What is Kantz’s view in writing an effective research paper?

A research paper must have the topic in which anybody can argue about and your audience can understand what side you are in. Choosing a topic is an important part to writing a research paper because it is what a writer feels they can discuss and know they will provide knowledge of their own. Also, finding as many helpful sources possible based on the topic will build proof and persuasion into an argument.
The argumentative paper needs sources as evidence for an argument. Such evidence mostly involves quotes. This helps the writer apply to ethos, pathos, or logos depending on where the quotes come from. Most people refer to a direct citation coming from books because; usually books are what provide enough information to what one argues. A writer may strengthen their paper by applying to ethos when quoting a person considered famous for having the knowledge of a certain topic because the audience can see that the person provides proof to the writer’s argument. However, the writer must be precautious of where they are getting the sources from because the sources’ author should be known for what he/she is in favor of.
Yet, when looking for sources, they must not be read as a narrative because it will lead to a misunderstanding on what one is arguing. The main point to writing a strong research paper is by having information well-proven by quotes that do not simply state the fact but what has already tried to be proved before. When integrating a quote, it does not necessarily need to be paraphrased but described in detail for better support, forming an informative paragraph. The paragraphs must be connected by keeping the genuine argument and maintaining a direct and persuasive style of writing.
The Kantz’s main view in writing an effective research paper is behind the sources and how they are explained. The sources must be descriptive, persuasive, and supportive for the reader to understand the writer’s purpose in favoring their argument.
