How do we know why North Korea invaded South Korea? How do we know why the U.S. decided to invade Iraq? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe know the answers to these questions because political science scholars did in-depth research and shared their findings. Conducting, presenting, and publishing research are all integral parts of being a political scientist. Students in political science courses are exposed to the research done by scholars. In turn, professors would like their students to become part of this community of scholars and will assign research papers so that students can demonstrate their knowledge of specific topics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn indispensable resource, \u003cem\u003eResearch and Writing Guide for Political Science\u003c\/em\u003e provides a brief primer on the basic skills required for writing an effective research paper.
