    Writing your paper
    Stages of writing:
    Finding the appropriate material
    Reading material and note-taking
    Planning your essay / report / analysis
    Writing it
    Editing and Revising
    References and quotations
    Presentation of paper
    Step 1: Reviewing the published material
    You need to differentiate between good and bad sources of information
    Focus on material which is
    Current
    Relevant
    Reputable
    Factual
    Include academic studies [found in academic journals or research monographs]
    What is scientific research?
    Research published in academic journals is scientifically rigorous:
    Validity
    Reliability
    To publish in an good academic journal, a paper is subject to ‘peer review’:
    That is, reviewed by two or more experts in the area
    For us, an acceptable journal article is one that is subject to this peer review process
    See list in LMS Literature Review folder for a non-exhaustive list of acceptable journals
    Reliability and Validity on Target
    Where can I find scientific research?

    –Conduct searches of the Library’s:
    catalogue to find research monographs [books reporting academic research]
    electronic journal databases to find journal articles:
    –ABI Inform [Proquest]
    –Expanded Academic Search
    –Emerald
    –Use Google Scholar
    Tip: if you find a good article, look at its bibliography … it will point you to other studies.
    How many articles should I include?
    Tough question to answer.  Depends on:
    Relevance of the research identified to the question
    Quality of the articles used
    Breadth of arguments/ideas covered by the articles identified
    What kind of mark you want to get!
    Ten high quality, relevant sources would result in a ‘pass’ score on the research criteria
    Your research is very important – without a solid foundation of research, it will be hard to meet the other criteria
    It will take longer than you think ... START NOW!
    Step 2: Read the Literature
    Think about the following:
    Defining the key terms [from the essay question]
    What are the classical (seminal) works that everyone refers to?
    Are there conflicting ideas about the relationship between the concepts of your topic?
    What is the dominant view about the topic? 
    How do you know this is the prevailing view? 
    Does that minimise the views of others?
    Make notes from the articles:
    Don’t plagiarise
    Take down the publication details for your reference list
    Note which articles the author is citing – may lead you to other relevant articles
    Anatomy of a journal article
    Most journal articles will have the following:
    Abstract ü
    Introduction ü
    Literature Review ü
    Methodology ü
    Results ü
    Discussion ü
    Conclusion
    Bibliography ü
    Read with a purpose!
    Step 3: Planning your Review
    Organise ideas into categories
    Use mind maps to develop connections between ideas
    Think about how the ideas develop and connect
    Develop an argument or point of view
    Develop a ‘paragraph plan’
    Introduction
    Main body (many paragraphs)
    Conclusion
    Step 4: Write the Review
    Use the ‘paragraph plan’ you developed as a guide
    Try to stick to ‘one point per paragraph’
    Consistently ask yourself:
    Am I answering the question?
    Am I presenting the various views in the literature accurately and appropriately?
    Am I presenting the various arguments in the literature in a logical way?
    How is this paragraph relevant to the question?
    Am I writing these ideas in my own words and acknowledging the source?
    Step 5: Editing and Revising
    Read your work – ask the following:
    Have I answered the question?
    Have I discussed the different viewpoints?
    Is my argument clear?
    Does my paper have the appropriate structure?
    Check your spelling, punctuation and grammar
    If possible, ask someone (not a fellow student) to read over your paper – does it make sense to them?
    Step 6: Citations, quotes, references
    Ensure that you:
    Provide in-text citations wherever you have used the ideas of another (even when you have paraphrased)
    Make it clear to the reader if you have directly quoted from a source (word for word, by using ‘quotation marks’ and citing the page number)
    That you have the full citation of any in-text citations in the reference list
    Only works cited in-text should be listed in the reference list
    Where you have used quotes, make sure you provide the page numbers in the in-text citation.
    Refer to Havard Referencing style
    In-text citations
    Be consistent in your citation style


    Wherever you obtain an idea, fact or argument from a source, acknowledge it in text:
    Blyton (1999) argues that …….
    ………………. (Rimmer, 2000)
    Provide a list of the full citations of every source you have cited in text in the reference list
    Remember: style must be
    Logical, consistent and systematic
    Specific details can be found at http://www.lib.latrobe.edu.au/referencing-tool/

    Note: Reference list must be started on a new page

    Step 7: Presentation of paper
    Your paper should have the following characteristics:
    Be written in 12 point, in Arial font
    Paragraphs must be fully justified at both the left and right margin1.5 line spaced
    Reference list should start on a new page
    Any subheadings should be clearly defined (bold or underlined)
    Stapled in the top left-hand corner of the page
