It would take many many pages to fully describe how but below are some ideas:\n\noutline the logical steps to writing a good research paper. To achieve supreme excellence or perfection in anything you do, you need more than just the knowledge. Like the Olympic athlete aiming for the gold medal, you must have a positive attitude and the belief that you have the ability to achieve it. That is the real start to writing an A+ research paper.\n\nCONTENTS:\nSTEP 1. CHOOSE A TOPIC\nSTEP 2. FIND INFORMATION\nSTEP 3. STATE YOUR THESIS\nSTEP 4. MAKE A TENTATIVE OUTLINE\nSTEP 5. ORGANIZE YOUR NOTES\nSTEP 6. WRITE YOUR FIRST DRAFT\nSTEP 7. REVISE YOUR OUTLINE AND DRAFT\n              Checklist One   Checklist Two\nSTEP 8. TYPE FINAL PAPER\n\n\nSTEP 1. CHOOSE A TOPIC\nChoose a topic which interests and challenges you. Your attitude towards the topic may well determine the amount of effort and enthusiasm you put into your research.\n\nFocus on a limited aspect, e.g. narrow it down from "Religion" to "World Religion" to "Buddhism". Obtain teacher approval for your topic before embarking on a full-scale research. If you are uncertain as to what is expected of you in completing the assignment or project, re-read your assignment sheet carefully or ASK your teacher.\n\nSelect a subject you can manage. Avoid subjects that are too technical, learned, or specialized. Avoid topics that have only a very narrow range of source materials.\n\nSTEP 2. FIND INFORMATION\nSurf the Net.\n\nFor general or background information, check out useful URLs, general information online, almanacs or encyclopedias online such as Britannica, or Encarta, etc. Use Search Engines and other search tools as a starting point.\n\nPay attention to domain name extensions, e.g., .edu (educational institution), .gov (government), or .org (non-profit organization). These sites represent institutions and tend to be more reliable, but be watchful of possible political bias in some government sites. Be selective of .com (commercial) sites. Many .com sites are excellent; however, a large number of them contain advertisements for products and nothing else. Be wary of the millions of personal home pages on the Net. The quality of these personal homepages vary greatly. Learning how to evaluate Web sites critically and to search effectively on the Internet can help you eliminate irrelevant sites and waste less of your time.\n\nThe recent arrival of a variety of domain name extensions such as .biz (commercial businesses), .pro, .info (info on products / organizations), .name, .ws (WebSite), .cc (Cocos Island) or .sh (St. Helena) or .tv (Tuvalu) may create some confusion as you would not be able to tell whether a .cc or .sh or .tv site is in reality a .com, a .edu, a .gov, a .net, or a .org site. Many of the new extensions have no registration restrictions and are available to anyone who wishes to register a distinct domain name that has not already been taken. For instance, if Books.com is unavailable, you can register as Books.ws or Books.info via a service agent such as Register.com.\n\nTo find books in the Library use the OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog).\n\nCheck out other print materials available in the Library:\n\n    • Almanacs, Atlases, AV Catalogs\n    • Encyclopedias and Dictionaries\n    • Government Publications, Guides, Reports\n    • Magazines, Newspapers\n    • Vertical Files\n    • Yellow Pages, Zip or Postal Code and Telephone Directories\n\nCheck out online resources, Web based information services, or special resource materials on CDs:\n\n    • Online reference materials (including databases, e.g. SIRS, ProQuest, eLibrary, etc.)\n    • Wall Street Executive Library\n    • Index to Periodicals and Newspapers (e.g. MagPortal.com, OnlineNewspapers.com, etc.)\n    • Answers.com - an online dictionary and encyclopedia all-in-one resource that you can install\n      on your computer free of charge and find One-Click Answers

Good research which can survive the scrutiny of knowledgeable peers should be published. Why the scrutiny? SO that we do not get bogged down in mountains of poorly designed experiments, questionable data and misguided conclusions.  Of course, there is the chance that the reviewing peers may be personally overly critical of the work of a commpeting colleague, but good research will still win through. I, myself, had a reviewer sit on one of my manuscripts for 6 months until I compained to the publisher that unless a response came soon I would go to another peer-reviewed journal. Do not feel that the critical review is a personal attack. It is just how we keep the structure and integrity of science intact.

Watch, listen and be prepared to learn from others. A good scientist (much like a good person) will always be willing to accept new ideas and beliefs as fact until they can prove otherwise.\n\nNever let personal agendas or beliefs get in the way of your work.\n\nAlways be prepared to put your hand up and admit you were wrong. Then go and work out why you were wrong, if you're still convinced that you're right say so and be prepared to back up what you say.\n\nIn summary - courage, humility and a strong sense of self belief.\n\nBTW I'm a scientist ;D

actually most of us answering questions here on yahoo could be described as researchers. a lot of what we reply to is from our own knowledge, but a lot involves looking into resources to gather information, too. that's what a researcher does. she is curious, determined, thoughtful, and persistent. she sorts out the good info from the bad and documents her sources. literally, she "searches again."\n\nwhy do you want to know?

ENTREPRENEURIAL CHARACTERISTICS\nA series of interviews were conducted with distinguished entrepreneurs. They were asked what characteristics they felt were essential to success as an entrepreneur. Good health was a characteristic mentioned by every entrepreneur interviewed. Entrepreneurs are physically resilient and in good health. They can work for extended periods of time, and while they are in the process of building their business, they refuse to get sick. \n\nIn small businesses, where there is no depth of management, the leader must be there. You may not be able to afford a support staff to cover all business functions, and therefore you will need to work long hours. We all know people who use part of their sick leave each year when they are not sick. Entrepreneurs are not found in this group. At the end of the eight-hour day, when everyone else leaves for home, the entrepreneur will often continue to work into the evening, developing new business ideas. \n\nSelf-Control\nEntrepreneurs do not function well in structured organizations and do not like someone having authority over them. Most believe they can do the job better than anyone else and will strive for maximum responsibility and accountability. They enjoy creating business strategies and thrive on the process of achieving their goals. Once they achieve a goal, they quickly replace it with a greater goal. They strive to exert whatever influence they can over future events. \n\nIn large, structured organizations, entrepreneurs are easy to recognize by the statements they make: "If they wanted that job done right, they should have given it to me." A dominant characteristic of entrepreneurs is their belief that they are smarter than their peers and superiors. They have a compelling need to do their own thing in their own way. They need the freedom to choose and to act according to their own perception of what actions will result in success. \n\nSelf-Confidence\nEntrepreneurs are self-confident when they are in control of what they're doing and working alone. They tackle problems immediately with confidence and are persistent in their pursuit of their objectives. Most are at their best in the face of adversity, since they thrive on their own self-confidence. \n\nSense of Urgency\nEntrepreneurs have a never-ending sense of urgency to develop their ideas. Inactivity makes them impatient, tense, and uneasy. They thrive on activity and are not likely to be found sitting on a bank fishing unless the fish are biting. When they are in the entrepreneurial mode, they are more likely to be found getting things done instead of fishing. \n\nEntrepreneurs prefer individual sports, such as golf, skiing, or tennis, over team sports. They prefer games in which their own brawn and brain directly influence the outcome and pace of the game. They have drive and high energy levels, they are achievement-oriented, and they are tireless in the pursuit of their goals. \n\nComprehensive Awareness\nSuccessful entrepreneurs can comprehend complex situations that may include planning, making strategic decisions, and working on multiple business ideas simultaneously. They are farsighted and aware of important details, and they will continuously review all possibilities to achieve their business objectives. At the same time, they devote their energy to completing the tasks immediately before them. \n\nAccounting reports illustrate this characteristic. Accountants spend hours balancing the accounts and closing them out. For them, the achievement is to have balanced books. The entrepreneur only wants to know the magnitude of the numbers and their significance for the operation of the business. \n\nRealism\nEntrepreneurs accept things as they are and deal with them accordingly. They may or may not be idealistic, but they are seldom unrealistic. They will change their direction when they see that change will improve their prospects for achieving their goals. They want to know the status
