Writing Tips
Taking Notes For Research
1. Organize Notes. Regardless of whether you use index cards or a notebook, keep all of
your notes stored in one, easy‐to‐find location. Date each note, and name your source.
Color coding notes for ideas or sections of your research, for example a blue title for any
information on The Boston Tea Party, and a red title for the Battle of Lexington and
Concord will help keep your ideas organized as well.
2. Write one idea heading or quote on each note card or page. This helps with organizing
ideas or points you want to address in your research paper. Is the quote important?
Does it help you understand the topic of research? Be sure the answer to both questions
is yes. If not, don’t use the quote.
3. Write down all source information for citing. This includes the title, the page numbers,
the author and/or editor, the year of publication, the publisher, and the city of
publication. This is essential information for bibliographies, and if you note it now, it will
save you a lot of frustration and time hunting for this information.
4. Always use quotation marks around direct quotes from a work, to keep from
unintentionally plagiarizing. (link to plagiarism article) Also mark the author of a quote,
whether it’s a researcher or a literary character.
