Thesis statement = the main point or points you are going to try to defend in your research paper. your research will center on discovering material that supports your thesis. Parenthetical Citation notes = http://www.easybib.com/help/paren Outline = the basic skeleton of your research paper (does not need to be too detailed) Anything else?
