This brief essay presents the main point of your research paper to a non-academic audience. In essence, you will summarize the basic points of your research paper in a 1 to 2 pages to create this Op-Ed. Here are basic steps that can help you with creating your piece:
1. State your opinion in the opening paragraph and provide general background information regarding your topic.
2. Provide support to your opinion by using expert testimonies and citations.
3. End your Op-Ed with a call for action regarding the main issue of your paper. State, for example, what steps people should take regarding climate change or anthropogenic pollution.
4. Your paragraphs should be relatively short: 5-7 sentences.
Please make sure that your paper is well-written and is free from grammatical errors and sentence structure problems.
Your Op-Ed will offer an opinion — your opinion — about the issue you presented in your research paper. The difference, this time, is that your audience is a non-academic audience, which means you will be using more of a casual and a relaxed style of writing. You may, for example, write the same way you would be raising a topic during a conversation. You do not need to be too formal this time.
