How to Use Research Paper Authority

Research Paper Authority is a collection of resources to help you write your research paper or term paper.  In fact, it’s the single largest collection of research paper related resources in existence. We add 3-7 new articles daily.  All of the major sections of the site are organized into categories, located in the Navigation bar above.  Think of these as major "departments" of the site, which subcategories that appear when you mouse over the category link.  Choose the most appropriate category for whatever you are trying to accomplish.  Categories are also located in the right hand column of every page.

Make sure you sign up for the "updates via email" service (on the right-hand side, above the video), so you know when we have added new content that is relevant to you.

• If you haven’t yet started your research paper, and just want to get a general education on them so you understand the research and writing processes, then start with the Paper Writing Center.
• If you have not yet chosen your topic, or finalized your thesis statement, see the Research Paper Topics category.
• The Paper Writing Center is where you will find help on how to actually put your paper together, and it is organized by both citation style and by subject matter.  For example, if you have to write a History Paper, there are articles and instructions for that specific subject area.
• The Research Center is where you will start the actual research process once you know what your topic is.  It is an organized collection of links to the best Internet based research sources, by subject, as well as a list of offline sources you’ll need.
• If you want to see samples of research papers, then visit the Sample Papers category.  They are organized by format / citation style (e.g. APA, MLA, etc.)
• The Tools category contains reviews and links to software or services that make the research paper writing process easier.
• The Resources category contains the top miscellaneous links ad helpful websites that you will find useful, but that don’t fall under any of the other categories.  Think of it as a "catchall" miscellaneous category.
