This document provides guidance on writing a quality research article. It discusses the standard format, which includes an abstract, introduction, methodology, results and discussion, and references sections. The introduction provides context and states the research problem and literature review. The methodology describes the materials, equipment, and procedures used in the study. The results and discussion sections summarize the technical results and provide non-technical interpretation. The conclusion summarizes the main points and significance of the research. References are also needed to give credit to other authors' work. The document emphasizes avoiding plagiarism and discusses other ethical issues in research publication.

7. Publish or Perish
"Publish or perish" is a phrase coined to describe the pressure
in academia to rapidly and continually publish academic work to sustain or
further one's career

11. Selection of Journal
 Key (Determining)
factors
 Impact Factor
 Reputation
 Access to the target
audience
 Overall editorial standard
 Publication speed
 International coverage
 Open Access
• Marginal (Qualifying)
factors
– Quality and colour
illustrations
– Service elements

12. Journal Finder
To avoid any loss of time by submitting manuscripts to inadequate journals,
in various websites you can try finding out the best solution.

13. Standard Format of Science
Research Articles

14. Abstract
• Briefly summarize (often 150 words) - the
problem, the method, the results, and the
conclusions so that
– The reader can decide whether or not to
read the whole article
• Together, the title and the abstract should
stand on their own
• Many authors write the abstract last so
that it accurately reflects the content of
the paper

15. Introduction
 Background - the reasons the author(s)
conducted the study; theoretical
framework
 Statement of Purpose - the goal of the
research (the destination); the problem
statement

16. Methodology
 General Description about Chemicals,
Instruments and other important
aspects uses in experimentation.
 Materials (equipment, apparatus,
measuring instruments) - what was
used, quality of measuring instruments
 Procedures - how study was conducted;
what subjects did or what was done to
them

17. Results & Discussion
 Technical summary of the results
obtained during experimentation:
 In text
 In tables
 In figures
 Non-technical/Description about
interpretation of results

18. Conclusion
The conclusion is the last, yet not the easiest part of a research paper.
It must summarize the whole paper and explain its main purpose.
This section also shouldn’t sound too dry.
Any conclusion consists of a few elements, so you can choose different approaches
depending on your agenda and the paper type.
► Summarize main points of your paper.
► Discuss the significance of your points.
► Discuss the future of your subject.

19. References
 At the end of your paper you will include a
bibliography or works cited page.
 This gives the authors of your sources credit
for their work.
 Add relevant reviews, books and articles in a
journal style. Latest references needed.

Plagiarism v. Paraphrasing Samples
Direct quote from research:
“Japan’s beautiful Mount Fuji last erupted in 1707 and is now classified as dormant.
Dormant volcanoes show no signs of activity, but they may erupt in the future.”
Non-plagiarized paraphrase:
Mount Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan, is actually a dormant volcano. Dormant
means that it is not active. The last time Mount Fuji erupted was in 1707, and there
is always the possibility of a future eruption.
