The fifth step is to complete your research assignment. You must apply your analytical skills to your writing by properly structuring your paper based on your thesis statement (or main topic), incorporating your selected quotes and paraphrases, and following the proper formatting guidelines.

How do I build a paper around my information?
How do I analyze instead of summarize the topic?
⚡ TIP: It is important to always include some form of analysis in your research assignment. Summaries are appropriate for annotated bibliographies, but your final product must do more than simply summarize.
