Fundamentals of
writing a
research paper
Step 1. Select the topic/
Choose a problem
The topic should be:
– Interesting for the author
– Specific
– Relevant
– Well documented
Reading reviews is an excellent
way to limit your topic.
Step 2. Preparing to
write: look for
references
References can be:
-Written texts: books, chapters of a book,
reviews, articles on journals, documents
(such as a constitutions), an unpublished
research, notes.
-Audio-visual texts: videos, pictures,
interviews.
Organize the sources.
Use any type of good reading and
summarizing resource.
Always: take notes of the place
where the source was found.
Step 3. select the
sources that will be
used
Once you have read and
summarized the information, you
can decide which sources you will
use for one particular paper.
Consider at least two different
and contrasting points of view,
theories, sources of information in
order to present an objective
vision of the topic.
Step 4. The Methodology
 Method:
- Technical steps taken to do research.
- Define your methods.
- Explain the reason for their use.
- Outline of the procedures you use to
select, gather and process the data.
 Methodology:
- Discussion of the underlying reasoning
why particular methods were used.
- It inlcudes the description of the
theoretical concepts that inform the
choice of methods.
- It reviews the relevance to examine the
research problem.
- This discussion also includes a thorough
review of the literature about methods
other scholars have used to study the
topic.
Groups of Research Methods
 The Empirical-analytical Approach:
- It focuses on objective knowledge.
- The research questions can be answered yes or
no.
- Employs deductive reasoning that uses existing
theories as a foundation for testing hypotheses.
- It focuses on explanations
 The Interpretative Approach:
- It is focused in the interpretative methods.
- It reveals the meaning-making practices of
human subjects.
- It shows how human practices arrange so that it
can generate observable outcomes.
- It allows to recognize your connection to
phenomena under study.
- It focuses on subjective knowledge so it requires
careful interpretation of variables.
Step 5. argue you
objectivity
A paper is not…
-A summary.
-An essay.
-A field research.
A paper is not written to find
solutions or argue your point
of view on an issue.
A paper is an argumentative
and polyphonic type of text.
Step 6. check the
internal validity of the
paper
Make sure you are not
plagiarizing.
Make sure that you are using
adequate sources of
information.
Make sure that the topic you will
develop takes into consideration
a variety of points of view.
Make sure that you are being
objective.
Step 7: proofreading
your paper
Revision vs edition
Step 8: write your
paper
Plan the structure of the text.
Develop the topic.
Conclude with an objective view
based on the information you have
used in your paper.
Check the use of the sources: not
mentioning the source of the
information when you paraphrase is
also plagiarism.
Correct and edit your paper.
Do not forget to include the list
of references used in
the paper.
Structure of a
research paper
 Abstrac.
 Introduction.
 Literature review.
 Methodology.
