Researchers often must create a timeline of events to help understand the effect different events had on others. Timelines are never the first step in the research process, but always come after the original review of literature is done and notes are taken. They are extremely helpful in establishing the chain of events that led to or caused the other events. This will provide the researcher with a road map to follow when writing up the research.
A timeline must contain the publication information on the event. The listing of the event can be a direct quote, a paraphrase or a simple notation as to what occurred as fitting to the event. Before proceeding in this research project, complete a chronology of events based on the notes taken in Part II.
A sample timeline format is below.
