[QUOTE="jcm, post: 3255737, member: 72567"]Well, first you start out by being a really rich guy. Then you pick an obscure topic that nobody else had even dreamt of, like "Proctology in Numismatics." Then you do the following: - find the six coins ever made that have tenuous links to proctology -throw in a bunch of pictures of stuff that has nothing to do with the subject matter, like sunsets and the Eiffel Tower - submit it to a certain numismatic organization headquartered in Manhattan who will publish it and sell copies for the low member price of $249 (a classic work which will stand the test of time! free shipping to the lower 48!). But in all seriousness, you find something that interests you. Then proceed like any academic paper. Thesis statement, survey of past research, then explain how your thesis fits or differs from that research. Then make a conclusion based on your argument and the evidence presented.
