inquiry.
• A research paper is a written document
that reports the results of original
research or a study conducted by the
author. It is typically an in-depth
exploration of a specific topic or
question.
WHERE AND HOW TO START?
Choose a subject – that interests you but from which you can still learn much, not too broad, and not too
difficult, one for which you can find materials from popular magazines or books aimed at general readings.
Selection of a title- The title should be specific and indicate the problem the research project addresses using
keywords that will be helpful in the literature review in the future. Clear and explanatory title, brief and
concise.
Understand the Audience- Identify your target audience for the presentation. Consider their knowledge level
and interests to tailor your content appropriately.
Research Objectives- Clearly outline the objectives and goals of your research. What do you aim to achieve
or communicate with your presentation?
Message Clarity- Clearly define the main message or takeaway from your research. Ensure that this message
is concise and easy to understand.
Data Collection and Analysis- Gather and analyze the data you need to answer your research questions.
Ensure that your data collection methods are appropriate and reliable.
Citations and References- Ensure that you properly cite all sources and references in your research work.
Structured Outline- Create a structured outline for your presentation. This outline should include the key
sections and points you intend to cover, such as introduction, methodology, results, discussion, and
conclusion.
Feedback and Review- Seek feedback from peers or mentors. Review your presentation for clarity,
coherence, and accuracy.
