1. Proposed Topic
My idea is to focus on the effects of dietary fiber on the risk of development of type 2 diabetes. This topic is important because fiber enhances blood glucose control and thus prevents other complications associated with diabetes since the incidence of diabetes is rapidly increasing globally.
Thesis statement: “This paper will summarize and discuss several scientific articles providing evidence that a diet that is high in fiber may reduce a person’s risk for developing Type 2 Diabetes.”

Outline for research paper :
General Outline for Research Paper
-
Introductory paragraph and thesis statement
-
Paragraph providing background info about your nutrient of choice, it’s biological roles in the body,
requirements, digestion, absorption, metabolism etc.
-
Paragraph discussing your chosen health condition and the proposed role(s) of the nutrient you chose
in the development/prevention of this condition. What happens physiologically when this nutrient is
over- or under-consumed that leads to the symptoms? This should lead into your discussion of your
selected articles.
-
The bulk of your paper should discuss your original research articles and how they support or do not
support your thesis. You should have 1-3 paragraphs per article. Make sure you introduce each article
clearly, specifying authors, methods, sample size, population studied, what was measured and how,
etc. And be sure to clearly identify the conclusions made by the authors based on the results, whether
you agree or not and why, and how this does or does not support your thesis.
-
Concluding paragraph with a developed conclusion that briefly summarizes the findings of your
original research articles and relates the overall outcomes to your thesis
-
Reference page with proper citations for all works cited.
Reminders:
1.You need to summarize and discuss a minimum of 3 original research articles in the body of your
paper.
2.You need to properly cite your references in text. Anytime you make a statement that came
from a reference you must cite it.
3.Do not “QUOTE” your sources as part of your evidence and support. This paper is your
opportunity to demonstrate YOUR understanding, analysis and summation of the topic. Restate
things in your own words and then cite the reference at the end of your statement.
4.Do not spend a lot of time criticizing the relevance or strength of the research or article. If you
believe there are major flaws in the research design or findings, you should not use the article.
5.Critically read your articles several times, take notes set the articles aside, and then write your
draft—this will ensure the work is original.
6.Read your paper OUTLOUD! Have others proofread your paper.

Research Paper Assignment
Here is a link to my lecture slides discussing the assignment: CC_review paper-2.pptx
Here is an example outline for the paper: Research paper outline.docx
This assignment is to write a concise 5 page paper summarizing your research question on a nutrient and the impact on one aspect of health. Your paper should include at least 5 references using proper citation method (either MLA or APA) – the reference page can be outside of your 5 page limit so can be an additional page. Your research on one nutrient should include your critique and analysis of at least 3 or more peer reviewed professional scientific original research journal articles investigating the effects of that nutrient on the specific aspect of health you chose – these 3 peer reviewed scientific original research studies are part of your 5 or more references for this project. Original research studies from peer reviewed journals will include methods and results that you can analyze and critique to determine if the study provides quality evidence or support for your question in the development of your research question. Review articles are not the same as original research studies although they can provide useful background information and provide references to good original research studies. One way to think of your paper is as a “mini” review article. FORMAT is double spaced with 1 inch margins, using a font size of 12. BE SURE TO INCLUDE: The grading rubric for this paper is included for you to review- this explains how your paper will be graded. Submit your paper electronically in Canvas – you will not be handing in your paper but submitting it as a word document (be sure it has the .docx at the end of the file name). You are expected to:
Remember while writing your paper the following:
