The Good Paper International Edition: A Handbook for Writing Papers in Higher Education

The international edition of The Good Paper is a handbook for students in higher education programs who are writing BA dissertations, masters' theses, project reports, research papers, or other essays. The book is written for students who must independently formulate a research question and search for the required literature for their research papers. The book includes numerous annotated examples of good papers coming from university and professional bachelor programs. It also provides activities along with necessary explanations. The Good Paper's view is that the research paper is a genre that cuts across fields and disciplines. This genre has five fundamental guiding elements which can be illustrated by a pentagon model: 1) the research question, 2) the purpose, 3) the data, materials, and phenomena, 4) the theories, concepts, and methods, and 5) the research design.
