Guideline to write a research paper

Basic parts of a research paper

 Title
 Author(s)’s information
 Abstract
 Introduction
 Methodology (Method Section)
 Implementation and Results
 Conclusion [and Future Work]
 References
 ABSTRACT
 Abstract is quite brief, it must do almost as much work.
 The main Section of an Abstract are:
a) Motivation
b) Problem Statement
c) Approach
d) Result
e) Conclusion
 Each section is typically a single sentence.
 In particular, the parts may be merged or spread among a set
of sentences.
 Meet the word count limitation. If your abstract runs too
long, either it will be rejected or someone will take a
chainsaw to it to get it down to size
ABSTRACT (Cont!!!!!)
 Any major restrictions or limitations on the results should
be stated, if only by using "weasel-words" such as
"might", "could", "may", and "seem".
 Some publications request "keywords". These have two
purposes.
a) facilitate keyword index searches
b) review category
 INTRODUCTION
 Opening sentence that reveals the term paper’s subject.
 you should use only one long sentence to combine each of the points you took up
in the body of the term paper.
 The introduction could be more than one paragraph long. Normally 3 to 4
paragraphs.
 Introduction should not run beyond that second-page limit.
 Put the most important sections first, the second most important section next, and
so on down to the least important section.
 You start with a key sentence or sentences to lead off the first part of the section.
 Generally, sum up your views on the main points detailed in the work.
 METHODOLOGY

 Describing the materials used in the study

 Explaining how the materials were prepared
 Describing the research protocol
 Explaining how measurements were made and what
 calculations were performed
 Stating which statistical tests were done to analyze the data
 METHODOLOGY (Cont!!!!!)
 Always write the method section in the past tense.
 Provide enough detail that another researcher could replicate your
experiment.
 Proofread your paper for types, grammar problems, and spelling errors.
Don’t just rely on computer spell checkers. Check each section of your
paper for agreement with other sections. If you mention steps and
procedures in the method section, these elements should also be present
in the results and discussion sections
 CONCLUSION
 The conclusion of the research paper is the most valuable single part of it.
 Analyze and evaluate your main points for your reader.
 The conclusion is the only "original" contribution you offer in your paper.
 It manifests the value of your research as well as your understanding of the
material that you have presented
 It should be a strong recapitulation of your major ideas.
 REFERENCES
You need to cite references to:

Help readers identify and relocate the source work.

Readers often want to relocate a work you have cited, either to verify the information, or to learn more
about issues and topics addressed by the work. It is important that readers should be able to relocate
your source works easily and efficiently from the information included in your citations (see the “Citation
Structure” topic on the following page for details), in the sources available to them - which may or may not
be the same as the sources available to you .

Provide evidence that the position is well-researched.

Scholarly writing is grounded in prior research. Citations allow you to demonstrate that
your position or argument is thoroughly researched and that you have referenced,
or addressed, the critical authorities relevant to the issues.

Give credit to the author of an original concept or theory presented.

Giving proper attribution to those whose thoughts, words, and ideas you use is an important concept
in scholarly writing. For these reasons, it is important to adopt habits of collecting the bibliographic
information on source works necessary for correct citations in an organized and thorough manner.

Accuracy and completeness are important. Keep track of all your

sources throughout your research process.
