Thinking Outside of the Box: Research Paper Topics

By Matthew Davis


Boring? Dry? Dreadful? If these words pop into your thoughts every time a research paper is assigned, it is time to use some fresh, new research paper topics about which to make your paper. So long as the professor or teacher has provided free reign on the assignment, choose a creative, bold and fascinating topic.

Find more creative ideas about research paper topics at AboutTopics.com.

Explore the ways that astronauts sleep for such a long time in outer space by conducting personal interviews. Create a mock conversation between Hemingway and Fitzgerald, and then prove why they'd speak to one another in such a manner. Consider heading in a persuasive route, with research to back up your debate. To infuse some humour into your paper, you may argue whether Calvin and Hobbes or Fred and Barney should run for president and vice president. Use quotations and illustrations from the particular cartoons to affirm your point. Visit AboutTopics.com for more ideas on research paper topics, as this internet site features a range of ideas in education, religion, people and society and lots more. For instance, topic suggestions include "Why did feudalism develop? What are its major advantages as a social system?" and "How science influences religion."

Whether you choose to head in an amusing though factual way or towards a rather more conventional research paper topic, following some basic rules is very important. Conduct research prior to beginning creating your paper. What if you choose a topic, and then discover that there is no research out there that supports your points of view? After you've poured thru the material, sit down and start to write the body of your essay first. Imagine giving someone directions, although not telling him/her the destination. That is rather like making an attempt to write an introduction before the body of your paper! The introduction is meant to tell the reader where you are going and provide a sneak preview at what is contained in the body of the essay. But if the research paper isn't yet done, how can the introduction possibly do that task? Once you have finished the body of the paper, return to the first page and write the introduction.

Writing is a process, and no paper should ever be turned in without editing part. Read your paper out loud, as it will help you to find mistakes that you wouldn't notice otherwise. Visit a college writing center or work with a teacher to improve organisation, structure, clumsy wording, grammar skills and so forth.
