Research Paper Writing

For students who are enrolled in Bachelor’s, Master’s, MPhil and PhD programs, it is common knowledge that they have to write down research papers and have them published as well in some kind of a journal. While the practice has grown common ever since the Higher Education Commission has made it compulsory for candidates to submit a brilliant research paper for receiving the degree, a lot of students are still struggling with the very basics of writing a research paper.

After studying for four years for their Bachelor’s program, students are given the task of writing a research paper where they have to perform extensive research and furnish an impeccable research paper in front of their teachers.  Same goes for Master’s, M.Phil and PhD in all over Pakistan where the student is given a time frame to submit their research paper. The time frame also varies according to the degree level, such as for doctorate or PhD Level, the maximum time limit allowed is eight years otherwise the degree is revoked and the student’s registration is also cancelled.

In detail, each of the sections is explored below for in-depth understanding:

Abstract: This is the first and the foremost part of a research paper, which acts a summary and should be giving a clear-cut description of the overall research paper.

Acknowledgements: In this section, you basically give thanks to all the people and the institutions which provided you with guidance and facilities for conducting research and for completing your research paper overall.

Introduction: This portion of the research paper includes the research aims and the research objectives, which can be more than three as well, and have to be clearly defined as well. The introduction also gives a background on the topic for research, and how the student arrived on the finalization of the topic.

Critical Literature Review: This section seeks to provide a critical analysis of all the existing research on the topic of research, what are the research gaps that can be filled, what is the viewpoint of the writer etc. Other than that, the writer has to provide rationale for having chosen the selected methods of research in this section as well, while giving a recap of the research questions too.

Methodologies: The methodologies consist of whatever research methods the writer has utilized in conducting and gathering research. The methods consist of qualitative and quantitative research, and have to be described in detail so as to apprise the readers.

Findings/Data Analysis: The research that has been carried out is described in this section in the form of findings. This is a very important section because it justifies that the research carried out has proved beneficial and that there were some findings. The findings are also analysed and explained in this section, with respect to the topic of the research paper.

Conclusion: The conclusion should provide a summary of the overall research paper, where the writer can provide personal opinions on the topic and justifies having conducted research on the particular topic.

Recommendations: The recommendations section is also a very crucial component of the research paper, because the writer has to provide suggestions on what future research should be conducted on the topic of the research paper.

References: The research that has been compiled and made use of in the research paper should be cited in the recommended citation style. This is also essential in a research paper because teachers and supervisors have to verify that the used research is legitimate and authentic.

This is the usual set of chapters and sections which are included in a research paper, and the major issue that causes students to face hindrances in starting with their research papers is that they are not able to understand the structure in the first place.

HEC Categories

According to the category system set by the Higher Education System, following are the categories through which students determine regarding publication in HEC approved journals.

W Category: Journals which have an Impact Factor are included in Journal Citation Report.
