An analysis of the set of freely accessible online guidance manuals for writing papers has been conducted, in order to assess their congruence with the students’ learning needs. These guidance manuals mainly describe the specific features of abstracts for non-educational purposes. The given definitions and classifications of abstracts and papers often contradict each other. These guidance manuals lack clear descriptions of the specific features of a paper and common requirements on structure, the amount of references and the evaluation criterion for all subjects. The particular problems of writing papers at Russian Universities were detected and are described in this paper. The common problems found are the lack of the methodological strategies for paper writing and of measures for preventing plagiarism and also the high workload for correction of the papers. This paper introduces the term “an e-learning method of writing papers” (“electronnijuchebnijreferat”) for the first time and presents the experience made in its application as a method for solving of the above mentioned problems. Several classifications of abstracts and papers for educational purposes are suggested in this work. The necessity to define the term “paper” differently in different subjects is also justified here. Possible kinds of papers for educational purposes are outlined and ways of their application as an e-learning method for writing papers are suggested.
