The Good Paper is a handbook for writing research papers, BA and other projects, theses, essays, etc. in higher education. The book is written for students who must independently formulate a research question and search for sources for their research papers. The book includes numerous annotated examples of good papers coming from university and professional bachelor programs. The book’s activities (all forms available on http://samfundslitteratur.dk/files/samfundslitteratur.dk/31790%20aktivitetsskemaer.pdf) scaffolds research paper writing. The Good Paper's view is that the research paper is a genre that cuts across fields and disciplines. The research paper genre has five fundamental guiding elements which are illustrated by a pentagon model: 1) the research question, 2) the purpose, 3) the data, materials, and phenomena, 4) the theories, concepts, and methods, and 5) the research design.
The Good Paper has been a bestseller i Denmark for many years, and has been translated into Swedish and Norwegian and in an earlier edition, Lithuanian.
