The Research Paper: First Draft

;

Using the references you identified in the module 1, write a first draft of your paper in 2,500-3,000 words.

Include Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions, and References sections and headings.

Refer to one of the journal references you are using and copy its writing style/format rather than APA (You can also typically go to the journal’s home page and find links to their exact rules). Identify which journal format you are using on the title page.

This assignment uses a grading rubric. Instructors will be using the rubric to grade the assignment; therefore, students should review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment.
