Abstract
The abstract is a brief, but comprehensive summary of the central problem, purpose,
methodology and key findings and conclusions for your research. The content requirements for
the abstract vary depending upon the nature of your research study. Specific content
requirements are provided in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association,
6th edition, 7th printing (the Publication Manual). The abstract consists of a single paragraph
written in block style (i.e., there is no indentation for the first line of the paragraph) that typically
ranges from 150 to 250 words in length. The abstract must be comprehensive, accurate, nonevaluative, coherent, readable, and concise as discussed in the Publication Manual. A cursory
review of the title and abstract for a research paper is often the sole basis upon which a
researcher will determine whether or not to consider reviewing the paper in connection with his
or her research efforts. If the title and abstract do not quickly capture the reader’s attention and
demonstrate potential relevance to his or her research interests, it is unlikely he or she will read
the paper, even though it may be highly relevant to his or her research interests. Clear focus,
brevity, clarity and succinctness are paramount in a good abstract. Use a hard page break at the
end of the abstract.

Complete Title of Research Paper
This document outlines the layout, content and formatting requirements for an IST 8101
research paper. This handout is intended to be used in conjunction with the handout entitled,
“Research Paper Sections, Content and Formatting”, inasmuch as the layout, content and
formatting for many sections of a research paper are very similar to those for a research proposal.
The layout and formatting of this handout has been structured to comply with the requirements
of the Publication Manual in order to resemble the appearance of a properly formatted research
paper. You should not attempt to format your paper solely by relying upon using this document
as an example of APA formatting requirements, as opposed to reading and understanding the
requirements of the Publication Manual.
Your research paper shall comply with the layout, content, and format requirements of
both the Publication Manual. Each section of the IST 8101 thesis (see IST 8101 Thesis Option
Outline document) serves a specific purpose and shall be included in your research paper in the
specific order shown if your IST 8101 project involves developing a thesis. The Results and
Discussion sections may replaced by a section entitled “Project” for research papers associated
with a research project study.

The fourth page of your research paper is the abstract page. The abstract is a brief, but
comprehensive summary of the central problem, purpose, methodology and key findings, and
conclusions for your research. The content requirements for the abstract vary depending upon
the nature of your research study. Specific content requirements are provided in the Publication

Manual. The abstract consists of a single paragraph written in block style (i.e., there is no
indentation for the first line of the paragraph) that typically ranges from 150 to 250 words in
length. The abstract must be accurate, non-evaluative, coherent, readable, and concise as
discussed in the Publication Manual. A cursory review of the title and abstract for a research
paper is often the sole basis upon which a researcher will determine whether or not to consider
reviewing a given research paper in connection with his or her research efforts. If the title and
abstract do not quickly capture the reader’s attention and demonstrate potential relevance to his
or her research interests, it is unlikely he or she will consider reading the paper, even though it
may be highly relevant to his or her research interests. Focus, brevity, clarity, and succinctness
are paramount in a good abstract. Use a hard page break at the end of the abstract.
The introduction section of the research paper begins on the page after the abstract of
your research paper. Although the introduction section is a primary section in a research paper,
it is not preceded by a level one heading formatted in accordance with the requirements in the
Publication Manual. As reflected in the Publication Manual, the complete title of your research
paper (exactly as it appears on the title page) is used as the heading for the introduction section.
Please note that the title of your research paper is not presented in bold font. The introduction
section of a research paper is very similar in terms of purpose and content in comparison to the
introduction section of your research proposal. However, the introduction is typically much
more extensive and detailed in comparison to the introduction section of a research proposal.
Please note that, beginning with the introduction section, no further hard page breaks will be
used at the end of any subsequent sections until after the “Conclusions” section. Refer the
Publication Manual for additional guidance regarding the content of the introduction section.
Problem Statement
Title
5
Just as in your research proposal, the problem statement section is a subsection of the
introduction section and, as such, is preceded by a level two heading formatted in accordance
with the requirements in the Publication Manual entitled “Problem Statement”. The problem
statement section in a research paper is identical in terms of purpose and content to the problem
statement section of a research proposal. The problem statement may be more than two
sentences if the additional sentences add clarity and definition to the problem. However, focus,
brevity, clarity, and succinctness are still paramount in a good problem statement. As a rule, the
longer your problem statement, the less likely it will provide clarity and focus for the reader.
Research Question
The research question section is a subsection of the introduction section and, as such, is
preceded by a level two heading formatted in accordance with the requirements in the
Publication Manual entitled “Research Question”.
Subset research questions. The subset research questions section, if applicable, is a
subsection under the research question section and, as such, is preceded by a level three heading
formatted in accordance with the requirements in the Publication Manual entitled “Subset research
questions”. The guidelines for research questions and subset research questions that applied for your
research proposal also apply for your research paper.
Rationale
The rationale section is a subsection of the introduction section and, as such, is preceded
by a level two heading formatted in accordance with the requirements in the Publication Manual
entitled “Rationale”. The rationale section of a research paper is identical in terms of purpose,
content, and format to the rationale section of your research paper. However, because of the
Title
6
additional insight you have gained while conducting your more in-depth research, it is typically
more extensive and detailed in terms of better defining the need or justification for your research.
Definitions
The definitions section is a subsection of the introduction section and, as such, is
preceded by a level two heading formatted in accordance with the requirements in the
Publication Manual entitled “Definitions”. The definitions section of a research paper contains
only those key words or phrases for which clearly understanding the specific context in which
you are using them in your paper is essential for the reader to correctly understand the overall
scope and context of your paper. Do not provide definitions for words or phrases that you are
using in a manner that is consistent with their generally accepted or understood definitions or
contexts.
Hypothesis
The hypothesis section, if applicable, is a subsection of the introduction section and, as
such, is preceded by a level two heading formatted in accordance with the requirements in the
Publication Manual entitled “Hypothesis”. The hypothesis section reflects insight you have
gained while conducting your more in-depth research. A hypothesis is a mandatory inclusion in
quantitative research papers studies. However, a hypothesis is not mandatory for qualitative
research papers or studies, but it is still strongly recommended as a hypothesis helps define the
focus and intent of your research for the reader. In some instances, your research findings may
disprove your hypothesis. Beware of the temptation to revise your original hypothesis after the
fact to make it appear that you were correct all along. There is no shame or harm in having
developed an incorrect hypothesis based upon your preliminary data, knowledge, and intuition.
The true shame for a researcher is in being too proud to admit that your original hypothesis was
Title
7
incorrect or, perhaps more importantly, failing to recognize the potential value of the new
information you have gained by disproving your hypothesis. There is often considerable value
added or benefit to be gained through disproving a hypothesis. For example, suppose you work
for an organization that is contemplating undertaking a major process improvement initiative that
your senior management hypothesizes will solve an existing organizational problem. The
organization will need to invest considerable labor, material, and funding, all of which are in
scarce supply, in order to undertake the proposed initiative. Prior to actually undertaking the
initiative, senior leadership tasks you to perform some quick research to confirm that the
proposed initiative will likely solve the stated problem as they have hypothesized. Your research
ultimately disproves their hypothesis (i.e., you determine that the proposed process improvement
initiative will not only not solve the problem, but may actually make the problem much worse).
By disproving the hypothesis, you succeeded in preventing the organization from undertaking a
potentially harmful initiative. Thus, disproving a hypothesis is not necessarily an undesirable or
unfavorable outcome.
