Study Notes
Research Paper Structure
- Research aims to identify frameworks for building a research project.
- A research paper has four sections:
- Aim: States the reasons for the research or the desired outcomes. Aims can be general or specific. General aims outline the overall goal, while specific aims detail the particular objectives.
- Purpose: Research is conducted to discover new knowledge and information beneficial to individuals.
- Method: Describes the data collection and analysis procedures. Data collection methods can include surveys, interviews, questionnaires, observations, etc. Data analysis methods can be empirical, comparative, etc.
- Ethics: Covers ethical considerations throughout the research process. Ethical guidelines are outlined by organizations like American Psychological Association (2003) and Center for Social Research Methods (2006) to guide researchers.
Theoretical Framework
- Theoretical framework is based on existing theories relevant to the research aims or hypotheses.
- Attachment Theory: A well-established theory explaining potential causes of child abuse.
Conceptual Framework
- The conceptual framework presents the researcher's understanding of the study's core concepts and principles.
Empirical Data
- Empirical data includes information gathered using multiple research methods (e.g., observation, interviews, experiments).
Types of Empirical Data
-
Textual: Data descriptions in paragraph form.
-
Tabular: Statistical table representations of data.
-
Graphical: Visual representations like line graphs, pie charts, and bar graphs.
- Line Graph: Used to show changes in variables over time.
- Pie Chart: Depicts the distribution of parts within a whole based on categories.
- Bar Graph: Useful for comparing two or more variables.
Research Paper Outline
- Steps in writing a research paper:
- Selecting a topic.
- Gathering preliminary information.
- Defining a thesis statement.
- Creating an outline.
- Writing a concept paper.
- Gathering information and creating a bibliography.
- Writing a draft.
-
Concept Paper: Contains rationale, objectives, methodology, and expected outcomes (Constantino and Zafra, 2000).
- Rationale: Explains the historical context and significance of the topic.
- Objectives: Outlines the research aims.
- Methodology: Describes the data collection and analysis processes.
- Expected Outcomes: Predicts the results of the research.
Concept Paper Components
- Introduction of a research topic.
- Importance of the chosen topic.
- Overall objective of the research.
- Methodological plan.
- Expected results.
- References.
Research Paper Revision
- Identifying the main points, summarizing the central idea and supporting evidence. Ensuring the thesis is clear and focused.
- Considering the target audience and purpose. Adaptation for specific groups or demographics.
- Evaluating the supporting evidence. Checking the adequacy and relevance of evidence to the thesis. Examining citations for accuracy and proper attribution.
- Ensuring all ideas relate to the main theme. Eliminating extraneous ideas if needed.
- Improving clarity and conciseness in language.
- Addressing grammatical errors and typos. Using correct grammar and punctuation.
- Evaluating the clarity of the research paper.
