Research & Scientific Writing
Scientific writing is one of the most important skills as a researcher. The meaning of scientific writing
is simply to write a specific article, essay, or even a research paper in a way that is accepted for
scientific community.
Research is a systematic process of exploration and dining aimed at discovering and revising facts,
theories, or applications of knowledge. It is a methodical and organized approach to generate a new
information or solving problems. Research can be conducted in various fields, including astrophysics,
computer science, biotechnology, humanities, and more.
The step of research is consisting of systematic steps. While the exact steps can be changed from a
topic to another based on the nature of the research and the field, there’re some general steps:
1. Identify the research problem: Define the topic or the idea that you need to write about. Try
also to clarify the research questions. This step is the most important one because this step is
why you’ve made the research for.
2. Conduct with some literature review: Review some existing literature about your topic that
is already known and try to identify some areas or subtopics that is needed to be clarified. You
can see some research papers or articles that talk about the topic already.
3. Make plan: Develop or create a research plan to start writing and dine for some data. This step
depends on the research problem to make the plan suitable for it.
4. Analyze data and draw conclusions: Use some appropriate analysis methods in order to
interpret the collected data. After collecting the data, you could statistically predict or find
equations for the research problem.
5. Communicate results: Try to create a formal and scientific paper or report about the topic
and share findings through articles.
For the research paper structures, it differs from a journal to another and about the topic. In general,
the research paper contains the following:
[1] Titles
• Concise representation of the main topic or focus of the research.
[2] Abstract
• Summary providing an overview of the research question, methods, results, and
conclusions.
[3] Introduction
• Introduction of the research question or problem.
• Purpose and significance of the study.
• Review of relevant literature.
• Clear statement of research objectives or hypotheses.
[4] Literature Review
• Comprehensive review of existing literature related to the research topic.
[5] Methodology
• Details on research design, approach, and methods used.
• Description of the population or sample, data collection techniques, and tools or
instruments.
• Information on how variables are measured and manipulated.
[6] Results
• Presentation of the findings of the study.
• Use of tables, figures, and statistics to illustrate data.
• Clear and objective presentation of results without interpretation.
[7] Discussion
• Interpretation and analysis of results in the context of the research question and objectives.
• Comparison of findings with existing literature.
• Addressing limitations and suggesting areas for future research.
[8] Conclusion
• Summary of the main findings of the study.
• Reiteration of the significance of the research.
• May include practical implications or recommendations.
[9] References
• List of all sources cited in the paper, following a specific citation style (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago).
[10] Acknowledgments (Optional)
• Includes acknowledgments of individuals, institutions, or funding sources that contributed to
the research.
[11] Appendices (Optional)
• Supplementary materials such as questionnaires, additional data, or detailed methodologies
that are too extensive for the main text.
The main difference between the search and research is ling in the depth and the systematic approach
of them. The search is like the research but in surface-level exploration to find answers, but the
research involves a comprehensive and detailed examination of a subject.
Plagiarism is a way to find whether the person write a specific sentence or statement by himself or
not. It measures the direct copying from the websites or from the citation. This factor is very
important to the journal that you’re writing for to not to copy from other articles before.
