion. restate what you said in the introducton and touch upon key facts. \n\ni hope that helped. it should come out to be 2-3 pages depending on your fontsize,spacing,paragraph length etc.

I am attaching a link to an essay writing  tutorial to help you.  <click the below link>\n\nHave you ever heard of Brainstorming.  It is a technique to get most of your ideas about your subject on paper.\n\nChoose your subject.\nBrain storm.\nThen determine how detailed your paper will be.\nThen take each one of your brain storm ideas and make a paragraph about them.\n\nEvery Paper has \n\n1. a title, \n2. an Intro paragraph intrucing the subject\n3  at least 2-3 body paragraphs describing the subject &\n4. a summary paragraph \n\nSome tips are to: \n• Write in a Clear Style \n \n• Use active verbs \n \n• Keep your sentence length under control \n \n• Use simple words  \n \n• Avoid jargon \n \n• Avoid abstract terms \n \n• Keep abbreviations under control \n \n• Avoid Padding \n \n• Use topic sentences \n \n• Link your ideas and paragraphs \n \n• Use examples to explain difficult points \n \n• Use quotations in your writing \n\n\nYou will do just fine when you dou your best.

Ok, here it is. If you follow these guidelines, I guarantee you'll finish in no time, and learn a skill you'll need if you are even contemplating applying to Ph.D. programs. Trust me - I walk my Master's students through this every year.\n\nIt sounds like you already have a thesis statement, so we won't worry about that.  Your problem is you have a GIANT editor sitting on your shoulder, and this editor is keeping your writer from actually doing anything.  You need to lock this editor in a closet or something, and give your writer some freedom.  In order to get this editor off your back for a while, make him go on vacation, but promise him he can come back later and edit absolutely everything.  After he's been banished, you can actually start.\n\nFirst, outline each chapter.  Then make the outline more detailed by adding subheadings, and sub-subheadings. Then make the outline even more detailed, including notes TO YOURSELF noting where appropriate citations will be included. (An example might be: "Cite from Williams chapter 4 here." -or- "Chakravorty has a sweet illustration of this point.") And then once more.  Remember, This Outline Is Only For You.  No One Will Ever See It.\n\nThen, under each heading and subheading and sub-subheading, write a paragraph or two.  If you catch yourself editing any of the sentences in these paragraphs, STOP.  If you're writing on a computer, ditch the computer and handwrite each paragraph (or vice versa).  Scribble each sentence out quickly, but fully.  You're NOT allowed to edit.  Just keep writing.\n\nThis process will take a few days.  Let yourself look up quotations if you need to, but don't let any one search take more than 10 minutes.  Let me emphasize that: Books need to LEAVE YOUR HAND after 10 minutes. \n\nDon't let yourself go through this process completely in order.  Every day, find a section in your outline that you FEEL like working on.  Proceeding in a linear fashion will crush creative thought.  Don't let it happen.\n\nAfter you've finished this process, let yourself go back and elaborate on each section.  DON'T CUT ANYTHING, just add.\n\nAfter you've gone through this process, you should have your chapters just about finished, in terms of length.  NOW you can invite your editor back home, and let him go to work.\n\nBut there are two things left to do. Write your introduction and conclusion.  How?  In the same way.  Why did you save these for last?  Because your introduction and conclusion must encompass everything you just wrote, and you had no way of knowing what that would include until the chapters were finished.\n\nLet this process take two or two and a half months.  Then, call your giant editor back from vacation, and FINALLY, let him do his thing.\n\nI guarantee this will do it.  Best wishes to you!

Well, it's hard to do an outline without knowing your thesis and with material to work from. I know doing these things suck, and you don't want to, but trust me it's not that hard. Just see what you can easily prove or disprove for a thesis statement, and work your paper around that. \nThe number of sections/subsections is dependent on the length of your paper, as is the number of qoutes/references you need to include.\nBecause of all of the missing info, I can not do this for you, and you really need to learn how to do it yourself, anyway.
