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.

Sample cover page

Note: The information for the cover page is centered on the page.

Sample title page

Note: The title is centered on the page. For more information on writing a title for your research paper, see Writing a Title
