I have already written the Abstract which was approved by my professor. In addition, I typed up the bibliography, however, he wants me to add six more citations that are scholarly academic reviews and they must include the volume, issue, and page numbers. Moreover, he wants the paper to be written in the format that is in the book, “Writing a Research Paper in Political: A Practical Guide to Inquiry, Structure, and Methods,” 4th Edition by Lisa Baglione. This research paper must be at least 5,000 words. But I already have some parts typed.
Please include the following:
According to Lisa B., who wrote “How to Write a Political Research Paper,” 4th edition, the components of a political research paper are:
1. Introduction: This section should introduce the topic, provide background information, and explain the purpose of the paper. The introduction should also include a thesis statement that clearly states the main argument of the paper.
2. Literature Review: This section should review relevant literature on the topic, including academic articles, books, and other sources. The literature review should identify key debates and gaps in the literature.
3. Research Methods: This section should explain the research methods used to gather data and information. It should include a discussion of the sources of data, the data collection techniques used, and any statistical methods used to analyze the data.
4. Results: This section should present the results of the research, including any tables, graphs, or figures used to illustrate the findings. The results should be clearly and concisely presented and should be directly related to the research question and hypothesis.
5. Discussion: This section should interpret the results of the research and relate them to the literature reviewed in the earlier section. The discussion should also identify the limitations of the research and suggest avenues for future research.
6. Conclusion: This section should summarize the main findings of the research and restate the thesis statement. The conclusion should also highlight the significance of the research and suggest implications for policy or future research.
7. References: This section should list all sources cited in the paper using a consistent citation style, APA only
Below preliminary abstract that I already submitted:
Title Page : What is the Impact of International Climate Agreements on Carbon Emissions?
Preliminary Abstract:
Climate change has become a significant threat to the world as levels of carbon emissions have risen. Increased natural disasters and rising sea-levels are just some of the problems resulting from climate change. Climate change is a global challenge that requires international cooperation working together to come up with an attainable solution. Climate change is a major treat to the planet, and greenhouse gas emissions are the main culprit. Currently, with the increasing levels of carbon emissions in the atmosphere, global warming is a consistent problem. The concern about climate change has led to the creation of international climate agreements among nations. International climate agreements are critical in addressing climate change and it is one of the most pressing challenges in the world. International climate agreements have been implemented as one of the measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, it is unclear whether these agreements have been effective in reducing the ongoing problem of global carbon emissions. This paper examines the impact of international climate agreements on carbon emissions by reviewing and analyzing the existing literature. The research employs both theoretical and empirical analyses to investigate the relationship between carbon emissions and international climate agreements. The findings of the study indicate that international climate agreements have had an impact on carbon emissions, although the effectiveness of these agreements showed differences among case studies. In addition, this research paper will identify some of the key factors that will determine the success of international climate agreements in the reduction of carbon emissions.
Next is the Bibliography which will still need six more academic scholarly peer reviews to include the volume, issue, and page numbers.
