Writing an outline before you write your academic paper is a great way to organise your thoughts and see what points you want to consider.
Choose your topic – it sounds simply, but making sure you have it in front of you can keep you focused on what you want to write about.
Rank your ideas into main topics, or headings, and write them down so they make a logical order that flows, which will facilitate the natural progression of your writing. These topics, or headings, make up the main skeleton of your work.
Double check you are happy with your basic outline, evaluate you have addressed things in order of important. If so, you have made a good initial outline!
Choose which subtopics are essential to each of your main topics. Write them as subheadings beneath your main headings. Remain focused and identify the subtopics in importance to your overall paper and their relationship with the main heading. Use only subtopics that relate best to your main topics.
The advice ‘say more about less’ is very useful when writing a topic outline. In other words, choose only a few relevant main topics and include as many subtopics as you require, to give as exact a picture as possible of what you are trying to express.
