Different definitions of research paper
5) As defined by the Modern Language Association Handbook (2009), the research paper "should be characterized by lucid, coherent exposition. No set of conventions for preparing a manuscript can replace lively and intelligent writing. Unlike some other forms of writing, however, the research paper requires writers to seek out and investigate sources of information other than their own personal knowledge and experience. Research into a topic will yield new information, sharpen perception of a problem, and lend authority to hypotheses. The research paper, the final product of research, is not a collection of other persons' opinions but a carefully constructed presentation of an idea -- or series of ideas -- that relies on other sources for clarification and verification. Learned facts and borrowed opinions must be fully documented in the research paper, usually through notes, but always in such a manner that they support rather than overshadow the paper itself"
