A research paper is a piece of academic writing based on its author’s original research on a particular
topic and analysis together with interpretation of research findings. To conduct proper research, one needs to
realize that conducting research cannot be done in a haphazard manner. To organize or focus the search, the
process needs to be keyword driven; what you retrieve from a search will be dependent upon the computations
you put on the search field. To research effectively, we must plan our project in advance so we can make the most
efficient use of our time and resources. Effective research is as much about planning as it is about the research
itself. Analyze our sources carefully and cite them properly in our final report.
