How do you write the body of your research paper?

After finishing the introduction, you are now writing the biggest part of your research paper--main body. The main body of your research paper contains a great deal of information and facts. Of course, it is the longest section. This is why I always call it "beef" in class. So, where is your beef? Here are some tips for your reference:

1. Clear arguments• You have to know what you are saying. Do not shift from one topic to another.
2. Avoid redundant words. Delete "I think" or "I feel" because the paper is written by you; of course, it is your thinking and your feeling.
3. Read your paper aloud. Reading aloud can help you make sure your writing readable. Ask yourself, "Do my statements make sense?" or "Does my sentence have any grammatical errors?"
4. Have someone else read your paper. Besides your teacher, you'd better ask someone else to read your paper, such as your group members or friends to read your paper. It is easy for outside readers to catch errors in your paper.
5. Use Word Processor. Do not forget to use the checking tool to do you a favor in your spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
6. Avoid Plagiarism. Plagiarism ruins your reputation. Do not forget to use paraphrasing skill and give citations (credits) when you use others' ideas.
7. Always keep your schedule. A good research paper takes time, so if you do it before the night of the due day. Obviously, your work will be awkward and ineffective.
