personal essays or expository writing vs research papers. what's the difference

Question and answer

A personal essay is based upon your own personal knowledge and experience. However, a research paper provides evidence that is based solely on research alone- books, articles, web pages, etc. [ You cannot cite personal experience or knowledge as evidence in a research paper. ]
