In the lower right hand corner of the note card, write the page number(s) where the quote was located in the source

  7. *The number of note cards needed to write a research paper is different for every student. *Do not cram too much information on one card; this will be difficult to organize when it comes to making an outline. *Research all aspects of your topic thoroughly. *After you have gathered all your information, you will sort your cards by specific titles. *Arrange them into a logical format. *This will become the outline to use in writing the research paper. *Students who had between 30 and 50 note cards were able to construct an excellent research paper of 4 to 6 pages in length (typed and double spaced).
