Research Topic List and Writing a Thesis Statement A research paper thesis statement is one of the essential elements of a good research paper. Instructors usually have a separate grading category for the research paper thesis, so it is necessary to spend time and effort developing quality thesis sentences. Determine what is about the research study that you are writing. Research paper thesis statements are declarative statements about what you will or have found in your research study. Before writing your thesis statement, come up with a generalized statement that you want your readers to learn by reading your research paper. The rest of your research paper will defend your thesis statement. In your thesis statement sentences, make sure to include the topics of the body paragraphs that are in your research paper. The thesis statements should be accurate and include only the points that you cover in your research paper. If your research paper thesis statement is longer than one sentence, you should shorten it. The thesis statement should not be more than two short sentences to support your research study topic. I will give only partial credit if a thesis statement sentence is too long and ambiguous. After you have written a concise, declarative research paper thesis statement, please place it in the introduction paragraph. Use a transition sentence after the thesis statement to flow from the opening section to the first body paragraph.
