How to Write a Research Introduction

Things to remember:
  • Write out numbers consisting of one or two words (e.g. "fifty," or "two-hundred")
  • Punctuation inside quotation marks (i.e. "See you tomorrow," he said. Rather than "See you tomorrow", he said.)
  • Unless you're citing something. Then it's "...signed a treaty with the French" (Goodwin).
  • Don't begin your essay with a yes or no question like "Have you ever wondered what the most important Constitutional Amendment is?"
  • Capitalize constitutional amendments: First Amendment, etc.
  • Italicize book titles: History of the Conquest of Mexico
  • Put article titles in quotes: "How to Write a Research Introduction"
  • Combine sentences when possible: Rather than having a lot of short sentences, combine them with conjunctions to form compound or complex sentences. This makes your paper easier and more enjoyable to read.
