Where does your name go on an research paper?

Your name (and the names of any co-authors) goes on the title page of a research paper, usually at the top or near the top, before the title. The exact formatting will depend on the specific style guide (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago) being used. Additionally, your name (and co-authors') will usually appear again in the author information section, often at the very end of the paper, sometimes including affiliations.
