I was not familiar with research papers, so I used Ivy assistant to get an answer for you:

"The time it takes to complete a high school research paper can vary greatly depending on several factors, including the paper's length, complexity, the student's experience, and the research required. Here are some factors to consider when estimating the time needed for a high school research paper:

Topic selection: Choosing a research topic can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on how quickly you can identify a subject that interests you and meets your teacher's requirements.

Research: The research process can take several days or even weeks, depending on the depth and breadth of the topic. This includes finding relevant sources, reading, and taking notes.

Outline: Creating an outline for your paper can take a few hours. This step helps you organize your thoughts and ensures you have a clear structure for your paper.

Writing: The actual writing process can take several days to a few weeks, depending on the length of the paper and your writing speed. This includes drafting, revising, and editing.

Formatting and citations: Properly formatting your paper and adding citations can take a few hours, depending on your familiarity with the required citation style.

Considering these factors, a high school research paper can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to over a month to complete. To ensure you have enough time to complete your paper, it's essential to plan ahead, break the task into manageable steps, and set interim deadlines for each step."

Hope this helps!
