This review is from: How to Write a Great Research Paper (Wiley Keys to Success) (Paperback)

Nice book for high school students, or people who have no clue on how to right a research paper.Great chapter on how to take notes, how to do research, with some excellent ideas given. There is a detailed section on how to write an outline, which is also helpful. The Appendix has a great example of a Research paper , and a schedule form that to keep track of what has been accomplished. . However, the book completely misses the mark when it come to citing sources and using the different style. For this reason I didn't give the book 5 stars.
