Tips on how to lengthen a research paper?
28.April, 2009
I am currently writing a research paper and I need at LEAST 3 more pages, and I am starting to run out of ideas and subtopics.
I know I can't magically squeeze out three more pages without more work and a bit more research, but do you have any good tips or tricks to help lengthen a paper a bit?
I'm not saying I won't do more research, I am just under a time crunch, like I said I'm not expecting to gain 3 more pages, just a few lines here or there. And I am not going to reformat the font sizes becuase it has pretty strict formatting requirements.
Lengthen contractions into two words. You will only get two, three characters out of this, but if you have a lot of contractions it will add up. This will also help if your paper has a minimum word requirement.

If it is a research paper, then try putting in a quote or chart that relates to your topic and make sure to cite it in your works cited, as well as in the paper, this does wonders for adding bulk to a paper.

mess with the margins
enter a extra space after the title
change the font from 12 to 12.5
add a header
this should get you about maybe half a page

Do more research. Look at sources that you have not yet used. Tips or tricks? Is this how you plan to get through school?

You can use the replace command to bump up all the periods one font size.
