  3. Transitions.

  4. Citations.



  5. Style and Format.

  6. Content and Argument Structure.

    Reminder: the content portion of the paper is the main part. If your form is okay, then your content section will be able to concentrate on convincing the reader of your position. If other things are not clear, it will be hard to see what it is you are trying to do. Regarding the structure of arguments (evidence, warrants, etc.) see Booth, Colomb and Williams (1995).

  7. Summary and Conclusion
