“Show me the person who has invented these numerous writing styles, formats and sophisticated guidelines to each of them?!”- Have you ever had this question? If yes, you are not alone in your desire to see who is “guilty in inventing” research paper’s formats. There are thousands of other students who would like to “thank” to this person for making up these “amazing” research paper’s formats.
 
Here is a deal for you - until we find this “Judah”, we will try to learn as much as possible about a variety of research paper’s formats.
 
Research paper’s writing formats:

1. MLA research paper’s format has its own requirements, such as 12 point, double spaced text format, inclusion of a Works cited page, header in the upper right corner of each page with your name and page number. It should be added that this is the most widespread research paper’s writing format.
2. APA research paper’s format is based on the following guidelines: a running head at the top of each page, page header, cover page with detailed information on its author and a full title, as well as the abstract of a paper.
3. Turabian research paper’s format. Its peculiarity is that you are supposed to include footnotes and endnotes in your paper. Turabian research paper’s format does not have any title page requirements, but some guidelines concerning your Bibliography page (it should be placed after the endnotes, listing all the sources of information - even those that were not referenced in your paper).

You still might not like research paper’s formats, but at least you have some idea of what each of them is about. Or …and how about creating a chat of those who cannot stand research paper’s format?!
