HIST 490G and MDVL 490A: Instructions for Writing the Research Paper
Your Research Paper must be 4000-5000 words, based on any appropriate assigned readings and additional sources
from your research. Your topic and working bibliography must be approved for your final paper to be accepted and
marked. If you have major difficulties at any stage along the way, please talk to me about it so that we can deal with
the problem in an equitable and reasonable way so that you can do your best work in an atmosphere of fairness.
Topic and Working Bibliography Due @ Session 7
Explain your topic in one or more sentences (fewer than 100 words) at the top of the page. This is not your thesis, but
the focus and scope of your investigation – the question you are seeking to answer. This may change as you discover
you need to narrow or widen the context of your research.
Your working bibliography MUST:
1) include all pertinent primary sources assigned in this course;
2) include additional primary sources appropriate and sufficient for your topic;
3) cite at least a dozen secondary sources consisting of scholarly articles from academic journals and collections
as well as historical monographs (a book on a particular historical topic based on the author’s own research into
the primary documents) that have adequate footnotes citing their sources. Look for recent scholarship. Most
secondary sources should be published after 1970.
4) have explicit annotations, if the nature of the source (whether it is primary or secondary) and its relation to
your paper are not obvious. (Cite particular articles in a collection such as Medieval Families individually.)
5) be formatted according to Turabian-Chicago Style.
6) be stapled with your name as well as course and section numbers in the heading.
