Anatomy classes often require students to complete a research paper. The reasons for this requirement include increasing a student's knowledge on a specific subject related to anatomy and introducing the process of research- based writing. A research paper requires the use of peer-reviewed articles as references, which have been reviewed by experts in the field of anatomy or closely related sciences. The ability to write a research paper in anatomy is a requirement for advanced study in anatomy. Research databases that the University of Connecticut recommends for anatomy papers include PubMed, BIOSIS, Web of Science and Zoological Record.
