I'm writing a research paper and it involves a lot of statistics and facts taken from my 30 pages of notes on over 50 sources. I have citations (in the form of numbered endnotes) after just about every sentence. I feel like I'm not adding enough of my own input, however there isn't much input to give...its a research paper, and my analytical stuff will be mostly towards the end... Is this typical?
Too many citations in a research paper?
Yes it is . . . If you can, try to paraphrase some facts in your own words - it's kind of putting your own input - your own understanding of the fact
And try to limit your sources, only pick the BEST source for one point or whatever . . . it isn't necessary to have 5 examples for one point . . . 2 good stat/fact is good enough
P.S. - I think you need to comment on your stats / facts
