As a university student, you may be required to write a variety of reports for assessment purposes
A research report is one type that is often used in the sciences, engineering and psychology
Here your aim is to write clearly and concisely about your research topic so that the reader can easily understand the purpose and results of your research
The IMRAD (Introduction, Methods, Research [and] Discussion) Research Paper Format is a mnemonic for a common format used for academic ['scientific'] research papers. While used primarily in the hard sciences, like physics and biology, it is also widely used in the social and behavioral sciences. The IMRAD format is also known as the APA format, as the American Psychological Association uses the IMRAD headings in its APA style sheet.

How to write effective research project abstractEtieneIma123
A research project is much more than just a summary of a topic with credible or valid sources, but it is an extended article that presents a writer's understanding and assessment or argument. The purpose of writing this project is to analyze a perspective or argue a point, consequently exhibiting your knowledge, writing and vocabulary skills, and ability to do great research on a given project topic.
When you’re undertaking tertiary study there are often a lot of assignments and writing to do, which can be daunting at first. The most important thing to remember is to start - and start early. This presentation was made based on an article published on Open Polytechnic NZ.
Any student in a high level institution will be usually required to write a variety of dissertations, papers and essays throughout the whole period of their studies.
These writing tasks and assignments will cover a myriad of goals, objectives and purposes.

Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.
CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECTjpsjournal1
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.
2. ▪ A research summary is a type of paper designed to provide a brief
overview of a given study - typically, an article from a peer-reviewed
academic journal.
▪ It is a frequent type of task encountered in colleges and universities.
▪ It is important to teach students to properly interact with and
interpret scientific literature and in particular, academic papers,
which are the key way through which new ideas, theories, and
evidence are presented to experts in many fields of knowledge.
▪ A research summary typically preserves the structure/ sections of the
article it focuses on.
3. ▪ Following steps will allow you to go more efficiently through your
academic writing process:
✓ Skim the article
✓ Analyze and understand the topic and article.
✓ Make notes as you read
✓ Assemble a draft
✓ Find additional literature
4. STEPS FOR WRITING RESEARCH SUMMARY
▪ Skim the article in order to get a rough idea of the content covered
in each section and to understand the relative importance of content.
▪ For instance, how important different lines of evidence are.
▪ it helps you understand on which sections you should focus more
when reading in detail.
5. STEPS FOR WRITING RESEARCH SUMMARY
▪ Analyze and understand the topic and article. Writing a summary
of research paper involves becoming very familiar with the topic.
▪ Sometimes, it is impossible to understand the content without
learning about the current state of knowledge, as well as key
definitions, concepts, models.
▪ This is often performed while reading the literature review.
▪ As for the paper itself, understanding it means understanding
analysis questions, hypotheses, listed evidence, how strongly this
evidence supports the hypotheses, as well as analysis implications.
Keep in mind that only a deep understanding allows to efficiently
summarize content.
6. STEPS FOR WRITING RESEARCH SUMMARY
▪ Make notes as you read. You could highlight or summarize each
paragraph with a brief sentence that would record the key idea
delivered in it.
▪ However, be careful to not engage in extensive writing while still
reading.
▪ This is important because, while reading, you might realize that some
sections you initially considered important might actually be less
important compared to information that follows.
▪ As for underlining or highlighting – do these only with most
important evidence, otherwise, there is little use in “coloring”
everything without distinction.
7. STEPS FOR WRITING RESEARCH SUMMARY
▪ Assemble a draft by bringing together key evidence and notes from
each paragraph/ section. Make sure, all elements characteristic of a
research summary are covered.
▪ Find Additional literature for forming or supporting your critical
view (this is in case your critical view/ position is required), for
instance, judgments about limitations of the study or contradictory
evidence.
8. ▪ The research summary format resembles that found in the original paper
but it is just a concise version of it.
▪ Content from all sections should be covered/reflected, regardless of
whether corresponding headings are present or not.
▪ Key structural elements of any research summary are as follows:
o Title
o Abstract
o Introduction
o Methodology
o Result Section
o Discussion
o Conclusion
o References
9. STRUCTURE OF RESEARCH SUMMARY
▪ Title: It announces the exact topic / area of analysis and can even be
formulated to briefly announce key finding(s) or argument(s)
delivered.
▪ Abstract: This is a very concise and comprehensive description of
the study, present virtually in any academic article (the length varies
greatly, typically within 100-500 words). Unlike an academic article,
your research summary is expected to have a much shorter abstract.
▪ Introduction: This is an important part of any research summary
which provides necessary context (the literature review) that helps
introduce readers into the subject (by presenting the current state of
investigation, an important concept or definition, etc.). An
introduction typically lists investigation questions and hypotheses
advanced by authors, which are normally mentioned in detail in any
research summary.
10. STRUCTURE OF RESEARCH SUMMARY
▪ Methodology: Regardless of its location, this section details
experimental methods or data analysis methods used. In a research
summary, many of these details would have to be omitted, hence, it is
important to understand what is most important to mention.
▪ Result Section: This section lists in detail evidence obtained from all
experiments with some primary data analysis, conclusions,
observations, and primary interpretations being made. It is typically
the largest section of any analysis paper, hence, it has to be concisely
rewritten, which implies understanding which content is worth
omitting and which is worth leaving.
▪ Discussion: This is where results are being discussed. This section
contains interpretations of results, theoretical models explaining the
observed results, study strengths and especially limitations,
complementary future exploration to be undertaken, conclusions, etc.
All these are important elements that need to be conveyed in a
summary.
11. STRUCTURE OF RESEARCH SUMMARY
▪ Conclusion: In the original article, this section could be absent or
merged with “Discussion”. Specific research summary instructions
might require this to be a standalone section. In a conclusion,
hypotheses are revisited and validated or denied, based on how
convincing the evidence is (key lines of evidence could be
highlighted).
▪ References: This section is for mentioning those works that were
cited directly in your summary. One has to provide appropriate
citations at least for the original article. Mentioning other works
might be relevant when your critical opinion is also required.
12. ▪ Below is a checklist of useful research paper tips worth considering
when writing research summaries:
1. Make sure you are always aware of the bigger picture/
direction. You need to keep in mind a complete and coherent
picture of the story delivered by the original article. It might be
useful rereading it or scanning it quickly to remind yourself of the
declared goals, hypotheses, key evidence, and conclusions – this
awareness offers constant sense of direction, which ensures that no
written sentence is out of context. It is useful doing this even after
you have written a fourth, a third, or half of the paper (to make sure
no deviation happens).
13. TIPS FOR WRITING RESEARCH SUMMARY
2. Consider writing a detailed research outline before writing the
draft – it might be of great use when structuring your paper. A
research summary template is also very likely to help you structure
your paper.
3. Sketch the main elements of the conclusion before writing it.
This is because a conclusion has to do a number of things:
validate/invalidate hypotheses; enumerate key evidence
supporting or invalidating them, list potential implications; mention
the subject’s importance; mention study limitations and future
directions for research. In order to include them all, it is useful
having them written down and handy.
14. TIPS FOR WRITING RESEARCH SUMMARY
▪ Consider writing the introduction and discussion last. It makes
sense to first list hypotheses, goals, questions, key results. Latter,
information contained in introduction and discussion can be adapted
as needed (for instance, to match a preset word count limit). Apart
from this, follow a natural order.
▪ Include visuals – you could summarize a lot of text using graphs or
charts and improving readability.
▪ Be very careful about plagiarism. It is very tempting to “borrow”
or quote entire phrases from article, provided how well-written these
are, but you need to summarize your paper without plagiarizing at all
(forget entirely about copy-paste – it is only allowed to paraphrase
and even this should be done carefully). The best way to stay safe is
by formulating your own thoughts from scratch.
15. TIPS FOR WRITING RESEARCH SUMMARY
▪ Keep your word count in check. You don’t want your summary to be
as long as the original paper (just reformulated). In addition, you
might need to respect an imposed word count limit, which requires
being careful about how much you write for each section.
▪ Proofread your work, for grammar, spelling, wordiness, and
formatting issues (feel free to use our convert case tool to convert
case for titles, headings, subheadings, etc.).
▪ Watch your writing style – when summarizing content, it should be
impersonal, precise, and purely evidence-based. A personal
view/attitude should be provided only in the critical section (if
required).
▪ Ask a colleague to read your summary and test whether he/she
could understand everything without reading the article – this will
help ensure that you haven’t skipped some important content,
explanations, concepts, etc.
