research

Examples of research in the following topics:

• Conducting Research

  • How you conduct research depends upon the topic you are researching.
  • Basic research is meant to increase your general knowledge about a subject.
  • Sometimes, though, you have a more specific goal that requires special research practices.
  • Applied research is used to solve practical problems.
  • The specialized manuscripts stored here are for special or unusual research purposes.

• Step 1: Researching

• Writing While You Research

  • Once you have enough notes, you should start writing, even if you intend to keep researching.
  • We first research, then take notes, then outline, then write.
  • As you research, you begin taking notes.
  • Avoid this impulse by starting to write while still researching.
  • Explain the use of beginning to write your paper during the research process

• Organizing Your Research Plan

  • To save time and effort, decide on a research plan before you begin.
  • To save time and effort, decide on a research plan before you begin.
  • It is simply not possible to include every topic in your research.
  • Then, in step three, you would come up with a research question.
  • And finally, have fun doing the research!

• Discussion and Conclusion

  • The discussion section of a scientific paper should interpret the results of your research.
  • First, briefly remind your reader of your research question and principal findings by briefly restating these points.
  • Build on the research question you posed in the introduction, and the context you established in the literature review.
  • Make a case for the meaning and significance of your findings, and support your case by connecting it to related research.
  • You should discuss, somewhere in your paper, the significance of your research for future research, public policy, personal decision-making, or other spheres of influence.

• Step 2: Researching

  • Researching your subject is an important step in writing because it helps you narrow your focus.
  • When you write expository essays, you hear a lot about primary and secondary research.
  • Here's how a student might winnow a research topic about the women's movement in the 1970s.
  • The reason some people dread research is that they feel overwhelmed.
  • Continually making your search more specific will help you avoid getting overwhelmed by research.

• Overview of the IMRAD Model

  • In the first section of your paper, make a case for your new research.
  • Explain to your reader why you chose to research this topic, problem, or issue, and why such research is needed.
  • Explain any "gaps" in the current research on this topic, and explain how your research contributes to closing that gap.
  • It provides an overview of relevant research in your discipline.
  • Its goal is to provide a scholarly context for your research question, and explain how your own research fits into that context.

• Abstract

  • State the question or problem you are addressing, and describe any gaps in the existing research.
  • Describe your research process and the approach(es) you used to collect and analyze your data.
  • This helps specialized and non-specialized audiences alike grasp the content and implications of your research more thoroughly.
  • Here is where you finally connect your research to the topic, applying your findings to address the hypothesis you started out with.
  • Describe the impact your research will have on the question, problem, or topic, and include a call for specific areas of further research in the field.

• Choosing Search Terms for Sources

  • Conducting searches related to the keywords or subheadings of your topic will help systematize your research.
  • Before you start conducting your research, you should have created a research plan with a specific research question.
  • Is the purpose of your research to find a new idea, find factual information to support a position, or something else?
  • Once you have your research topic and you know which databases you want to search for articles, you need to determine the best way to go about searching.

• Understanding the Academic Context of Your Topic

  • "Status quo" refers to the existing and accepted body of academic research and discourse on a given topic.
  • Conducting the appropriate research on this discourse is an important preliminary step to academic essay writing.
  • As the writer continues her research, she will eventually find sources to incorporate into the paper.
  • Second, identifying the status quo also tells readers why the writer's angle is unique compared to past research.
  • As a researcher and writer, you also have the potential to change the status quo through your research and argument.
