1. Introduction
2. Literature Review
3. Theory
4. Research Design

Criteria for success

A successful research design paper:

1. Presents a clear and well-motivated research question
2. Identifies the relevant literature and where the paper fits within that body of work
3. Presents two testable and falsifiable hypotheses with appropriate justification/explanation
4. Discusses implications of the work

Additionally, pay attention to the following:

• Include a properly formatted reference page. Use APA or APSA style.
• Proofread your paper so that there are no grammatical or punctuation mistakes. This includes capitalization and placement of quotation marks after punctuation. In case of doubt, use Google and the resources in the “Writing” section of this website. I encourage you to use Grammarly as well.
