As you research, you should always track the bibliographic information of the sources from which you find information in a research journal.

You must paraphrase the information in each source that supports your thesis.

You must also select and record direct quotes from your sources that help to prove your thesis assertion.

This notation will help you to construct a rough draft of your paper and prevent you from losing source information.

You should have an information-rich research journal with plenty of evidence to construct a well-planned-out rough draft.

Now your research will evolve from raw ideas to a cohesive, structured, logical, formal paper whose sole purpose is to support and prove your thesis assertion.

In order to create a Final Draft of your paper, you must assess your work based on the criteria the assignment established for you.

Only after determining that your work supports your thesis, without digressing, and follows the structural requirements of your research style (MLA, APA, et al), may you finalize your paper.

Reflection and self-assessment are critical to paper writing success.
