Research Paper

There are mostly two types of a research paper.

1)    The first one is usually associated with a lengthy essay structure that uses sources and correctly formatted. Also, it is usually seen in high schools, early college years, and sometimes in higher educational facilities that use this type of work instead of the regular essay. However, in such work, students are mostly asked to search the web for a potential answer to specific questions, learn how to take a side in discussions, how to present personal position on the subject and more.

Hence, this is the most common type of essays that academic writers deal with and sometimes such research papers are even called as an “essay” anyway because it is too common while customers usually do not know how to classify it and choose “essay (any type)” to describe such research papers because the main task here is to use outside sources and write a plagiarism-free essay that answers a specific question, using those materials. 

2)    The second one is a serious research work that is associated with an expanded essay that includes abstract, outline, introduction, literature review, materials and methods, results, discussion, recommendations, limitations, conclusion, and appendix sections.

Also, it does not address the reader directly, does not use slang terms, or superlatives, and includes only those figures necessary to presenting results.

Literature Review as One of the Unique Types of Papers

Below are the main aspects that concern one of the most important types of paper, which is a literature review.

Characteristics

However, the literature review might also talk about a specific period in history or might cover specific gaps, topics, and subjects among other purposes of its writing.

Style

Structure

Usually, it is a part of a research paper but can be in a separate essay form. Literature reviews are written occasionally in the humanities, but mostly in the sciences and social sciences. In experiment and lab reports they constitute a section of the paper. The overall structure of the literature review might vary from case to case as it might be a simple summary of sources while sometimes it might represent a synthesis and additional research on the interpretation of the literature. It may also be a part of a huge report.

However, when not a part of the research, such section has an introduction, body, and conclusion. Introduction here is a quick recap of the overall theme of the paper that ends up with a thesis statement. The body of literature review represents the discussion of sources in chronological or thematic manner while methodological patterns are also seen in some cases. Finally, conclusions and recommendations usually represent the answer to the “so what” question of why the literature review was conducted, did the researcher achieve what was needed, and did the researcher fulfill expectations or not. The conclusion must also provide a recap of the literature review and restate thesis.

Research Proposal As One of the Draft-like Types of Papers

Research proposals might be different, but the main theme they follow include the presentation of the background of a specific gap in a specific topic and the proposal of how the researcher will solve such issue. Hence, the proposal has to come up with some theoretical ways of filling the gap found by the researcher.
