“Write a 9-10 page research, 12pt font, 1.5 line-spaced paper based on scientific literature (Cryptococcus neoformans disease). About 6-8 pages of text and 2-4 pages of figures and references. You must use a minimum of 10 citations of which, at least 7 should be primary literature articles and possibly 2-3 review papers for deeper understanding. Below I attached 10 articles (7 primary literature and 3 review articles). Also, I attached the rubric form that the professor will used to grade the paper along with a pdf of some writing tips he provides in case you need it as a guidance.
Your review paper should contain the following elements:
-Title–“Mechanism and pathogenesis involved in Cryptococcus neoformans disease and its possible treatmentsâ€�. I choose that title, however I am open to a better suggestion based on the Cryptococcus noeofrman disease.
-Abstract–summary of paper: The main reason for the study, the primary findings, the main conclusions. You will also need to readjust your abstract after completing the paper to ensure that the main point from your paper and the scope are still reflected on the abstract. See guide here on how to write an abstract.
-Introduction–why the study was undertaken. The introduction should give background information needed for your audience to understand the main body of your paper and also provide context for why this paper is interesting and relevant. The final paragraph of the introduction should state the main goal of your paper and summarize your main finding.
-Three sections (Main Body) –what was found. This part should have at least three (3) separate sections. You won’t name this Main Body, instead, each section should have it’s own heading. The heading for each section should describe what main topic of that section is. You need to think carefully about how to best organize the information into these sections and within each section. You need to think which order would make the most sense for your readers. Usually, a good flow starts with information that is more familiar to the reader or more general and then goes into more specific. You also need to organize the paragraphs so that each paragraph covers only one subtopic. Organize the information in each paragraph also from broad to specific.
-Conclusion–why these findings are interesting and what are the implications for the field (what the reasons might be for the patterns found or not found). You can also indicate where is the field going from here, what future research in this field is heading to.
-References–where the information from your paper came from. Every reference listed here must be also cited in-text and every citation in the text needs to be listed here. Please see this guide on how to format your references.
-Figures & tables–show us the data. You can have all the figures and tables listed at the end or embedded throughout the text. Either way, each figure and table needs to be numbered, the number sequence is separate for figures and tables (Fig.1, Fig. 2, Table 1, Table 2). They each need a caption. Every figure and table needs to be referenced in-text by their number. This is how you tell the reader when to look at each figure or table.
-Figure & tables captions–describe what each figure or table is showing. At the bottom of each figure or table you need to have a caption. The caption starts with the label and number (Fig. 1, Table 1) followed by a short title describing the figure or table. Then, you need to explain in your own words what the figure/table shows (copying the caption from the original figure/paper is plagiarism). The caption needs to have enough information that your reader should be able to understand what the figure is about without having to read the main text. You also need to include the reference to where you obtained the figure/table from, example: (Adapted from Smith & Adams, 2011).Your review paper should contain the following elements:
