First Year > How to do Research > Create a timeline

You will increase your efficiency in writing academic papers if you create a time schedule with deadlines for each step:

research
read and take notes
outline/organize information
write the first draft
revise for completeness, conciseness and clarity
edit and proofread

Make sure you start earlier, rather than later, and give yourself plenty of time for each step. Try the Virtual Learning Commons’ Assignment Manager to help you plan the timeline.
