Well, we have reached the end of another semester and another school
year. I don't know about you, but at the end of every school year
(and this is the end of my 19th year in school counting kindergarten!)
I have the same conversation with people. This dialogue usually
begins something like this, "Can you believe the year is over--it went
by so fast!" You'd think we would have learned by now that things
seem to go by a whole lot faster in hindsight. On the other hand, in
the moment, we seem to dwell on the never ending assignments to
complete and studying required to get a decent grade in that
ridiculously difficult class. I remember in January, I was trying
balance classes, collecting data for my masters, practicum, a
part-time job, and fitting a work out here and there. At the time, I
felt stressed, sleep deprived, and as if I had no free time. Although
those feelings weren't completely subjective-- compared to some of my
friends, my life was pretty busy. Yet, here I am now writing about it
and thinking, maybe it wasn't all that bad. Either way, hindsight is
a funny thing that always should be taken with a grain of salt.

It was suggested that I write do series on how to write a research paper.  I will add a new step each week. Step 1: Choosing a Topic You cannot begin to write a research paper without a topic.  Choosing a topic may seem like a simple task, but it is sometimes a complicated process.  As undergraduates, you are typically assigned to write a review of the research in a particular area, such as psychological disorders or genetic diseases.  Pick something that interests you!  For some, writing papers is a tedious task.  Picking an enjoyable topic rather than choosing an easy topic, such as one in which you know a lot of information exists (e.g. a topic the media covers regularly) may make the process more interesting.   When you have no idea what topic to choose, talk to your professor/instructor or flip through your book to get an idea.  Once you have chosen a general area as your focus (it could be as general as "depression" or "Huntington's disease"), perform a G...

How to write a research paper: Step 2: Searching the literature The next step is gathering information. It helps to choose specific key words that directly relate to your topic.  These are the words you will use to search for in Google Scholar or whichever search engine/database you plan to use.  The IIT library website provides access to numerous databases in various subjects.  If you are unsure about which database is right for your research question, talk to your professor/instructor, a librarian, or one of the tutors at the ARC (they may have prior experience).  Choose keywords directly from your research question. Many search engines allow you to search multiple words at once. For instance, if my question was, what is the difference between depressive symptoms in Eastern versus Western cultures?, I may choose to enter, "depression," and "Eastern culture." Entering "depression" by itself would provide too many results.  Specificity is key; however, bei...
