Q&A: Questions on research paper?
Question by : Questions on research paper?
I am writing a research paper for my class that I am in. It is not a english or writing class. I have not taken an English or writing class in over 10 years and I have forgotten much of the basics on writing papers. I have a some questions that I hope some of you could answer for me. I work in the field of which I am writing the paper on, is it ok to use my personal experiences in the research paper? Such as “I have come across many people that have done it this way”…etc. I am kinda stuck on how to get my paper going and what I need to keep it good. Besides my personal experiences in working in the field, most of my information would be from other resources. Is it ok to use alot of resources in your paper as long as they are acknowledged? I wasn’t sure if most of the paper could be resources with little tidbits of other stuff or what. I just need a little nudge in the direction that could help me in getting this paper going.

Absolutely use other sources and cite them properly.
You can put in your intro that you are familiar with the topic because you’ve been working in the field for 10 years or whatever. That will give you some credibility with editorial comments. By editorial comments I mean your opinion on the research. If, for example, some scholar says that a particular procedure should be followed in certain circumstances, you would mention that in your paper. But it would actually be pretty interesting if you add that in “real life” it doesn’t work that way. Your personal experiences could bring an added dimension to your research paper.
I have always been taught that one cites a source for everything in a research paper. So, other than your opinions and information of common knowledge, you should support your paper with references.
Good for you for going back to school.

Doing a research paper on Depression, need better resources?
Question by The Silent Ninja: Doing a research paper on Depression, need better resources?
I’m doing a paper on depression for one of my classes. We picked our own topics from our book. The guidelines for the paper are that the paper must be 5 pages long (no more, no less) and I must use 5 resources (either 5 hard copy publications or 3 hard copies and 2 internet resources). Also, we cannot use any resource that has a publication date of 2001 or earlier.
My problem is that all of the books I’ve found in my University’s library that are of proper publication date go WAY too in depth for a 5 page paper. Most of them focus on the different types of depression and look at depression from different stand points (such as from a medical view, what physically happens in your brain when you have depression, etc.).
Does anybody have any hard copy resources they recommend that gives a very general explanation on depression?
(read additional details below)
The basic points that I want to touch on with my paper are:
1. What is depression?
2. Who is affected by depression?
3. What are the symptoms of depression?
4. What can you do to treat depression?
Basically, I’m hitting the very tip of the iceberg.
Thanks in advance for your help!

look for journals and articles that your library subscribes to. I’ve done this for some of my own research and some of them are very interesting and most are good sources.
i think another thing that you should think about is narrowing down your topic from “depression” to something about depression.

social networking sites and blogs are great, but nothing compares to a pen and paper for unleashing those inner most thoughts.
"There I am in younger days, star gazing,
Painting picture perfect maps of how my life and love would be
Not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection
My compass, faith in love’s perfection
I missed ten million miles of road I should have seen" -Indigo Girls
