What is a Research Paper?
Papers vs. Research Papers
A paper about nutrition might include your personal ideas and opinions about nutrition.
A research paper about nutrition includes your personal ideas and opinions about nutrition + books, articles, and websites that include research and data about nutrition.
These sources -- books, articles, and websites -- provide information from experts who have studied this topic and primary sources from people with first-hand experience.
Keywords
Sometimes you have to play around with keywords for a while to find the right terms. If you were looking for information about your health, you might try different keywords:
- economics -- psychological aspects
- choice (psychology) -- economic aspects
- decision making -- psychological aspects
- consumer behavior
As you do your research, keep a list of keywords that help you get to the information you are looking for.
