The thirteenth chapter of The Bedford Researcher, which is simply titled Organizing, is split into three sections. The first section lists many different ways to organize different sources and documents, such as organizing them by description or chronology or by which support or don’t support your purpose, as well as what each term on the list means. The second section of the chapter goes into how to arrange your argument. The section has the reader do this labeling the evidence that has been gathered, and then grouping the evidence in such a way that makes sense to the reader. This section finishes with two ways to group the evidence, saying that both clustering and mapping are good ways to arrange the evidence in such a way as to easily understand what is said in the evidence.
The third and final section of the chapter goes over how to make an outline. They begin the section with talking about how to make an informal outline to get the basis of what your document may be. They then go into formal outlines, specifically topical and sentence outlines, which help to organize the document into a more cohesive unit then before.
