Writing a Research Paper in Political Science by Lisa A Baglione

This writing guide breaks down the research paper into its constituent parts and shows students what they need to do at each stage to successfully complete components until the paper is finished.

"I introduced Baglione’s book to my colleagues who advise students in our senior capstone projects, and now they are all using itStudents are being told to hang on to the book for later and are making good use of all its sections."

-- Ashlie B. Delshad

"Students will be able to use Baglione’s book throughout their career on campus. It is especially helpful for students who are hesitant their about writing a research paper or struggling to find a suitable topic. The book walks through the research process and provides very helpful checklists to ensure students stay on the right track." 

-- Aaron King

"One of the greatest difficulties students face when writing research papers is finding a good research question to guide the rest of the writing process. Baglione′s text tackles that issue head on and does so quite well."

-- Jack D. Collens

"This is a very relatable book. The prose is accessible, there is little jargon, and the use of examples is perfect for an undergraduate audience."

-- David Mislan

"Baglione offers an extremely practical and useful text for understanding the content and structure of a thesis-length research paper. For some students, the clear outlining of the sequential steps is most useful, while for others who have the basics down, it offers a broad view of the goals and long-term responsibilities for such a project."

-- Jennifer Seely

"I love the checklists! I require students to submit every section of their paper drafts with the corresponding checklist attached."

-- Emily Beaulieu
