Writing research papers
Writing a research paper takes a lot of time and effort. It demands a thorough knowledge not only of the subject you are writing about, but also of the strategies for generating, verifying, substantiating and proving ideas. It is necessary to follow the structure, style, format and layout of the paper. The following guidelines will help you by providing a step-by-step explanation of the research-writing process.
1. Gathering Data and Writing Summary Notes
When reading papers written by other authors on the subject that is of interest to you, you must write summary notes. There are two kinds of summary notes.
A summary condenses into a brief note the key ideas of a source. It is a concise description of the material without a lot of concern for details. Summary notes are very helpful when you deal with references to source materials, statistical data and all kinds of facts on your specific topic.
A precis is a polished summary that in a few words expresses the key ideas of an entire paragraph, section, or chapter. Writing a precis proves to be very helpful when you review an article, a book or produce an abstract. To produce a precis, condense the original piece of writing, reducing a paragraph into a sentence, an article into a brief paragraph, a book into a page. Preserve the tone and moods of the original (serious, skeptic, doubtful, etc.), do not take material out of context. Always locate the source of your material.
TASK: Do you ever write summary notes? If not, are you going to start? Write a precis of a paper using the instructions given above.
