Research Paper Outline
Draft of your research paper with several components. Include the following:
1. an outline of your research and the intended direction of your argument
2. at least five scholarly resources you have found from the CSU Online Library that contribute to your topic
3. a brief annotated bibliography of two scholarly resources
4. an abstract outlining your topic and your subsequent findings
This research draft should be double spaced with Times New Roman 12 point font, and use appropriate APA style writing.
While there is no minimum requirement for your draft, you should be thorough in your research so your professor (or a colleague) could adequately determine your intended research and the direction you are going with your paper.
