ORGANIZATION IS KEY

AS A RESEARCHER, THE BAD DECISION THAT YOU CAN MAKE IS

DOING TOO MUCH UNFOCUSED RESEARCH BEFORE IDENTIFYING
YOUR OWN POINT OF VIEW. IF YOU DO TOO MUCH UNFOCUSED
RESEARCH FIRST, YOU WOULD BE COMPELLED TO INCLUDE
ANYTHING IN THE PAPER. AS A CONSEQUENCE, YOU HAVE A LOT  OF
INFORMATION THAT ISN'T FOCUSED AND FULLY DEVELOPED

SO TO AVOID THIS, HERE ARE THE SUBSTANSTIAL STEPS THAT YOU

NEED TO WRITE IN A RESEARCH REPORT, AS WELL AS A CHECKLIST
TO GO OVER TO BE SURE YOU WROTE A GOOD PAPER.  

First one is:

 Select your topic carefully

 Choose a topic that is in line with your interest and have an available information
about it.
 Aim for ideas that are both original and specific

After selecting your topic, you must

 Choose sources that will be helpful and make sure they are reliable
 For you to ensure that you are have a reliable source is to find them in academic books and
journals, but also there a lot of great resources that you can access online such as online
databases, e-books, and other research article that are from a reliable search engine.

The next one is:

Write down notes that will be helpful to you.

You can use index card for you to be organized in writing down helpful notes throughout the
process, and your notes should be organized based on the topic it is under. your research
report can include illustrations and visual representations of our data such as graphs, pie
charts and relevant images lend to additional credibility

After you gathered all your sources and identifying what are the information that will be
helpful to you the next thing you will do is to

 Have an outline that is well thought of

  an outline is essentially a list of the key topics, arguments and evidences you
want to include so that you know roughly what the paper will look like before you
start writing, it can help make the writing process much more efficient,

after doing your outline you can start writing your first draft. Because an outline
serves as a map that you need to follow while you are writing your draft

 Write a first draft so you have a skeleton of what your research paper is. Your first draft
won’t be perfect so you might as well go through your first draft, read it thoroughly, polish, and
re-write it.
And the last step is
 Edit when it is needed

All these steps will be further discussed by the next reporters.
