February 8, 2013 Research Challenges and Benefits
While reading a newspaper or magazine I sometimes think “is this true, it can’t be” or “what will happen next?”, either there is not enough information for me or the story sounds so incredulous that there has to more to it that the writer did not cover in his or her story. However, I continue to read and maybe look elsewhere for the information to completely satisfy my curiosity.
When I have to research anything, my first step is to turn to “Google”. Once I have completed my search on google, I may move on to a different website that may or may not be provided by google, that specializes in whatever it is that I am researching. Sometimes, I find that the biggest challenge for me in doing research is finding too much information. The information then becomes an issue of what and what not to use. Some tips I use and would suggest to others would be to write down exactly what you need or looking for before you begin your search in order to stay focus.
Title of Paper
Begin your paper with the introduction. The active voice, rather than passive voice, should be used in your writing.

The page number appears one inch from the right edge on the first line of each page, excluding the Figures page.
Headings
Use headings and subheadings to organize the sections of your paper. The first heading level is formatted with initial caps and is centered on the page. Do not start a new page for each heading.
Subheading
Subheadings are formatted with italics and are aligned flush left.
Citations
Source material must be documented in the body of the paper by citing the authors and dates

This was affirmed again in 2003 by Professor Anderson (Anderson, Charles & Johnson, 2003). References Anderson, Charles & Johnson (2003) Smith, M. (2001). Writing a successful paper.
