How to Design Your Research Paper:
Title
Abstract
Introduction
Literature Review
Methodology
Results and Discussion
Conclusion
Reference
1. Title:
Your study's key concepts or ideas are summarized in the title. A excellent title uses the fewest words possible to properly summarize your research paper's contents and/or goal. The title is, without a question, the most read element of a paper, and it is normally read first.
2. Abstract:
A short overview of a research article or thesis is referred to as an abstract. It is not an abbreviated passage, but rather an original piece. An abstract must be identity and clear without the need of outside sources or references to the original report.
3. Introduction:
An introduction highlights what you've discovered during your investigation. While it may seem wonderful to finish your intro quickly, the rest of your paper should come first. Then it will be simple to develop a clear overview. Include a powerful quote or topic pretty quickly.
4 steps approach in introduction
Give background information and set the context.
Introduce the specific topic and explain why this research is important.
Mention past attempts to solve or to answer the research question.
Conclude the introduction with the objectives of your research.
4. Literature Review:
A literature review is a comprehensive overview of previous research on a topic. The literature review examines scholarly articles, books, and other sources that are related to a specific study topic. This previous study should be identified, described, summarized, analyzed thoroughly, and clarified in the review.
5. Methodology:
The underlying plan and logic of your research study is referred to as methodology. It involves researching the methods employed in your profession, as well as the theories or principles that behind them, in order to design a strategy that is targeted to your goals.
6. Results and Discussion:
The results chapters or sections simply and objectively summarize what you discovered, without guessing on why these results were discovered.
The explanation analyzes the findings, places them in perspective and explains why they are important. Results and discussion are often merged in qualitative research.
7. Conclusion:
The conclusion of a research article is where you sum up your thoughts and leave a lasting impact on the reader. Its main objectives are as follows:
Recite the research challenge that the study addresses. Create an overview of your most important arguments or results.
8.Reference:
Through the use of citations, you are able to acknowledge the contributions of previous authors and researchers to your work.
Citations must be included in any thesis or dissertation that draws on the ideas, words, or research of other authors. Referencing is also a way to offer acknowledgment to the authors whose words and ideas you have taken.
