Most papers are written in the present tense. A research proposal is written in the future tense. Remember, the tense of all subjects and verbs must match. It is not an appropriate subject for a sentence. The word it may be used occasionally, but should be avoided when possible.
Every paper needs a conclusion or summary.
This is a brief restating of the major theme of the paper. It allows the reader to remember what the author was emphasizing in the paper. If more that 10 words are quoted, the quote is indented in the body of the paragraph. Permission from the publisher of the work is required for quotes of longer than 20 words. Multiple quotes in a single paragraph, or in consecutive paragraphs are difficult to read.
