Xian Li's blog assignment 8
I have written some research paper before and have some basic idea about what an engineering research paper looks like. I remembered Hongchu talked about the difference between engineer research paper and the APA or MLA principle in class. Actually it is the same as what I have found. In our research paper, all the references are listed with a sequential number in front of each reference. The cited journal papers, conference papers, and web links have almost the same format. In our own paper, if necessary to cite the idea of another paper, we only need to provide the number of the corresponding reference and put it in parenthesis. There is no need to provide the exact page number or section number. This style is widely used in Press like Springer and IEEE, ACM .etc. Therefore, I find the APA and MLP style a little complicated than what I know before.

A research paper requirs some typical formats. If someone does not have any experience to write a research paper, he could be harder for him to follow the format rather than it is for him to actually write. In addition, a research paper should contain a lot of information datum related to subject and writer's own analytical interpretation. Therefore, it is not simple to write a research paper. We need to understand the typicai formats and practice how to collect material and evaluate the data critically
