Sample Format for the Term Paper Assignment
TITLE (Clear and Concise)
1. Abstract:
An abstract should be of approximately 250-300 words.
Provide a brief summary of the review question being addressed or rationale for the review, the major
studies reviewed, and conclusions drawn. Please do not cite references in the Abstract.
2. Introduction:
An Introduction should be of approximately 1000-1200 words.
Introduce the topic and your rationale for addressing this topic focusing on why this topic is important.
Clearly define exactly what this article will discuss, outline the order in which you will discuss each
subtopic to give the reader any background information needed to understand the coming sections.
2.1 Body (subtopics being addressed):
Although the structure may vary based in the sub-topics or review questions being addresses. For example,
if you are reviewing three different methodologies, you might divide the body of the article into three
sections, each discussing one of the methods. In these sections, be sure to describe the research methods
and evaluate how studies were conducted focusing on the study design and analysis e.g., intention to treat
versus completers/retention rate, compare studies, and discuss their implications.
3. Literature Review:
A Literature Review should be of approximately 1000-1200 words.
A literature review is a comprehensive summary of previous research on a topic. It involves critically
analyzing the relevant scholarly articles, books, and other sources to provide an overview of what is known
about the topic.
4. Conclusions:
A Conclusion should be of approximately 250-300 words.
You should develop the conclusion by briefly restating the rationale for your review and the purpose of the
article, then discussing the conclusions you have drawn. You should also discuss the implications of your
review findings and where you think research in this field should go from here.

At least 20-25 references must be cited.
Use a standardized referencing system. A widely used one is the APA style.
