The research paper must be at least 3,500 words supported by evidence (citations from peer-reviewed sources). • A minimum of four (4) peer-reviewed journal citations are required. 1. Chapter 1 illustrates the document details of the research report and constitutes Background/Introduction, Problem Statement(s), Goal(s), Research Question(s), Relevance and Significance, Barriers and Issues related to topic chosen. 2. Chapter 2 should consist of student paraphrasing the cited research material (i.e. what happened in case study x). 3. Chapter 3 should be the reasoning for doing a basic compare/contrast or advantages/disadvantage of what was stated in Chapter 2 (do not state because the professor said so). 4. Chapter 4 is a complete analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of what was stated in chapter 2. In effect, chapter 3 is a statement of what will be done and chapter 4 is what was done and what the findings were. Again, thus far the writing is objective and must not contain student opinion. 5. Chapter 5 states results, conclusion, and future work recommendations.
