That said, a few tips: Do not use “I” in a research paper. Your project is about your research, not you. Do not state opinions or try to “fix” something. Simply, tell the reader what the research says, and answer the question “So what?”–what conclusion should your audience draw, based on your research?
Length: 4-7 page body (title page, abstract, references, graphs, etc. do not count), which is a 6 page minimum if you count the separate Title and References pages.
