feature_pencilpaper

One of the hardest parts of writing a research paper can be just finding a good topic to write about. Fortunately we've done the hard work for you and have compiled a list of 113 interesting research paper topics. They've been organized into ten categories and cover a wide range of subjects so you can easily find the best topic for you.

In addition to the list of good research topics, we've included advice on what makes a good research paper topic and how you can use your topic to start writing a great paper.

What Makes a Good Research Paper Topic?

Not all research paper topics are created equal, and you want to make sure you choose a great topic before you start writing. Below are the three most important factors to consider to make sure you choose the best research paper topics.

#1: It's Something You're Interested In

A paper is always easier to write if you're interested in the topic, and you'll be more motivated to do in-depth research and write a paper that really covers the entire subject. Even if a certain research paper topic is getting a lot of buzz right now or other people seem interested in writing about it, don't feel tempted to make it your topic unless you genuinely have some sort of interest in it as well.

#2: There's Enough Information to Write a Paper

Even if you come up with the absolute best research paper topic and you're so excited to write about it, you won't be able to produce a good paper if there isn't enough research about the topic. This can happen for very specific or specialized topics, as well as topics that are too new to have enough research done on them at the moment. Easy research paper topics will always be topics with enough information to write a full-length paper.

Trying to write a research paper on a topic that doesn't have much research on it is incredibly hard, so before you decide on a topic, do a bit of preliminary searching and make sure you'll have all the information you need to write your paper.

#3: It Fits Your Teacher's Guidelines

Don't get so carried away looking at lists of research paper topics that you forget any requirements or restrictions your teacher may have put on research topic ideas. If you're writing a research paper on a health-related topic, deciding to write about the impact of rap on the music scene probably won't be allowed, but there may be some sort of leeway. For example, if you're really interested in current events but your teacher wants you to write a research paper on a history topic, you may be able to choose a topic that fits both categories, like exploring the relationship between the US and North Korea. No matter what, always get your research paper topic approved by your teacher first before you begin writing.

113 Good Research Paper Topics

Below are 113 good research topics to help you get you started on your paper. We've organized them into ten categories to make it easier to find the type of research paper topics you're looking for.

How to Write a Great Research Paper

Even great research paper topics won't give you a great research paper if you don't hone your topic before and during the writing process. Follow these three tips to turn good research paper topics into great papers.

#1: Figure Out Your Thesis Early

Before you start writing a single word of your paper, you first need to know what your thesis will be. Your thesis is a statement that explains what you intend to prove/show in your paper. Every sentence in your research paper will relate back to your thesis, so you don't want to start writing without it!

As some examples, if you're writing a research paper on if students learn better in same-sex classrooms, your thesis might be "Research has shown that elementary-age students in same-sex classrooms score higher on standardized tests and report feeling more comfortable in the classroom."

If you're writing a paper on the causes of the Civil War, your thesis might be "While the dispute between the North and South over slavery is the most well-known cause of the Civil War, other key causes include differences in the economies of the North and South, states' rights, and territorial expansion."

#2: Back Every Statement Up With Research

Remember, this is a research paper you're writing, so you'll need to use lots of research to make your points. Every statement you give must be backed up with research, properly cited the way your teacher requested. You're allowed to include opinions of your own, but they must also be supported by the research you give.

#3: Do Your Research Before You Begin Writing

You don't want to start writing your research paper and then learn that there isn't enough research to back up the points you're making, or, even worse, that the research contradicts the points you're trying to make!

Get most of your research on your good research topics done before you begin writing. Then use the research you've collected to create a rough outline of what your paper will cover and the key points you're going to make. This will help keep your paper clear and organized, and it'll ensure you have enough research to produce a strong paper.

What is a research paper?

In order to write a good research paper, it’s important to know what it is! 

In general, we can divide academic writing into three broad categories:

  • Analytical: analyze the tools an author uses to make their point
  • Research: delve deeply into a research topic and share your findings
  • Persuasive : argue a specific and nuanced position backed by evidence

What’s the difference between an analytical paper and a research paper? For an analytical paper, it’s okay to just use one or two sources (a book, poem, work of art, piece of music, etc.) and examine them in detail. For a research paper, however, the expectation is that you do, well . . . research .

student writing research paper

The depth of research that you’re expected to do will depend on your age and the type of class you’re taking.

In elementary or middle school, a “research paper” might mean finding information from a few general books or encyclopedias in your school library. 

In high school, your teachers might expect you to start using information from academic articles and more specific books. You might use encyclopedias and general works as a starting point, but you’ll be expected to go beyond them and do more work to synthesize information from different perspectives or different types of sources. You may also be expected to do “primary research,” where you study the source material yourself, instead of synthesizing what other people have written about the source material.

In college, you’ll be required to use academic journals and scholarly books, and your professors will now expect that you be more critical of these secondary sources, noticing the methodology and perspectives of whatever articles and books you’re using. 

In more advanced college courses, you’ll be expected to do more exhaustive surveys of the existing literature on a topic. You’ll need to conduct primary research that makes an original contribution to the field—the kind that could be published in a journal article itself.

What makes a good research paper topic?

One of the most important features of a research paper topic is that it has a clear, narrow focus. 

For example, your teacher may assign you to write a research paper related to the US Revolutionary War. Does that mean that your topic should be “the US Revolutionary War”? 

Definitely not! There’s no way to craft a good paper with in-depth research with such a broad topic. (Unless you’re in elementary or middle school, in which case it’s okay to have a more general topic for your research paper.)

Instead, you need to find a more specific topic within this broader one. There are endless ways that you can make this narrower! Some ideas generated from this one broader topic might be:

  • Causes of the US Revolutionary War
  • Changes in military strategy during the Revolutionary War
  • The experiences of Loyalists to England who remained in the American colonies during the Revolutionary War
  • How the Revolutionary War was pivotal for the career of Alexander Hamilton
  • The role of alliances with France during the US Revolutionary War
  • The experiences of people of color during the Revolutionary War
  • How George Washington’s previous military career paved the way for his leadership in the Revolutionary War
  • The main types of weaponry during the Revolutionary War
  • Changes in clothing and fashion over the courses of the Revolutionary War
  • How Valley Forge was a key moment in the Revolutionary War
  • How women contributed to the Revolutionary War
  • What happened in Amherst, Massachusetts during the Revolutionary War
  • Field medicine during the Revolutionary War
  • How the Battle of Saratoga was a turning point in the Revolutionary War
  • How different opinions about the Revolutionary War were reflected in poetry written during that time
  • Debates over abolition during the Revolutionary War
  • The importance of supply chains during the Revolutionary War
  • Reactions to the US Revolutionary war in Europe
  • How the US Revolutionary war impacted political theory in England and France
  • Similarities and differences between the US Revolutionary War and the French Revolution
  • Famous paintings inspired by the US Revolutionary War
  • Different ways that the US Revolutionary War has been depicted in modern contemporary culture
  • The appropriation of the “Boston Tea Party” by US politicians in the 2010s

This list could go on forever!

good research paper topics about the US Revolution

In fact, any of these topics could become even more specific. For example, check out the evolution of this topic:

  • Economic causes of the Revolutionary war
  • The way that tax policies helped lead to the Revolutionary War
  • How tax laws enacted 1763–1775 helped lead to the Revolutionary War
  • How the tax-free status of the British East India Company helped lead to the Revolutionary War
  • How the 1773 tax-free status of the British East India Company helped lead to the Revolutionary War, as reflected in letters written 1767–1775
  • How the 1773 tax-free status of the British East India Company helped lead to the Revolutionary War, as reflected in letters written by members of the Sons of Liberty 1767–1775

As you advance in your educational career, you’ll need to make your topic more and more specific. Steps 1–3 of this topic might be okay in high school, but for a college research paper steps 4–7 would be more appropriate!

As you craft your research paper topic, you should also keep in mind the availability of research materials on your subject. There are millions of topics that would make interesting research papers, but for which you yourself might not be able to investigate with the primary and secondary sources to which you have access.

Access to research materials might look like:

  • To the best of our knowledge, the sources exist somewhere
  • The source isn’t behind a paywall (or you or your school can pay for it)
  • Your school or local library has a copy of the source
  • Your school or local library can order a copy of the source for you
  • The source is in a language that you speak
  • The source has been published already (there’s tons of amazing research that hasn’t been published yet, a frustrating problem!)
  • You can access the archive, museum, or database where the primary source is held—this might mean online access or travel! To access a source in an archive or museum you’ll often need permission, which often requires a letter of support from your school.

If you’re not sure about access to source materials, talk to a librarian! They’re professionals for this question.

Finally, pick a research topic that interests you! Given that there are unlimited research topics in the world and many ways to adapt a broad topic, there should absolutely be a way to modify a research topic to fit your interests.

Insider tips to generate your own research paper topic

Use these formulas to generate your own research paper topics:

  • How did X change over a period of time (year, decade, century)?

  • What are the most effective policies to produce X result?
  • What are some risks of X?
  • How is our current understanding of X incorrect? (advanced)
  • What happens if we look at X through the lens of Y theory or perspective? (advanced)

A good research paper topic often starts with the question words—why, how, what, who, and where. Remember to make it as specific as possible!

  • find topics to research using web searching, news sources and library resources
  • gather background information through reference materials, web resources and other library materials
  • go beyond basic Google searching using tools like Google Scholar and accessing library databases and resources
  • cite your sources correctly

Choosing & Developing your Topic

The first step toward a successful research paper is selecting a topic that is neither too broad nor too narrow.

If you have the freedom to choose your own topic, be sure to choose a topic that will sustain your interest. Additionally, the topic should be one you can research sufficiently in the time allowed, research using the tools and resources readily available to you, read about in a language you read well, and that your professor deems suitable for your assignment.

Start with a broad topic area (this might already be decided for you as a requirement of a course) and narrow this down to select a specific topic for your paper so that you don’t waste time wading through too much information.

When deciding upon a topic, remember these three rules:

  • Decide the area you are interested in writing about  (ex:  global warming)
  • Define the topic you wish to research (ex:  effects of global warming on children)
  • Refine the topic area so that the topic is manageable - neither too large nor too small (ex: effects of global warming on children in New Zealand where the ozone is the weakest)

Deciding on a topic you'd like to write about and defining the parameters of your research is one of the most challenging and important aspects of the research process. If you need more help with this step, consult your professor or look for ideas in the research guides which have been prepared by the subject librarians.

  • Historical Figures

Are you searching for a great topic for your psychology paper ? Sometimes it seems like coming up with topics of psychology research is more challenging than the actual research and writing. Fortunately, there are plenty of great places to find inspiration and the following list contains just a few ideas to help get you started.

Finding a solid topic is one of the most important steps when writing any type of paper. It can be particularly important when you are writing a psychology research paper or essay. Psychology is such a broad topic, so you want to find a topic that allows you to adequately cover the subject without becoming overwhelmed with information.

I can always tell when a student really cares about the topic they chose; it comes through in the writing. My advice is to choose a topic that genuinely interests you, so you’ll be more motivated to do thorough research.

In some cases, such as in a general psychology class, you might have the option to select any topic from within psychology's broad reach. Other instances, such as in an  abnormal psychology  course, might require you to write your paper on a specific subject such as a psychological disorder.

As you begin your search for a topic for your psychology paper, it is first important to consider the guidelines established by your instructor.

Research Topics Within Specific Branches of Psychology

The key to selecting a good topic for your psychology paper is to select something that is narrow enough to allow you to really focus on the subject, but not so narrow that it is difficult to find sources or information to write about.

One approach is to narrow your focus down to a subject within a specific branch of psychology. For example, you might start by deciding that you want to write a paper on some sort of social psychology topic. Next, you might narrow your focus down to how persuasion can be used to influence behavior .

Other social psychology topics you might consider include:

  • Prejudice and discrimination (i.e., homophobia, sexism, racism)
  • Social cognition
  • Person perception
  • Social control and cults
  • Persuasion, propaganda, and marketing
  • Attraction, romance, and love
  • Nonverbal communication
  • Prosocial behavior

Psychology Research Topics Involving a Disorder or Type of Therapy

Exploring a psychological disorder or a specific treatment modality can also be a good topic for a psychology paper. Some potential abnormal psychology topics include specific psychological disorders or particular treatment modalities, including:

  • Eating disorders
  • Borderline personality disorder
  • Seasonal affective disorder
  • Schizophrenia
  • Antisocial personality disorder
  • Profile a  type of therapy  (i.e., cognitive-behavioral therapy, group therapy, psychoanalytic therapy)

Topics of Psychology Research Related to Human Cognition

Some of the possible topics you might explore in this area include thinking, language, intelligence, and decision-making. Other ideas might include:

  • False memories
  • Speech disorders
  • Problem-solving

Topics of Psychology Research Related to Human Development

In this area, you might opt to focus on issues pertinent to  early childhood  such as language development, social learning, or childhood attachment or you might instead opt to concentrate on issues that affect older adults such as dementia or Alzheimer's disease.

Some other topics you might consider include:

  • Language acquisition
  • Media violence and children
  • Learning disabilities
  • Gender roles
  • Child abuse
  • Prenatal development
  • Parenting styles
  • Aspects of the aging process

Do a Critique of Publications Involving Psychology Research Topics

One option is to consider writing a critique paper of a published psychology book or academic journal article. For example, you might write a critical analysis of Sigmund Freud's Interpretation of Dreams or you might evaluate a more recent book such as Philip Zimbardo's  The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil .

Professional and academic journals are also great places to find materials for a critique paper. Browse through the collection at your university library to find titles devoted to the subject that you are most interested in, then look through recent articles until you find one that grabs your attention.

Topics of Psychology Research Related to Famous Experiments

There have been many fascinating and groundbreaking experiments throughout the history of psychology, providing ample material for students looking for an interesting term paper topic. In your paper, you might choose to summarize the experiment, analyze the ethics of the research, or evaluate the implications of the study. Possible experiments that you might consider include:

  • The Milgram Obedience Experiment
  • The Stanford Prison Experiment
  • The Little Albert Experiment
  • Pavlov's Conditioning Experiments
  • The Asch Conformity Experiment
  • Harlow's Rhesus Monkey Experiments

Topics of Psychology Research About Historical Figures

One of the simplest ways to find a great topic is to choose an interesting person in the  history of psychology  and write a paper about them. Your paper might focus on many different elements of the individual's life, such as their biography, professional history, theories, or influence on psychology.

While this type of paper may be historical in nature, there is no need for this assignment to be dry or boring. Psychology is full of fascinating figures rife with intriguing stories and anecdotes. Consider such famous individuals as Sigmund Freud, B.F. Skinner, Harry Harlow, or one of the many other  eminent psychologists .

Psychology Research Topics About a Specific Career

​Another possible topic, depending on the course in which you are enrolled, is to write about specific career paths within the  field of psychology . This type of paper is especially appropriate if you are exploring different subtopics or considering which area interests you the most.

In your paper, you might opt to explore the typical duties of a psychologist, how much people working in these fields typically earn, and the different employment options that are available.

Topics of Psychology Research Involving Case Studies

One potentially interesting idea is to write a  psychology case study  of a particular individual or group of people. In this type of paper, you will provide an in-depth analysis of your subject, including a thorough biography.

Generally, you will also assess the person, often using a major psychological theory such as  Piaget's stages of cognitive development  or  Erikson's eight-stage theory of human development . It is also important to note that your paper doesn't necessarily have to be about someone you know personally.

In fact, many professors encourage students to write case studies on historical figures or fictional characters from books, television programs, or films.

Psychology Research Topics Involving Literature Reviews

Another possibility that would work well for a number of psychology courses is to do a literature review of a specific topic within psychology. A literature review involves finding a variety of sources on a particular subject, then summarizing and reporting on what these sources have to say about the topic.

Literature reviews are generally found in the  introduction  of journal articles and other  psychology papers , but this type of analysis also works well for a full-scale psychology term paper.

Topics of Psychology Research Based on Your Own Study or Experiment

Many psychology courses require students to design an actual psychological study or perform some type of experiment. In some cases, students simply devise the study and then imagine the possible results that might occur. In other situations, you may actually have the opportunity to collect data, analyze your findings, and write up your results.

Finding a topic for your study can be difficult, but there are plenty of great ways to come up with intriguing ideas. Start by considering your own interests as well as subjects you have studied in the past.

Online sources, newspaper articles, books , journal articles, and even your own class textbook are all great places to start searching for topics for your experiments and psychology term papers. Before you begin, learn more about  how to conduct a psychology experiment .

What This Means For You

After looking at this brief list of possible topics for psychology papers, it is easy to see that psychology is a very broad and diverse subject. While this variety makes it possible to find a topic that really catches your interest, it can sometimes make it very difficult for some students to select a good topic.

If you are still stumped by your assignment, ask your instructor for suggestions and consider a few from this list for inspiration.

How to Choose a Good Research Paper Topic?

While it may seem challenging to come up with a good research paper topic as you try your best to narrow things down, the trick is to choose something that influences you because you know it well and can support your arguments with relevant evidence. The subject should be well-structured and relevant to your thesis statement. Always take time to research the list of sources to compose your topic sentences as well to make them relate to your thesis part. It’s always best to check a good research paper introduction example before you start working on the paper and choosing your topic, or contact our essay writing service for help. Here are the steps to consider:

  • Start With Observing Your Interests.

If you are confused with a variety of interesting topics for writing a creative essay, it’s better to decide what interests you the most. Don’t stick to easy research paper topics just to complete the task fast. If you are allowed to freely choose what to write an essay about, use the opportunity to create something unique. Write down the list of your interests and break down every idea into small certain topics. When you have a list in front of your eyes, it will be easier to make up your mind and start considering a particular issue.

Then you should examine what aspect of the topic is preferable for you to outline in your research paper. A list will save you here again. Use pros/cons template to include all the arguments and objections to the issues.

  • Come Up With an Argumentative Research Question.

The most challenging part of choosing a competitive research paper topic is finding an aspect that poses some importance for your course and the subject per se. While it may seem that it is sufficient to make a general statement, your argumentation should include a clear research question. Consider asking yourself why you have chosen a particular topic and how your research will make it clearer or provide innovative solutions.

  • Study Available Research Topic Ideas.

Since we have already mentioned the dangers of choosing something too broad, it is vital to narrow things down and brainstorm the list of possible research paper ideas that deal with the same subject. In other words, you can write down at least five different subjects and see whether you can find sufficient information to support them with the sources or statistical data. Remember the importance of your topic’s wording!

  • Compose Strong Thesis Statement.

It must be done at the same time as you choose your research paper topic because these two concepts must be interconnected. Your subject must reflect your main idea of the thesis statement. Make sure that you have the list of sources prepared in advance to incorporate relevant information in your body paragraphs. As always, they must be the supporting evidence for your thesis statement’s idea and the research purpose.

Samuel Gorbold

For numerous students, this academic writing poses a significant challenge. Regardless of whether you're in high school or college, there inevitably arrives a moment when writing a research paper becomes a hurdle. Whereas producing research papers may appear daunting, for many, the true hindrance lies in selecting a suitable topic.

How to Choose a Topic for a Research Paper?

Selecting a theme for a research paper involves considering both personal interests and the academic relevance of the subject. Use a custom research paper writing service , or begin by exploring areas that genuinely captivate your curiosity if you want to work on the assignment purely on your own. Simultaneously, assess the feasibility of the subject, ensuring there is enough scholarly literature available to support a comprehensive investigation. Strike a balance between a thesis that is broad enough to offer diverse perspectives but focused enough to allow for in-depth analysis within the scope of the paper. Here are four main tips for selecting the best research paper topics:

Identify Your Interests

Consider questions that genuinely interest you. Your enthusiasm for the theme will make the research and writing process more enjoyable and engagingIf the paper allows flexibility, narrow down the scope of your research. Focused and specific research is often more manageable and allows for in-depth explorationEnsure that your chosen problem aligns with the guidelines provided by your instructor. Clarify any specific requirements or restrictions regarding the subject matter if you want to create interesting research paper topics. Consider current events or issues in your field of study. Researching contemporary points can add relevance and significance to your paper.

Conduct Preliminary Research

Browse academic journals, books, papers, and reputable websites to get an overview of potential motifs.

Seek Inspiration from Course Material

Think about your target audience as well. Tailor your topic to suit the interests and expectations of your readers, whether they are your peers, instructors, or a broader academic audience.

Produce an Engaging Thesis Statement

Formulate a thesis that is debatable and allows for differing interpretations. A strong thesis will spark discussion and invite readers to engage with your perspective rather than presenting an indisputable fact. A paper thesis should be a thought-provoking assertion that encourages readers to examine and challenge their own beliefs critically. By adopting a debatable stance, one opens the door to a rich dialogue where diverse perspectives can be explored.

You've just been assigned by your instructor to write a paper on a topic. Relax, this isn't going to be as bad as it seems. You just need to get started. Here are some suggestions to make the process as painless as possible. Remember, if you have any questions ASK .

Is the assignment a formal research paper where you have to do research and cite other sources of information, or is the assignment asking you for your reaction to a particular topic where all you will need to do is collect your thoughts and organize them coherently. If you do need to research your topic, make sure you know what style manual your instructor prefers (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc).

Make sure you keep track of any restrictions that your instructor places on you. If your instructor wants a 4 page paper, they won't be happy with a 2 page paper, or a 10 page paper. Keep in mind that the instructor knows roughly how long it should take to cover the topic. If your paper is too short, you probably aren't looking at enough materials. If you paper is too long, you need to narrow your topic. Also, many times the instructor may restrict you to certain types of resources (books written after 1946, scholarly journals, no web sites). You don't want to automatically lessen your grade by not following the rules. Remember the key rule, if you have any questions ask your instructor!

You will also need to know which audience that you are writing for. Are you writing to an audience that knows nothing about your topic? If so you will need to write in such a way that you paper makes sense, and can be understood by these people. If your paper is geared to peers who have a similar background of information you won't need to include that type of information. If your paper is for experts in the field, you won't need to include background information.

If you're lucky, you were given a narrow topic by your instructor. You may not be interested in your topic, but you can be reasonably sure that the topic isn't too broad. Most of you aren't going to be that lucky. Your instructor gave you a broad topic, or no topic at all and you are going to have to choose the specific topic for your paper.

There are some general rules that you can use to help choose and narrow a topic. Does a particular topic interest you? If you are excited by a particular field, choose a topic from that field. While doing research you will learn more about the field, and learn which journals are written for your topic. Are you answering a relevant question? You and your instructor are going to be bored if you are writing a paper on the hazards of drunken driving. However, it might be more interesting to write about what causes people to drink and drive. The more interesting your topic the more you will enjoy and learn from writing your paper. You may also want to focus on a specific point of view about the topic, such as what teenagers think the causes of drunken driving are.

Do General Research

Now that you have a topic, it is time to start doing research. Don't jump to the card catalog and the indexes yet. The first research that you want to do is some general research on your topic. Find out what some of the terms used in the field are. You will also find that this research can help you further define you topic.

One source of general research is a general encyclopedia. Depending on the encyclopedia, at the end of each entry there may be a bibliography of suggested works. Good encyclopedias to consult are Encyclopedia Britannica , Encyclopedia Americana, and World Book.

You will also want to check to see if your topic is in a field that has a subject Encyclopedia, a Subject Handbook, or a Subject Dictionary. These guides contain information about a wide variety of topics inside a specific field. Generally the information in more detailed that what is contained in a general encyclopedia. Also the bibliographies are more extensive.

Find further information

Now that we have some background information on our topic; we need to find information about our specific topic. Before searching, ask yourself what type of information you are looking for. If you want to find statistical information, you will need to look in certain types of sources. If you are looking for news accounts of an event, you will need to look in other types of sources. Remember, if you have a question about what type of source to use, ask a librarian.

Have you asked your instructor for suggestions on where to look? Why not? This person is experienced in the field, and they have been doing research in it longer than you have. They can recommend authors who write on your topic, and they can recommend a short list of journals that may contain information on your topic.

Books are one type of resource that you can use for your research. To find a book on your topic, you will need to use the online catalog, the CamelCat . Taking the list of keywords that you created while doing general research, do keyword searches in the catalog. Look at the titles that are being returned, do any look promising? If none do, revise your search using other keywords. If one does, look at the full record for that book. Check the subject headings that it is cataloged by. If one of those headings looks pertinent to your research, do a subject search using that particular heading.

Once you've got the books that you want to use start evaluating whether the book will be useful. Is it written by an author who is knowledgeable about that particular topic? Is the author qualified to write about the topic? What biases does the author have about the topic? Is the book current enough to contain useful information?

Once you've answered these questions, use the books that you deem useful for your research. Remember while taking notes to get the information that you need to do a proper citation. Also, pay attention to any bibliographies that are included in the book. These can help you locate other books and articles that may be useful for your research.

The Campbell University Libraries subscribe to a wide variety of Indexes and Journals for the use of students and faculty. Increasingly these materials are provided as Electronic Databases. These databases contain citations of articles and in some cases the full text of articles on a variety of topics. If you don't know which database will be useful for you, ask a librarian and they will be happy to assist you. You can also use the Find Articles link to search multiple databases at one time for information on your topic.

Once you've selected a database to use, use the keywords that you developed from your general research to find articles that will be useful for you. Once you've found one, see which terms the database used to catalog the article and use those terms to find more articles. Don't forget to set limits on the database so that only scholarly articles are returned if your instructor has made that a requirement for your paper.

Look at the journal articles that you have selected, and examine the bibliographies. Are there any authors that are mentioned in more than one article? Are there any articles that are mentioned more than once? You should find those authors and articles and include them in your research.

There are other useful sources that you can use in your research. If your report tends to be on a business topic or if you need company information for your research there are many companies that provide company reports. The contents of these reports differ, depending on which service that you are using. Generally speaking you will find company officers, financial statements, lists of competitors, and stock price.

The Internet is another source for information on a variety of topics. The major problem with the using Internet resources is authority. Anybody who knows HTML can produce a web site that looks pretty decent. However, a website produced by a sophomore in high school on a topic is not going to be useful to you in your research. Before using a website for information, you need to evaluate the site. Here are some questions you will want to ask: Who created the site? (If you can't tell, don't use it.) Has the site been recently updated? Is the site promoting a specific agenda/ does it have a bias? (Bias isn't necessarily bad, but you need to keep it in mind when interpreting the information presented?) Are there any misspellings on the site? (If there is one misspelling careless error more than three, don't use the page) Do the links on the page work? (If a few don't work, not a big problem, if most of the links don't work, the site isn't being maintained, and should not be used.)

You have all of your research, now it is time to write the paper. Don't forget to cite all of the research that you have collected using the preferred citation style of your instructor. If possible try to give yourself a couple of days to let the paper sit before you edit it. Look at a hard copy of the paper and check for mechanical errors (spelling, punctuation). Also try to imagine that you are the intended audience for the paper. Does your paper make sense? Are the arguments logical? Does the evidence presented support the arguments made? If you answered no to any of these questions, make the necessary changes to your paper.

Research on children’s body proportions: determining the canon of head length to total body height on the example of children aged 2 to 15 years.

contemporary topics for research paper

1. Introduction

1.1. previous studies of the canons and proportions of the human body, 1.2. the aim of the study.

  • The canons between 5 HL and 7.5 HL for children of kindergarten and primary school age obtained throughout history are still valid today.
  • It is possible to establish a unique canon for children of kindergarten and primary school age (2 to 15 years), which would be used as an aid in the design of various products for children.
  • It is possible to determine the grounds for creating an anthropological–biomechanical model, which can be used to determine other anthropometric variables.

2. Materials and Methods

2.1. cities/countries, 2.2. participants, 2.2.1. preschool children, 2.2.2. school children, 2.3. anthropometric variables measured.

  • The Altmeter was used for body height measurements, dimensions from 0 to 2000 mm [ 30 ];
  • The Calliper was used for the head length measurements [ 31 ] (the shubler mehanická) 16090014//—from 0 to 600 mm, with calibration sheet “č. P540/16”, with an error margin of ±0.02 mm.

2.4. Ethical Approval and Permission for Conducting the Research

2.5. statistical methods, 4. discussion.

  • The existing data established in research [ 5 , 6 , 21 , 24 ] on the canon (ratio) of children’s head length (HL) to total body height (BH) coincide with the results of our research, which range from 5.59 and 5.72 (2-year-old girls and boys) to 7.50 and 7.60 (15-year-old boys and girls), depending on age and gender.
  • Compared to existing data from the literature ( Table 6 ), the canon has increased with regard to the observed age of children, which confirms the secular trends of the past 100 years.
  • Observing the growth and development of a child’s body in relation to an adult, it is obvious that the corresponding canons change faster with age.
  • Although the canons for boys and the girls of the same age are similar, they must be observed separately.
  • Studies should consider not only the age and gender, but also the origin, nationality, and other sociodemographic parameters of the child in future research.

Constitutional Law: Exploring the Range of Research Paper Topics

Constitutional law is a foundational pillar of any legal system, shaping the fundamental principles that govern a nation. As the bedrock of rights, liberties, and governmental structures, constitutional law plays a crucial role in safeguarding individual freedoms, promoting social justice, and upholding the rule of law. This field of law is dynamic and constantly evolving, with new challenges and complexities emerging in the face of societal changes, technological advancements, and global developments. For students of law, delving into the realm of constitutional law offers an exciting opportunity to explore a vast range of research paper topics that are not only intellectually stimulating but also highly relevant to contemporary legal and societal issues.

Historical Foundations of Constitutional Law

To understand the present, one must study the past. Exploring the historical foundations of constitutional law offers valuable insights into the evolution of legal systems, the drafting of constitutions, and the shaping of early governmental structures. Topics in this category could include the Magna Carta’s influence on constitutional principles, the American Revolution’s impact on constitutionalism, or the role of historical legal documents in modern constitutional interpretation.

Comparative constitutional law examines the constitutions of different countries, identifying similarities and differences in their legal frameworks. Students can explore how diverse legal systems address common challenges, such as human rights protection, separation of powers, and federalism. Topics may encompass a comparison of constitutional rights in different jurisdictions, the impact of cultural factors on constitutional design, or the role of international law in influencing domestic constitutions.

Constitutional Interpretation and Judicial Review

Constitutional interpretation is a complex and fundamental aspect of constitutional law. Analyzing how courts interpret constitutional provisions and exercise judicial review is a topic of immense scholarly interest. Students can delve into landmark court cases that have shaped constitutional jurisprudence, examine different methods of interpretation (textualism, originalism, living constitution), and assess the judiciary’s role in balancing individual rights and government interests.

Protection of Fundamental Rights and Liberties

Constitutional law places a strong emphasis on safeguarding individual rights and liberties. Students can explore specific rights, such as freedom of speech, privacy, or equality, and analyze how courts balance these rights against competing societal interests. Topics may include the tension between free speech and hate speech regulations, the right to privacy in the digital age, or the constitutionality of affirmative action policies.

Constitutionalism and Rule of Law

Constitutionalism is the principle that the government’s powers should be limited by a constitution, and the rule of law ensures that all individuals, including government officials, are subject to the law’s authority. Students can explore how constitutionalism and the rule of law contribute to a stable and just society, examining the significance of constitutional supremacy and the separation of powers.

Federalism and Intergovernmental Relations

Federal systems divide power between central and regional governments. Research topics in this area may involve studying the balance of power between federal and state governments, exploring the impact of federalism on policy-making, or analyzing intergovernmental disputes.

Constitutional Amendments and Reform

Constitutions are not static documents; they can be amended or reformed to adapt to changing circumstances. Students can explore the procedures and challenges associated with constitutional amendments, analyze historical amendments, and assess the need for constitutional reforms in response to modern challenges.

Advancements in technology bring new legal challenges. Students can investigate how constitutional law addresses issues related to data privacy, surveillance, artificial intelligence, and online freedom of expression.

Constitutional law plays a critical role in promoting social justice. Topics in this category could include the constitutional implications of affirmative action, the right to education, or the right to healthcare.

Global Constitutionalism and International Law

The impact of international law on domestic constitutions and global constitutionalism is a compelling area of study. Students can examine the incorporation of international treaties into domestic law, the role of international courts in shaping constitutional jurisprudence, or the constitutional implications of global challenges like climate change.

The realm of constitutional law offers an expansive landscape of research paper topics for students to explore. From historical foundations to contemporary challenges, each topic presents an opportunity to deepen one’s understanding of constitutional principles, legal systems, and their relevance to contemporary issues. Whether delving into the protection of fundamental rights, the dynamics of federalism, or the impact of emerging technologies, students can engage in critical analysis and contribute to the ongoing discourse on constitutional law. By exploring this diverse range of research topics, students can unlock the potential of constitutional law to shape just and equitable societies while strengthening their skills as future legal scholars and practitioners.

How to Choose Constitutional Law Research Paper Topics

Selecting a research paper topic is a critical first step in the journey of writing a compelling and impactful paper in constitutional law. With the vast array of constitutional law issues to explore, students may find it challenging to narrow down their focus and identify a topic that is not only engaging but also aligns with their interests and academic goals. This section aims to provide valuable insights and practical tips on how to choose constitutional law research paper topics that will spark curiosity, foster intellectual growth, and enable students to make meaningful contributions to the field of law.

  • Identify Your Interests and Passions : Passion fuels intellectual curiosity and motivates students to delve deeper into their chosen research topic. Start by identifying the aspects of constitutional law that genuinely interest you. Whether it’s fundamental rights, the separation of powers, or constitutional amendments, selecting a topic that resonates with your interests will make the research process more enjoyable and rewarding.
  • Explore Current Legal and Social Issues : Constitutional law is continuously evolving in response to contemporary legal and social challenges. Stay up-to-date with current events and legal developments to identify pressing issues that warrant in-depth examination. Topics such as constitutional implications of technology, civil liberties during emergencies, or constitutional responses to pandemics are examples of relevant and timely research areas.
  • Review Course Materials and Textbooks : Reviewing your course materials and textbooks can provide valuable inspiration for research paper topics. Professors often highlight key constitutional law debates, landmark cases, and emerging issues in their lectures and readings. Revisiting these materials may help you identify potential research topics that build upon class discussions.
  • Consult with Professors and Legal Experts : Seeking guidance from professors and legal experts can offer valuable insights and mentorship in selecting an appropriate research topic. Professors may have expertise in specific areas of constitutional law and can provide recommendations or suggestions based on your academic strengths and interests.
  • Analyze Constitutional Court Decisions : Examining landmark constitutional court decisions can serve as a starting point for research paper topics. Analyze how courts have interpreted constitutional provisions, resolved conflicts, or addressed societal challenges. Investigating dissenting opinions can also provide a unique perspective for exploration.
  • Consider Comparative Approaches : Comparative constitutional law allows for the examination of different legal systems and how they address similar issues. You can compare constitutional approaches between countries, regions, or continents, which can yield valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of different constitutional frameworks.
  • Evaluate the Research Feasibility : Before finalizing your research topic, consider its feasibility in terms of available resources, data, and literature. Ensure that there is sufficient scholarly material to support your research and that you have access to relevant legal texts, court decisions, and academic articles.
  • Focus on Originality and Contribution : Strive for originality in your research paper topic by exploring less-trodden paths or emerging areas in constitutional law. Topics that contribute new insights, propose novel solutions, or address unexplored legal issues can stand out and make a significant impact in the field.
  • Consider Multidisciplinary Perspectives : Constitutional law intersects with various other disciplines, such as political science, sociology, economics, and history. Considering multidisciplinary perspectives can enrich your research and provide a broader context for understanding constitutional issues.
  • Refine and Narrow Down Your Topic : Once you have identified a preliminary topic, refine and narrow it down to a specific research question. A well-defined research question will guide your investigation and maintain focus throughout the writing process.

Choosing the right constitutional law research paper topic is a crucial step that requires thoughtful consideration and exploration of various avenues. By identifying your interests, analyzing current legal developments, and seeking guidance from experts, you can select a research topic that not only aligns with your passions but also contributes meaningfully to the field of constitutional law. Remember to refine and narrow down your topic, ensuring it is feasible and original, and be prepared to embark on an enriching journey of intellectual inquiry and discovery. With a well-chosen research topic, you can engage in a rewarding academic exploration and make valuable contributions to the ever-evolving field of constitutional law.

How to Write a Constitutional Law Research Paper

Writing a constitutional law research paper requires meticulous planning, critical analysis, and a thorough understanding of legal principles and arguments. A well-structured and thought-provoking research paper not only showcases your knowledge of constitutional law but also contributes to the broader legal discourse. In this section, we will provide a comprehensive guide on how to write a compelling constitutional law research paper that captures the essence of the subject and engages readers with its rigor and insights.

  • Understand the Research Requirements : Before delving into the writing process, carefully review the research paper guidelines provided by your instructor or institution. Understand the specific requirements regarding length, formatting, citation style (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.), and submission deadline. Pay attention to any specific research questions or themes your paper should address.
  • Choose a Clear and Focused Thesis : A strong research paper revolves around a clear and focused thesis statement. The thesis should succinctly convey the main argument or point of your paper. Ensure that your thesis is specific, well-defined, and supported by relevant evidence and legal analysis.
  • Conduct In-Depth Research : Constitutional law research papers require extensive research from reputable sources, including law journals, court decisions, academic books, and reputable online databases. Utilize libraries, academic databases, and online resources to gather relevant and up-to-date information.
  • Organize Your Research : Organize your research materials in a logical and coherent manner. Create an annotated bibliography or research outline to keep track of the sources you plan to use and their relevance to your thesis. This step will help you maintain focus and structure during the writing process.
  • Craft a Compelling Introduction : The introduction is the gateway to your research paper. Start with a compelling hook or a thought-provoking statement to capture readers’ attention. Provide context for your research topic, introduce your thesis, and outline the key arguments you will explore in the paper.
  • Develop a Clear and Logical Structure : A well-structured research paper ensures that your arguments flow logically and coherently. Divide your paper into sections or chapters, each focusing on a specific aspect of your thesis. Use subheadings to guide readers through different sections of the paper.
  • Analyze and Cite Legal Authorities : Constitutional law research papers rely heavily on legal authorities, including court decisions, statutes, and academic writings. Analyze the legal principles and arguments presented in these sources and use proper citation to give credit to the original authors.
  • Provide Strong Supporting Evidence : Back your arguments with solid evidence from case law, legal doctrines, and constitutional principles. Incorporate direct quotes, paraphrases, and legal analysis to support your points effectively. Avoid relying solely on secondary sources and prioritize primary legal materials.
  • Address Counterarguments : Acknowledge and address counterarguments to strengthen the credibility of your research. Anticipate potential objections to your thesis and present well-reasoned responses, demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of the subject.
  • Craft a Persuasive Conclusion : The conclusion should summarize the main findings of your research and reiterate your thesis. Offer insights into the broader implications of your research and highlight any recommendations or areas for further study.

Writing a constitutional law research paper is a demanding yet intellectually rewarding endeavor. By understanding the research requirements, choosing a focused thesis, conducting in-depth research, and crafting a logical structure, you can produce a compelling and influential paper. Remember to support your arguments with strong evidence and legal analysis, and address counterarguments to demonstrate the depth of your understanding.
