How to set up a paragraph for a research paper?
I have not written a research paper for a long time. I want to know how the sentence structure should be in the body of the text? Do you make a statement and then find facts to support it and cite your work with each fact you find?

You'll want to cite your sources but you also want to come up with your own ideas, maybe listing a few sources and then stating what all of them imply when taken together. You can also get help from http://www.fixmypaper.us/
Try looking at this website and printing out their reference pages, and a complete sample paper.
I write my paper after reading about 15-20 articles I print from the Internet. I circle or highlight items of interest and try to organize them into coherent thoughts.
Then summarize or paraphrase those, expanding into paragraphs. Use proper citation, including for direct quotes.
