Research Paper: An
Idea
Research is a “process of steps used
to collect and analyze information to
increase the understanding of a
topic or issue".
 pose a question
 collect data to answer the question
 present an answer to the question
-John W. Creswell
Research Paper is a “Documentation
of author’s research findings”.
Why publishing research
articles is important?
Ideally it is
• to communicate and share the new
discoveries in science to improve the
quality of life
• to make contributions to the society
More often is
• to be advance in the field
• to get the research funding/grants
• to improve the impact of institute or
Papers communicate ideas
 Figure out what your idea is,
 Make certain that the reader is in no
doubt about the idea. Be 100%
explicit:
“The main idea of this paper is....”
“In this section we present the main
contributions of the paper.”
The greatest ideas are (literally)
worthless if you keep them to
yourself
Choosing Your Topic
 Breadth. You may need to start in a
broader perspective then narrow down.
 Originality. Choose a topic that will
allow you to contribute to the field.
 Sources. On the other hand, also
choose a topic that has scholarly
grounding.

 Supplementary articles
Attributes of a Good
Manuscript
 Concise but powerful
 Story like
 To the point
 Free from grammatical and stylistic
errors
 Recognizing contributions of others
 TECHNICALLY CORRECT
Deciding the Journal
 Aim high: Go for first tier journals if
you have time and temperament.
 Decide the target journal before
writing or drafting the article. e.g.
Prefer those journals which publish
similar work.
 If you think that your competitor is
ahead of you, go for second tier
rapid publication journal, because it
Points to be Considered before
Publishing
 Targeted audience
 Prestige of journal.
 Access (open access/ subscribed)
 Impact factor of the journal
 Probability of acceptance
 Publication time
Criteria of a
Good Research Publication
• Novel idea (out of the box thinking)
• Quality science/research
• Good writing and attractive
presentation
• Published in high impact journal
Remember a good article is the one that
is read and cited!
Writing is a critical step in science
although scientists are not trained
to write.
Even very creative experiments
and novel results will have dull
impact if the manuscript is not
written well.
