Style in Writing a

Reasearch Paper
 Sentences in a research paper, thesis, or
dissertation should be active, forceful, and
varied, reinforcing your meaning.
 It should be compound or compound-complex
sentences, with parallel structure.
 Logical consistencies in discussion.

1
 Observe coherence – present ideas,
observations, and generalizations in a
logical and consistent sequence.
 Consistency in verb tenses – avoid shifting
tenses. Use present tense for
generalizations or conclusions. Use past
tense to present results of particular
experiments.

2
 AVOID USING THE FIRST PERSON OR SECOND
PERSON PRONOUNS. USE ONLY THE THIRD PERSON
PRONOUNS (he, she, they, it).
Using the first person would weaken the study
for it will give the impression that the
researchers are uncertain and are only relying
on assumptions and opinions.

3
 Avoid wordiness and redundancies.
 Write seriously. Avoid being flippant,
humorous, casual, ironic.
 Choose formality. Use technical terms
instead of colloquial terms.
 Spell out numbers (if lower than ten)

4
In our society, at present times, the kids
always want solutions that are fast and like
you, they do not like to wait. They do not
want to exert effort to answer their problems.

Today’s youth would prefer instant solutions


to problems for they are not patient nor are
they resourceful in solving their problems.

5
 Use Courier New or Times New Roman
 Font size twelve
 Double spaced
 One-inch margin, all sides
 Short Bond Paper
 Write in future tense

6
 Avoid contractions and abbreviations. Spell
out the words.
 Justify the paragraphs, break down long
paragraphs to two or more paragraphs.
 Ensure content has proper alignment and
indention.
