Writing a Research Paper
Final Copy
Final Copy
There should be no corrections on your final copy.
Your instructor will inform you of the format that he/she requires for your final
copy. However, the research paper will usually have these components:
- a cover page (indicating the educational institution, the course, your name, and
the date submitted),
- a title page (indicating the title of your research paper)
- the research paper with footnotes or endnotes
- a bibliography
Make sure that there is sufficient blank space on the last page for the instructor
to write comments. Include an additional blank page if necessary.
