Discover proofreading & editing

Follow these steps to start your research paper outline:

  • Decide on the subject of the paper
  • Write down all the ideas you want to include or discuss
  • Organize related ideas into sub-groups
  • Arrange your ideas into a hierarchy: What should the reader learn first? What is most important? Which idea will help end your paper most effectively?
  • Create headings and subheadings that are effective
  • Format the outline in either alphanumeric, full-sentence or decimal format

There are three different kinds of research paper outline: alphanumeric, full-sentence and decimal outlines. The differences relate to formatting and style of writing.

  • Alphanumeric
  • Full-sentence

An alphanumeric outline is most commonly used. It uses Roman numerals, capitalized letters, arabic numerals, lowercase letters to organize the flow of information. Text is written with short notes rather than full sentences.

  • Sub-point of sub-point 1

Essentially the same as the alphanumeric outline, but with the text written in full sentences rather than short points.

  • Additional sub-point to conclude discussion of point of evidence introduced in point A

A decimal outline is similar in format to the alphanumeric outline, but with a different numbering system: 1, 1.1, 1.2, etc. Text is written as short notes rather than full sentences.

  • 1.1.1 Sub-point of first point
  • 1.1.2 Sub-point of first point
  • 1.2 Second point

To write an effective research paper outline, it is important to pay attention to language. This is especially important if it is one you will show to your teacher or be assessed on.

There are four main considerations: parallelism, coordination, subordination and division.

Parallelism: Be consistent with grammatical form

Parallel structure or parallelism is the repetition of a particular grammatical form within a sentence, or in this case, between points and sub-points. This simply means that if the first point is a verb , the sub-point should also be a verb.

Example of parallelism:

  • Include different regions, focusing on the different arguments from those against immunization

Coordination: Be aware of each point’s weight

Your chosen subheadings should hold the same significance as each other, as should all first sub-points, secondary sub-points, and so on.

Example of coordination:

  • Include immunization figures in affected regions
  • Illnesses that can result from the measles virus

Subordination: Work from general to specific

Subordination refers to the separation of general points from specific. Your main headings should be quite general, and each level of sub-point should become more specific.

Example of subordination:

Division: break information into sub-points.

Your headings should be divided into two or more subsections. There is no limit to how many subsections you can include under each heading, but keep in mind that the information will be structured into a paragraph during the writing stage, so you should not go overboard with the number of sub-points.

What is a Literature Review?

A literature review is a critical summary of what the scientific literature (books, articles, studies, theses and dissertations) says about your specific topic or question. Often student research in APA fields falls into this category. Your professor might ask you to write this kind of paper to demonstrate your familiarity with work in the field pertinent to the research you hope to conduct.

A literature review typically contains the following sections:

Introduction section (why is this topic important?)

List and analysis of references

Some instructors may also want you to write an abstract for a literature review, so be sure to check with them when given an assignment. Also, the length of a literature review and the required number of sources will vary based on course and instructor preferences.

(Adapted from the Purdue Online Writing Lab)

What should a literature review include?

Introduction :  Explain why this research topic is important.  Outline what direction your review will take: i.e., what aspects of the topic you’re focusing on.  

Body :  Present your summaries and evaluations of the sources in a clear, logical, and coherent manner.  Some options for organizing your review include chronological, order of importance, two sides of a controversial problem, differences in perspective or viewpoint.  Your review must “read” like a coherent paper, not a list.

Note :  Most literature reviews describe only the main findings, relevant methodological issues, and/or major conclusions of other research.

Ensure your final list of references includes all sources you’ve discussed, and use the citation style required in your discipline.

As public servants and officers entrusted to maintain public administration in the form of citizen protection, the police face enormous and complex challenges. Depending upon where they perform their duties, expectations from the communities they serve are frequently frustrated by limited means, an insufficient workforce, and legal restrictions in place to protect the rights of suspects. Specifically, the issue of police profiling has been hotly debated, and vocal opponents categorize it as a racist and illegal practice, wherein suspects are predetermined as such by virtue of minority status. Ultimately, however, police profiling, done rationally, is nothing more than an implementing of established data and a potentially effective method of lessening crime.

Police Profiling: Issues

In basic terms, the practice of police profiling refers to employing statistics on crime and criminals to obtain a working idea of who the most likely perpetrators of crime will be, in a given area or city. As the practice relies upon a complex gathering and sorting of information, profiling, at least in the modern sense, is commonly thought to be a relatively recent activity and concern. The impetus behind it, however, is as old as police work itself: “Profiling is the long-held, widespread police practice of viewing certain characteristics of individuals and situations as indicative of criminal behavior” (Barkan, Bryjak, 2009, p. 259).

It is logical to conclude that the increased racial awareness in place over the past few decades has brought profiling into sharp focus; plainly, a general disregard for the status of minorities must translate to a lack of concern in the violation of minority rights, both from a community and the police employed to protect it. As civil rights movements took potent form in the 1960s and beyond, all forms of discrimination came under intense scrutiny. This ran the gamut from job opportunities and social restrictions to, not unexpectedly, the way minorities have been treated by the police. Consequently, when profiling is discussed, it is typically racial profiling at the heart of the controversy.

The arguments regarding racial profiling emanate from every quarter, and opposing sides represent all factions within society. Government and public administration officials ordinarily condemn the practice, pointing to the fundamental violation of basic human rights it appears to manifest. Their position is, however, tenuous, for racial profiling actually defies strict definition and is therefore not, technically, illegal. A court may hold that a case of evident racial profiling ignores the Fourteenth Amendment, which guarantees all citizens equal treatment under the law. Many courts, in fact, have. These same courts, nonetheless, must take into account public fear, and confront as well the inescapable data motivating the police action.

Opponents of racial profiling are by no means restricted to minority spokespeople. As noted, public officials at the highest levels of government, particularly presidential, decry it. Such opposition is most often put forth in a theoretical manner; every citizen, regardless of ethnicity, must be treated by the police as all citizens are. This goes to the most basic components of the nation’s founding principles, and is not easily disputed by any rational means.

This point brings up, however, an interesting distinction. That is to say, when does police “treatment” actually commence? In profiling, there is an inherent degree of passivity; it relies upon a watchfulness generated by a police force with allegedly sound cause to be suspicious. It is arguable if any citizen’s rights are being truly violated when no real, active police presence is thrust upon them.

Opponents immediately proclaim that the suspicion itself is the violation. It opens the door for unjustified interrogation and/or harassment, and it is as well an insult to the profiled citizen. While there is evident validity to this argument, it nonetheless ignores two realities. The first is that any citizen of any race at all may be, simply through circumstance, unfairly “profiled” merely because an expectation of criminal activity prompts the watchfulness from police relied upon by the community. Then, there is the matter of data, strongly pointing to probabilities.

Those who support racial profiling do not usually do so overtly, or proudly. It is, in such eyes, a regrettable but vital tool. The information employed by the police, they aver, is not guilty of racism or racist intent because it is only information. Supporters tend to view profiling opposition as an understandable, but naïve, reaction to unfortunate circumstances. It may be assumed that both sides would be pleased to see an eventual vanishing of all discrimination lead to a world wherein profiling is an outmoded and useless police activity.

Letter to the Editor

I have observed in my own community attitudes regarding racial profiling that I find disturbing. A frequent business traveler, and one based in a major city, I have had occasion to witness airport security incidents which have made me reflect on profiling, and how it is viewed by the people around me, in a new light.

In the past, I was as adamantly against racial profiling as anyone, certainly in theory. It just seemed to me to go against everything this country is supposed to be about. Then, the world changed.  As is commonly known, the enormous attention placed upon terrorism within the past ten years has brought the issues of racial profiling under even more intense scrutiny. After the attacks of 9/11, racial profiling was done openly, in a sense. It seemed to be very much regarded by the public at large as, if an evil, a necessary one: “…Public attitudes toward racially profiling terrorists softened as the sense of urgency regarding future terrorist attacks increased” (Turvey, 2008, p. 526).

What occurred, and what I see occurring almost every time I travel, is that citizens who would be unduly distressed to see an African American detained at a security checkpoint for no obvious reason are inclined to support the same detaining of those of Middle Eastern aspect. The prevalent and national point of view regarding any inequities with racial profiling became uniformly segmented because the nature of terrorism seemed to demand a far more narrow interpretation of civil rights.

This is what has compelled me to reexamine my own feelings on the subject. That single element serves to eviscerate opposition against racial profiling, and not merely because it is an unreasonable viewpoint generated by a greater fear. The logic appears to be that, as there is irrefutable evidence that terrorism is conducted by people from Middle astern backgrounds, and that such people are easily identified by physical characteristics and modes of dress, it is rational to suspect them.

If, however, this mode of thinking is in any way valid, I do not see how it may be confined to either potential crime or suspected perpetrator of any kind. The enormity of a terrorist act cannot alter the virtue or immorality of racial profiling; the process exists independent of specific criminal action, no matter the impact. Consequently, if the police possess solid data revealing that, in a certain district, a certain minority population is overwhelmingly implicated in crime, the exact same principles apply, and the racial profiling remains a logical and productive, if unfortunate, tool in diminishing crime in that area.

I have further reflected on a frequently overlooked aspect of the issue, which is that the police are an extension of the public. They are citizens too, who, for whatever reason, have selected that career. Then, the profiling done on Middle Eastern people at my airport is not limited to the police; I see my neighbors doing it, although they do not have the authority to actually detain anyone. The suspicions and the fears are plain to see, and it strikes me as highly unreasonable to expect our police and security people to somehow demonstrate a finer character than we ourselves possess.

What we expect, in fact, is that the police reflect our own concerns. They operate, as we do, based not only on what is actually occurring, but on what may well occur, given a set of known circumstances. In my view now, racial profiling is an ugly consequence of a flawed society. However, as long as empirical data and solid backgrounds of evidence support it, I cannot in good conscience claim that it is unethical, or wrong. I can only trust that the police always keep profiling within tightly maintained parameters, and never let the tool that it is dictate unfounded actions.

Research Paper Outline

By creating a well-structured research paper outline, writers can easily organize their thoughts and ideas and ensure that their final paper is clear, concise, and effective. In this article, we will explore the essential components of a research paper outline and provide some tips and tricks for creating a successful one.

Research Paper Outline

Research paper outline is a plan or a structural framework that organizes the main ideas , arguments, and supporting evidence in a logical sequence. It serves as a blueprint or a roadmap for the writer to follow while drafting the actual research paper .

Typically, an outline consists of the following elements:

  • Introduction : This section presents the topic, research question , and thesis statement of the paper. It also provides a brief overview of the literature review and the methodology used.
  • Literature Review: This section provides a comprehensive review of the relevant literature, theories, and concepts related to the research topic. It analyzes the existing research and identifies the research gaps and research questions.
  • Methodology: This section explains the research design, data collection methods, data analysis, and ethical considerations of the study.
  • Results: This section presents the findings of the study, using tables, graphs, and statistics to illustrate the data.
  • Discussion : This section interprets the results of the study, and discusses their implications, significance, and limitations. It also suggests future research directions.
  • Conclusion : This section summarizes the main findings of the study and restates the thesis statement.
  • References: This section lists all the sources cited in the paper using the appropriate citation style.

Research Paper Outline Types

There are several types of outlines that can be used for research papers, including:

Alphanumeric Outline

This is a traditional outline format that uses Roman numerals, capital letters, Arabic numerals, and lowercase letters to organize the main ideas and supporting details of a research paper. It is commonly used for longer, more complex research papers.

I. Introduction

  • A. Background information
  • B. Thesis statement
  • 1 1. Supporting detail
  • 1 2. Supporting detail 2
  • 2 1. Supporting detail

III. Conclusion

  • A. Restate thesis
  • B. Summarize main points

Decimal Outline

This outline format uses numbers to organize the main ideas and supporting details of a research paper. It is similar to the alphanumeric outline, but it uses only numbers and decimals to indicate the hierarchy of the ideas.

  • 1.1 Background information
  • 1.2 Thesis statement
  • 1 2.1.1 Supporting detail
  • 1 2.1.2 Supporting detail
  • 2 2.2.1 Supporting detail
  • 1 2.2.2 Supporting detail
  • 3.1 Restate thesis
  • 3.2 Summarize main points

Full Sentence Outline

This type of outline uses complete sentences to describe the main ideas and supporting details of a research paper. It is useful for those who prefer to see the entire paper outlined in complete sentences.

  • Provide background information on the topic
  • State the thesis statement
  • Explain main idea 1 and provide supporting details
  • Discuss main idea 2 and provide supporting details
  • Restate the thesis statement
  • Summarize the main points of the paper

Topic Outline

This type of outline uses short phrases or words to describe the main ideas and supporting details of a research paper. It is useful for those who prefer to see a more concise overview of the paper.

  • Background information
  • Thesis statement
  • Supporting detail 1
  • Supporting detail 2
  • Restate thesis
  • Summarize main points

Reverse Outline

This is an outline that is created after the paper has been written. It involves going back through the paper and summarizing each paragraph or section in one sentence. This can be useful for identifying gaps in the paper or areas that need further development.

  • Introduction : Provides background information and states the thesis statement.
  • Paragraph 1: Discusses main idea 1 and provides supporting details.
  • Paragraph 2: Discusses main idea 2 and provides supporting details.
  • Paragraph 3: Addresses potential counterarguments.
  • Conclusion : Restates thesis and summarizes main points.

Mind Map Outline

This type of outline involves creating a visual representation of the main ideas and supporting details of a research paper. It can be useful for those who prefer a more creative and visual approach to outlining.

  • Supporting detail 1: Lack of funding for public schools.
  • Supporting detail 2: Decrease in government support for education.
  • Supporting detail 1: Increase in income inequality.
  • Supporting detail 2: Decrease in social mobility.

Introduction

Cybersecurity refers to the protection of computer systems, networks, and sensitive data from unauthorized access, theft, damage, or any other form of cyber attack. B. Importance of Cybersecurity The increasing reliance on technology and the growing number of cyber threats make cybersecurity an essential aspect of modern society. Cybersecurity breaches can result in financial losses, reputational damage, and legal liabilities. C. Purpose of the paper This paper aims to provide an overview of cybersecurity, cyber threats, cybersecurity measures, cybersecurity in the business and government sectors, cybersecurity ethics, and the future of cybersecurity.

A cyber threat is any malicious act or event that attempts to compromise or disrupt computer systems, networks, or sensitive data. B. Types of Cyber Threats Common types of cyber threats include malware, phishing, social engineering, ransomware, DDoS attacks, and advanced persistent threats (APTs). C. Examples of Cyber Threats Recent cyber threats include the SolarWinds supply chain attack, the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack, and the Microsoft Exchange Server hack.

Prevention measures aim to minimize the risk of cyber attacks by implementing security controls, such as firewalls, anti-virus software, and encryption.

  • Firewalls Firewalls act as a barrier between a computer network and the internet, filtering incoming and outgoing traffic to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Anti-virus software Anti-virus software detects, prevents, and removes malware from computer systems.
  • Encryption Encryption involves the use of mathematical algorithms to transform sensitive data into a code that can only be accessed by authorized individuals. B. Detection measures Detection measures aim to identify and respond to cyber attacks as quickly as possible, such as intrusion detection systems (IDS), security information and event management (SIEM), and security operations centers (SOCs).
  • Intrusion Detection System (IDS) IDS monitors network traffic for signs of unauthorized access, such as unusual patterns or anomalies.

Cybersecurity is crucial for businesses of all sizes and industries, as they handle sensitive data, financial transactions, and intellectual property that are attractive targets for cyber criminals.

Risk assessment is a critical step in developing a cybersecurity strategy, which involves identifying potential threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences to determine the level of risk and prioritize security measures.

Best practices for cybersecurity in business include implementing strong passwords and multi-factor authentication, regularly updating software and hardware, training employees on cybersecurity awareness, and regularly backing up data.

Government organizations face unique cybersecurity challenges, as they handle sensitive information related to national security, defense, and critical infrastructure.

Risk assessment in government organizations involves identifying and assessing potential threats and vulnerabilities, conducting regular audits, and complying with relevant regulations and standards.

Best practices for cybersecurity in government organizations include implementing secure communication protocols, regularly updating and patching software, and conducting regular cybersecurity training and awareness programs for employees.

Cybersecurity ethics are crucial for maintaining trust in technology, protecting privacy and data, and promoting responsible behavior in the digital world.

Examples of cybersecurity ethics include protecting the privacy of user data, ensuring data accuracy and integrity, and implementing fair and unbiased algorithms.

The future of cybersecurity will involve a shift towards more advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and quantum computing.

Emerging cybersecurity threats include AI-powered cyber attacks, the use of deepfakes and synthetic media, and the potential for quantum computing to break current encryption methods.

Advancements in cybersecurity technology include the development of AI and machine learning-based security tools, the use of blockchain for secure data storage and sharing, and the development of post-quantum encryption methods.

This paper has provided an overview of cybersecurity, cyber threats, cybersecurity measures, cybersecurity in the business and government sectors, cybersecurity ethics, and the future of cybersecurity.

To enhance cybersecurity, organizations should prioritize risk assessment and implement a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy that includes prevention, detection, and response measures. Additionally, organizations should prioritize cybersecurity ethics to promote responsible behavior in the digital world.

Here are a few situations when you might want to consider writing an outline:

  • When you’re starting a new research project: If you’re beginning a new research project, an outline can help you get organized from the very beginning. You can use your outline to brainstorm ideas, map out your research goals, and identify potential sources of information.
  • When you’re struggling to organize your thoughts: If you find yourself struggling to organize your thoughts or make sense of your research, an outline can be a helpful tool. It can help you see the big picture of your project and break it down into manageable parts.
