1. To do research
- Originality : independently

2. To demonstrate a critical review

(previous studies) - What else need to be
done?
- Novelty: unique / advancement / revised
3. To generate knowledge
- Significance of the study
Develop of new model / new setting
Produce new / revised instrument
Develop prototype / simulation / model
Mathematical formulation / algorithm
Different research design / approaches

4. To write / disseminate
- Publication
 Your research must contribute new and
important knowledge to your field.
A comprehensive review of the published
literature will help you.
You must be able to show reviewers and readers
that you understand what work has been done
before, and that your research adds some new
understanding to the field.

 Thesis Statement
(Your argument in your topic)

The use of marine current for energy

renewal (topic) can backup the traditional
power generation (argument); therefore the
tidal turbines should be installed on the
seabed in such a way that could extract
energy from the flowing water consistently
(support your study)

 Thesis Statement
(Your argument in your topic)

Hyper-efficient hybrid engine (topic) can

reduce carbon dioxide emissions (argument)
using a spinning metal disc with precisely-
calculated radial channels (support your
study).

These data suggest that students would be able to
assess the validity of the competing points of view
in order to develop their own evidence-based
interpretation of the event (Kuhn, 2005).

Interest is a powerful motivator, which differs from

most other motivational concepts by its content
specificity (Krapp, 2002).

Taken from: [A]
The zero flow scenario cannot be accomplished
hence all the winds kinetic energy may not be
utilised [B] as wind turbine efficiency cannot be
predicted accurately [C]

With citation from: [B] + [C]

Your article:
The kinetic energy obtained from the wind can not
be fully utilized because of the difficulty to determine
the effectiveness of wind turbines [A]. However,
wind kinetic energy can be revised [E].
