Abstract
The abstract is a brief summary of your paper. The purpose of your research needs to be communicated in a few sentences. For empirical research, abstracts typically include a statement about the methodology used or the experimental design followed. The abstract often concludes with several sentences summarizing the primary results and conclusions. Papers in the humanities generally include a statement regarding the major thesis and a sentence for each of the primary ideas explained in the paper. Please note: Your abstract must follow the guidelines of the peer-reviewed publication chosen for your project.

Research Paper Length
Each final paper should be of the highest possible quality. Please note that humanities and social science papers tend to be lengthier than those within STEM majors. Consult with your faculty mentor about the appropriate length for your discipline. Your research paper must follow the length/word count guidelines of the peer-reviewed publication chosen for your project.

Research Format
Papers should conform to the manuscript and documentation format appropriate to the guidelines of the peer-reviewed publication chosen for your project. References must follow the citation guidelines of the peer-reviewed publication chosen for your project.

Submission to Grand Valley State University's Institutional Repository, Scholar Works, is required. You may submit your entire Final Project Report, or only your abstract.
