Research+Reports

= = Research Reports

Below you will find the research reports for each of the topics/ issues that will be discussed in each committee. Each student officer is required to pick a topic of their choice and submit a researth report on it.

The Research Report
Each chair is expected to write a research report on his or her topic. The research report will be an indicator of the chair's knowledge on his or her topic for us. The research report will have to follow the general format of a THIMUN chair report, which a sample one will be posted below.

General Procedures for Writing a Research Report

 * 1) Determine the topic that you are going to research on. (negotiate with other chairs in your forum)
 * 2) Locate internet resources and start reading articles of the UN site, news sites, and other reliable sources. (please, please don't just use Wikipedia as your sole source)
 * 3) Write the report and upload it in the table on the Research Report page, with your name next to it. (plagiarism will be checked, so write in your own words)

The Journal

The journal is something additional to the research report, as a method to keep each chair on track with their topic. The journal will record any additional articles, changes, or UN/Nation/Organization actions enforced on the issue. Each chair is required to write a minimum of THREE journals, and posted on a new Journal page that is linked to the table on the Journal page.

General Procedures for the Journal

 * 1) Complete your research report
 * 2) Locate internet resources (specifically the UN site and News sites), and track changes, or any other current events related to your topic.
 * 3) Read the articles, and write a summery along with a report on the article, current event, or change.
 * 4) Create a new Journal page, with the page name as the Chair's name, and link it to the table on the "Applicant Journals" page.
 * 5) Write the Journal in the page, along with the date and source.

Important Aspects of the Journal

 * 1) The Journal CANNOT be just simply copy and pasted from an article
 * 2) The Journal has to contain the researcher's own views and interpretations on the article
 * 3) The Journal has to be AT LEAST 300 words
 * 4) The Journal will can only provide a BRIEF summery of the article in the researcher's own words
 * 5) The Journal has to provide the date or completion for each entry, and the link to the article(s) that the researcher used.
