You may know how to start and end your paper well, but it's important to still use good writing skills in between.  The body paragraph should still follow the old information to new rule.  Each paragraph should start and end on the same topic.  It sounds silly, but it is important, because it not only helps keep your thoughts organized, it also helps with the flow of your paper.  Another way to help your paper flow is transition words.  Transition words help you get from one idea to the next, or they can be helpful when starting a new paragraph. Another important part of your body paragraphs is your evidence, often in the form of quotes.  Having multiple sources is important and knowing how to properly source them is equally important. That being said you can't have just quotes for your paper.  You also should include your own explanation of the quote, and how it supports your argument.  Quotes is what I most want to  improve on for my research paper, so that way I know how to properly site and use them to support my claim.  This will be important for making my research paper strong.
