Body of paper: Present information clearly & logically & in your own words & style. Do not quote, copy, or simply paraphrase sentences from your sources (5 or more - at least 2 pubmed and 1 .gov website) Clearly indicate which reference you used when you present information in appropriate citation format (please see below and sample research paper). Use the author (or organization)-year method:
Utvich (2015) found that a certain type of epilepsy was related to a gene dubbed E4S7. Type-2 diabetes occurs at a lower BMI (Body Mass Index) among Chinese (Luong 2014).
African-Americans have a lower incidence of osteoporosis compared to Whites (CDC 2015).
Integrate the information, rather than serially presenting info from each of your references. The info should be substantive. Depending on your topic: Explain what's known about the causes. For diseases, are there genetic causes or susceptibilities; are they affected by lifestyle (e.g., diet, exercise, smoking)? Are there societal or ethical issues (e.g., discrimination, animal rights)?
Your paper should not be technical. Write it as if telling your classmates what you learned. Write multiple drafts, exceeding the word count at first, allowing you to edit & make the paper more clear & concise & grammatically correct. Allow time to polish & proofread. If needed, get help from the Writing Center.
