Doing a research paper to begin with it tough. When doing a research paper you have to get all of your sources together and make sure they are believable sources. The research part is tough alone because you have to look up everything about your topic. Sometimes the topic that you chose can be broad and you have to slim it down to a sub-topic. For me, I had Elvis Presley, so I asked myself, how did Elvis impact the media? I found out that Elvis did a lot for Rock n Roll music. So I just focus on Elvis and his music. I research music before, during, and after Elvis. Doing the draft to me is kind of easy because with the draft you can make mistakes and you can go over it to make sure I'm not plagiarizing. Afterwards doing the final draft can be difficult or easy depends if you did your draft and research right. When typing your final draft you have to double check to make sure you didn't plagiarize. When you write a quote make sure you add the source from where you got the quote. The major issue I believe researchers have is plagiarism. Some researchers tend to do it by accident while others do it on purpose. Because of this some researchers are getting blamed for plagiarizing someone else work. The can resolve this issues I guess by looking double or triple over their work to make sure they're not plagiarizing. It's hard to spot them but when you do make sure you have the source for each one.
