The main elements for writing a research paper are, “research, critical thinking, source evaluation, organization, and composition.” A research paper includes many sources, it is choosing a topic to investigate and learn more about. Yet, it is not an informative paper,” The goal of a research paper is not to inform the reader what others have to say about a topic, but to draw on what others have to say about a topic and engage the sources in order to thoughtfully offer a unique perspective on the issue at hand.”It requires you to analyze the information found and interpret it in a unique way. There are two types of research papers: analytical and argumentative. In an argumentative research paper the topic must be controversial, having two different points of views. In an analytical research paper, is a question in which the researcher has taken no side-objective.
When you choosing a topic, one should begging brainstorming ideas down. This is a helpful way which =exposes patterns and main ideas, to help you conclude your topic. Yet, you must also take into account what audience you are going to write about. This will help you determine the tone and diction you will use in your research paper. Yet, the writing standards are not all to it, “one must not only pay particular attention to the genre, topic, and audience, but must also become skilled in researching, outlining, drafting, and revising.” These are skills many don’t take into consideration, but are very important and useful when writing a research paper.
Writing a research paper is not impossible or hard, it just takes time practice and basic skills.

I like your post because it gives a clear insight about the research papers and the elemtns it should contain. Eventhough it is detail and provides the readers valuable information about the way these papers should be written, I consider that a personal opinion or your reflection about the reading is missing. anyways, the last sentence gives a good support because it influences readers to take the risk and write becuase as you say it isnt impossilbe, it just requires dedication and this is something i agree with.
