GUIDELINES FOR WRITING A TERM PAPER (SCHOLARLY ARTICLE)
(ENV 210)Abstract: You must provide an Abstract (not more than 250 words), which should include a justification for your study/research (i.e., the importance of you study in a sentence or two), and objective of the study (i.e., what you are trying to accomplish from the study). These should be followed by sentences written concisely about experimental outlines, important results and discussion, and concluding remarks. Remember that readers should be able to get an overall idea about your whole study/paper by reading the abstract. In general, along with abstract, your article should have the following main sections/headings and if necessary you can divide them into different subheadings, as well.Introduction: It should familiarize reader about the topic. To do that you need to read related published materials on the topic, and explain/state their findings in your own words, however, DO NOT misquote them, and ALWAYS cite them appropriately. Try to point out different opinions if exist on the topic, and give your views about it (i.e., your hypothesis). You must provide specific objectives (at the end of the introduction section; could be one or more), i.e., what you were trying to accomplish/test by conducting the study/research.Materials and Methods: Results and Discussion: State whatever results you have got from the experimental/surveys. If possible, present your data on tabular form or in figures/illustrations (using your creativity). Remember to discuss your results why the way they are (if you had problems in conducting some of the experimental, you should explain those so that someone in the future would be cautious). Again, search the literatures and back up your results/explanations by citing published materials (papers, books, reliable web sites, etc). Sometimes, however, you may not be able find any study that support your results/explanations, in that case you should make every effort to convince the readers by giving possible reasons in scholarly manner. Conclusions: write what you concluded from the study. You can avoid having Conclusions as a separate section by providing the conclusions as a paragraph at the end of the Results and Discussion section.References: List all the references that are cited throughout your article appropriately (i.e., by using a particular established style). You can write your term paper on any environmental science related topic that interests you (please see me once you decide on what topic you are going to write). The term paper should be five-page long (double space; A4 size), and you should cite at least six references in it. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT YOU NEED TO GIVE PROPER CREDIT TO THE ORIGINAL SOURCE BY CITING APPROPRIATELY IF YOU BORROW SOMEONE ELSE IDEAS/WORDS, etc. PLAGIARISM IS WRONG AND WILL NOT BE TOLORATED!
