A Structured Framework for Writing Research Papers: A Beginner's Approach

Abstract

Research writing is crucial to academics and professional growth in the different areas of science, engineering, and humanities. Many new researchers tend to have difficulties in developing ideas, choosing strong methods, and presenting clearly. In order to resolve these obstacles, we offer a guiding framework designed for the novice researcher to weave through the entire research process from first ideas to first publication. The key steps adopted in this framework are locating a problem, analysing the previous literature, designing methods, collecting data, and writing the paper. By fragmenting intricate academic processes into simpler phases, the modality makes scholars’ works more coherent, clearer, and better in general. We also highlight common mistakes, and give advice on best practices. As such our guide will assist you in writing a high quality paper which gets accepted by a peer reviewed journal or an international conference.
