This is a scientific, technical paper. It is not a campfire story. It is not personal reminiscences and should not include any references to "I", or "me" or "my", etc. The paper must be written in third person. Avoid journalistic writing styles (too "flowery", too "cute" or....so forth)

The paper should start with an Introduction - a short paragraph stating the purpose for the paper (and the purpose is not "because it is required"!). The introduction should indicate the type of research done - library or fieldwork, and a general description of the paper's topic.

The next part of the paper is the "Body of the Paper", sectioned into "chronological" components, or other sections. These smaller sections allow the reader to focus on the important highlights of the paper. Using headings and smaller sections also make your paper more readable.

The final section of the paper should be the "Conclusion" or "summary". This is where it "all comes together". You need to restate some of the information in your Introduction and end with a final conclusion.

(2) Always label your diagram, graph, or image, etc. beneath the actual figure itself as a caption. For example: "Figure 1. a typical cinder cone volcano".

(3) Always identify the source of your image, diagram, or graph, etc. in the caption. For example: "Figure 1. a typical cinder cone volcano. Source: Microsoft Encarta, volume 3, page 115". If you are downloading an image, diagram, graph, etc. from a web page, include the entire URL address. For example: " https://www/usgs.gov/volcano.html".
