First Draft—General Information

Getting started on your research paper may be difficult, but it is important to begin as soon as possible.  Do not put too much pressure on yourself to be perfect.  Schedule regular times to write and hold yourself to writing during these times.

The purpose of your first draft is to write the Introduction section of your research paper, and provide an outline for the remainder of the paper. Please remember that all content in your paper should either be in your own words (preferred) or in quotation marks with page numbers provided.  Keeping plagiarism out of your first draft is an important step in keeping it out of your final research paper.

Format of First Draft (+ Tips)

·  Include Title Page, Introduction, detailed Outline, and References.

·  Write 5-7 pages (of text), which is about 1800 words, and include 5-7 sources.

·  Follow APA Style and avoid ALL forms of Plagiarism.

·  Follow these First Draft Guidelines carefully.

Content of First Draft (Title Page, Introduction, Detailed Outline, and References)

See APA manual for formatting your Title Page and References section.  Guidance on the other sections of the draft follows.

·  In your Introduction, do the following: 

a)  Introduce your general topic and the social problem you plan to address;

b)  Describe why this is an important topic/problem to address (provide relevant statistics as necessary);

c)  Define technical, topic-relevant terms as necessary;

d)  Specify at least two sub-disciplines of psychology that you have selected to inform your project and why these sub-disciplines, in particular, will be useful;

e)  Describe the historical roots of your selected topic as far back in psychology as possible (be sure to identify relevant schools of thought, theorists, and theories);

f)  Describe the overall purpose of your research paper (in doing so, specify whether you plan to propose an evidence-based social program or an applied research project);

g)  Describe the main goals of your evidence-based social program or applied research project (it is not necessary to include the specifics of your program/research project here); and

h)  Provide a road map for what will be included in the rest of the paper.

·  In the Detailed Outline section of your first draft, you should briefly list what you intend to cover in the remainder of your research paper after the Introduction. As your paper is a work-in-progress, it is understood that your outline may change over time as you learn more about your topic.  It is also understood that your outline will become more detailed over time.  In your outline, map out the overarching structure of your research paper in as much detail as is possible at this point. This should follow on directly from the Introduction.  Below you will find a template outline.
