What is evidence?
While writing a research paper, the author will need to support the main idea or thesis. This is done by providing evidence from other reliable sources and citing the source. The evidence that an author can use include: facts, statistics, expert testimony, observations, examples, case studies, anecdotes, and textual passages. The author may choose to include the visual support of tables, graphs, charts, time lines, and maps. By using reliable supporting information, the author is providing evidence that supports the thesis and is credible.
