First off your topic is very broad. Your professor might not approve the topic itself. By research paper im assuming the final graduation paper between 30-50 pages. Choose a specific topic first.  When you say E commerce in 21st century this encompasses the whole world and the e business practices. Some topics you might think about : The developing e commece patterns in Nepalese retail businesses. Their development stages, challanges and difficulties. How Amazon succeced in Ecommece. Why Ecommerce is essential in X feild. (Be specific) Now when you have successfully choosen the topic you need a thesis statement. This should be about a paragraph long that states the whole RP in 5 lines. Very consise and straight to point. Also formatting i used  Intro Thesis Statement Expert Opinions (This is where your research part comes. Every thing here is not yours but citations and conclusions from your sources. Always have a minimum of 10 legitimate sources. Wikipedia isnt a good source.) Now comes the Body-this is where you ll write your ideas. Remember what you wrote in your thesis statament. Your body needs to support the thesis. Finally Conclusion

Thanks maxpayne...the topic I have is "Advances of online social networking and the effects of e-commerce in the 21st century." But I am stuck with few sub-headings like I mentioned above..I will have Thesis statement in my intro, and I have various References for the opinions. But I am still feel I am missing some headings or sub-heading under my BODY.

gmoney, how about the growing influence of "free service" over paid service, as in Google, FB, Twitter etc and their effect on ecommerce.
