About the Book

Writing the Modern Research Paper is both a practical and contemporary guide to planning, researching, writing, and documenting the college research paper. Designed as a complete reference, this book offers a step-by-step guide to the research process. Original and realistic student examples throughout show various approaches to the methods of planning and researching. Both informative and argumentative purposes for doing research are covered. This contemporary book offers full coverage of computer research technologies, extensive attention to the prewriting and planning stages of the assignment, and pedagogy designed to encourage students to work collaboratively. There is also unparalleled coverage of the major disciplinary documentation forms — MLA, APA, CBE, and Chicago. The book also features examples from modern research sources (Citation Indexes, the Internet) not covered in other texts.
