What do you know about research paper archives? Do you know how to use them? Have your teacher ever recommended you use research paper archives?
 
Most probably, you did get such recommendations from your teacher. At least, good teachers advise visiting research paper archives if students are not experienced enough in preparing this kind of papers.
 
Sure, research paper archives are helpful for experienced research paper writers as well. A good research paper archive is always an excellent source of ideas and some additional hints for organizing this or that part of a research paper.
 
If you have never used research paper archives, this article will be useful.
 
Where can you find a research paper archive?
 
All research paper archives can be found on the Web. Some of them are reliable and store original, non-plagiarized works. These are research paper archives of academic institutions or some specific organizations. Other archives are just websites where some students upload their works. Unfortunately, nobody can guarantee that these papers are original and professionally written.
 
More likely than not, research paper archives created by some organization contain papers devoted to a certain theme. For instance, have you heard about the European Research Paper Archive (ERPA)? All papers they store are devoted to Europe and European integration only.
 
Searching for necessary papers
 
As a rule, hundreds of papers are stored in a good archive, and finding necessary works is challenging at times.
 
So, before you start searching, collect as much information about necessary works as you can. Better to know:

• The author’s name;
• The title of a paper;
• The date or, at least, month of work’s completion/publishing.
