How To Write A Research Paper That Can Win You Good Grades?

 
Written and oral communication skills are universal qualities sought by students and professionals. You alone are responsible for developing these skills. Students often face issues when they have to write a research paper. However, with good organization of your work and focus you make this daunting looking task a lot easier. 

A research paper can be used for exploring and identifying scientific, technical and social issues. Writing a good research paper requires it to divide into steps. Organizing your work can be a decisive factor between a good and an ordinary research work.
  
 

The first step for you would be to choose a topic for your research. Try to avoid a general topic and narrow it down to a specific question or analysis. Before finalizing your topic check your research sources for the availability of enough resources on the subject. You would not want to be stranded in the middle of a paper because of the lack of research on the matter. The selected topic must be new and offer a unique perspective on the issue at hand. 

If you are in a class and you have an idea that everyone is writing on a similar topic, it is best to choose something unique. Pick something you love and would like to get up to in the morning. Consulting with your professor for your topic is a great idea as he is the one, who will eventually judge the quality of your work. 


 

Make an outline of all the key sections of the research paper. The first thing you would have to write is the introduction. You must focus on the question or hypothesis of your research in this section. An introduction must gain the interest of the reader to further explore the issue. Keep it precise and under 2 pages. 

To write the main body, focus on the methods and materials used in your research. It is easy to stray away from the topic in this section so make sure you don’t do that. Explain all the methods in detail and offer different viewpoints on the issue. 





The conclusion of your research paper is supposed to come up with logical results of the discussed question and offer an exclusive insight on the issue. 

The abstract must be written at the end of everything else. It’s basically a summary of your research paper. You can write it in a single paragraph. Keep your work concise and avoid costly grammar and spelling mistakes.

  You know what the head of the doctoral research committee said when I acquainted him a couple of days ago? He said, “A poorly written dissertation draft is the first step towards improving and excelling in your Ph.D. research.”  I was surprised to hear that as I couldn’t comprehend it right away. Then he explained that great examples are rarely seen and those who are able to construct their research perfectly, use rigorous logic, have unique insights, conduct groundbreaking research and have a touch of artistry. Having decades of experience, he further shared some of the key insights about what makes a research dissertation loose its charm. The most common mistakes Ph.D. researchers do are:      Surrounding Yourself With Like-Minded People If you're surrounded by people who think the same way you do, perceive things how you perceive them, share their views whether conservative or liberal or/and have a similar perspective, you will en...
