Qualities Of A Good Research Paper

A research paper is a tedious task that takes


ample of your time and demands dedication and
hard work on your end. There are various
parameters that it has to go through.
The most important elements are discussed in

this presentation.
1. Topic
The first and the foremost step is the selection
of the topic. The major credit for the success
of a research paper is based on the choice of
the topic. The topic has to be interesting and
informative at all cost. Apart from that it
should neither be too vast nor too short.
2. Clarity
Keep the format in your mind crisp and clear. If the

content is not clear in your mind, it will stay obscure in

the readers mind as well. Crisp and clear

interpretations will keep the reader’s mind on track.

There should be no ambiguity at all cost. If you think

that the points are obscure, make it clear after carrying

intense investigation, asking your supporting hands,

like your professor, seniors, mentors or friends.


3. Format
Follow a well defined format. Begin with a title page.
Write abstract afterwards. Table of Content will be the
next step which will list all the contents. Thereby you
should begin with chapter 1 which will be an overview
of the topic. Chapter 2 will be the review of the
literature. Chapter 3 will be about the methodologies
involved and chapter 4 will be the analysis of the data.
Discussion will be carried in chapter 5 and at last will
be the bibliography and appendices section.
4. Language
Keep the language simple so that it can be
easily understood by the audience.

5. Plagiarism
Never ever copy the content word by
word from anywhere. If you have to copy,
state it in works cited page.
6. Grammar
It has to be written perfectly without any
grammatical mistake.

7. Word Count
Do not make your paper too lengthy or short. In
order to maintain the word limit, never explain
the content unreasonably. The content should be
so written that curiosity, concentration and
confidence are maintained till end.
THANK
YOU !!!!!
