==== Project presentation and paper ==== ;Paper due date: Monday, June 10, 2019 ;Maximum length: 6000 words (~20 pages) ;Presentation due date: Thursday, May 30 or Thursday, June 6, 2019 ;Maximum length: 8 minutes ''The paper:'' Ideally, I expect you to produce a high quality short research paper that you might revise and submit for publication and/or a dissertation milestone. I do not expect the paper to be ready for publication, but it should contain polished drafts of all the necessary components of a scholarly quantitative empirical research study. In terms of the structure, please see the page on the [[structure of a quantitative empirical research paper]]. As noted above, you should also provide data, code, and any documentation sufficient to enable the replication of all analysis and visualizations. If that is not possible/appropriate for some reason, please talk to me so that we can find another solution. Because the emphasis in this class is on statistics and methods and because I'm not an expert in each of your fields, I'm happy to assume that your paper, proposal, or thesis chapter has already established the relevance and significance of your study and has a comprehensive literature review, well-grounded conceptual approach, and compelling reason why this research is important. As a result, you need not focus on these elements of the work in your written submission. Instead, feel free to start with a brief summary of the purpose and importance of this research followed by an introduction of your research questions or hypotheses. If you provide more detail, that's fine, but I won't give you detailed feedback on these parts and they will not figure prominently in my assessment of the work. I have a strong preference for you to write the paper individually, but I'm open to the idea that you may want to work with others in the class. Please contact me ''before'' you attempt to pursue a collaborative final paper. I do not have strong preferences about the style or formatting guidelines you follow for the paper and its bibliography. However, ''your paper must follow a standard format'' (e.g., [https://cscw.acm.org/2019/submit-papers.html ACM SIGCHI CSCW format] or [https://www.apastyle.org/index APA 6th edition] ([https://templates.office.com/en-us/APA-style-report-6th-edition-TM03982351 Word] and [https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/sample-apa-paper/fswjbwygndyq LaTeX] templates)) that is applicable for a peer-reviewed journal or conference proceedings in which you aim to publish the work (they all have formatting or submission guidelines published online and you should follow them). This includes the references. I also strongly recommend that you use reference management software to handle your bibliographic sources. '' [[Statistics_and_Statistical_Programming_(Spring_2019)/Final_project_presentations|The presentation:]]'' The presentation will provide an opportunity to share a brief summary of your project and findings with the other members of the class. Since you will all give other research presentations throughout your career, I strongly encourage you to take the opportunity to refine your academic presentation skills. The document [https://canvas.northwestern.edu Creating a Successful Scholarly Presentation] (file will be posted to Canvas) may be useful. : More details about the presentation goals, format suggestions, and more are available [[Statistics_and_Statistical_Programming_(Spring_2019)/Final_project_presentations|on this page]]
