Abstract
An abstract summarizes, usually in one paragraph of 300 words or less,
the major aspects of the entire paper in a prescribed sequence that
includes:
1. The overall purpose of the study and the research problem(s) you
investigated;
2. The basic design of the study;
3. Major findings or trends found as a result of your analysis; and
4. Brief summary of your interpretations and conclusions.
Introduction
Announce your research topic. You can start your introduction with a
few sentences which announce the topic of your paper and give an
indication of the kind of research questions you will be asking. This is a
good way to introduce your readers to your topic and pique their
interest.
The first few sentences should act as an indication of a broader
problem which you will then focus in on more closely in the rest of your
introduction, leading to your specific research questions.
Introduction (cont.)
Consider referring to key words. When you write a research paper for
publication you will be required to submit it along with a series of key
words which give a quick indication of the areas of research you are
adressing.
You may also have certain key words in your title which you want to
establish and emphasize in your introduction.
Introduction (cont.)
Define any key terms or concepts. It may be necessary for you to clarify
any key terms or concepts early on in your introduction. You need to
express yourself clearly throughout your paper so if you leave an
unfamiliar term or concept unexplained you risk your readers not
having a clear understanding of your argument.
Sampling Method
In this part, the Researchers should identify which type of sampling
methods under the sampling theory are the Researchers going to use
and identify the target data wherein the selected method will be
applied.
Example:
Results an Discussion
In the results and discussion part, the Researchers will discussed all the
Graphical Representations, Comparative Research, and Applied
Statistical Treatments along with the research’s results.
Identify whether there is a prediction point, significant difference,
similar frequency distributions, and etc.
Conclusion
The conclusion of a research paper needs to summarize the content
and purpose of the paper without seeming too wooden or dry. Every
basic conclusion must share several key elements, but there are also
several tactics you can play around with to craft a more effective
conclusion and several you should avoid in order to prevent yourself
from weakening your paper's conclusion.
Conclusion (cont.)
• Restate the topic - Briefly restate the topic as well as explaining why it
is important.
• Restate your thesis - Aside from the topic, you should also restate or
rephrase your thesis statement.
• Briefly summarize your main points - Essentially, you need to remind
your reader what you told them in the body of the paper.
• Add the points up - If your paper proceeds in an inductive manner
and you have not fully explained the significance of your points yet,
you need to do so in your conclusion.
• Make a call to action when appropriate. If and when needed, you can
state to your readers that there is a need for further research on your
paper's topic.

Cite your references in IEEE Order.
A published research paper or work as your reference will make your
research study more valuable, novel, and firm. Why?
1. There is a basis wherein the paper got the idea from a published paper to
apply the study within the researchers scope of field.
2. References serves as a “PROOF” that your research has been formulated
from the ideas of many researchers around the globe.
3. Many published references means “Awesome” or “Novel”
