WHAT IS IT
Here is a discussion from study.com about what research is.
Research is a careful and detailed study into a specific problem, concern,
or issue using the scientific method. It's the adult form of the science fair projects
back in elementary school, where you try and learn something by performing an
experiment. This is best accomplished by turning the issue into a question, with
the intent of the research to answer the question.
Research can be about anything, and we hear about all different types of
research in the news. Cancer research has 'Breakthrough Cancer-Killing Treatment
Has No Side Effects in Mice,' and 'Baby Born with HIV Cured.' Each of these began
with an issue or a problem (such as cancer or HIV), and they had a question, like,
'Does medication X reduce cancerous tissue or HIV infections?'
But all I've said so far is what research has done (sort of like saying baking
leads to apple pie; it doesn't really tell you anything other than the two are
connected). To begin researching something, you have to have a problem, concern,
or issue that has turned into a question. These can come from observing the world,
prior research, professional literature, or from peers. Research really begins with
the right question, because your question must be answerable. Questions like,
'How can I cure cancer?' aren't really answerable with a study. It's too vague and
not testable.
Having a question creates an internal state of 'I need to know something.'
To continue the baking example, this internal state of wanting something is like
having a hankering for apple pie.

Basic Parts of a Research Paper

In writing a research paper, take careful note of its parts. The research paper
has at least eleven essential parts although, of course, there may be additional
parts depending on the discretion of your instructor. The basic principle to consider
in writing research paper is that you should first consider and familiarize yourself
with the “works” of others and then try to compare them with your ideas.

1. Title Page
Oftentimes referred to as the „cover page,‟ this section is where you indicate
the title of your research, your name, institutional information and a few other
relevant information prescribed by your instructor.

2. Introduction
Introduce to your reader the “problem” by providing a brief background of
your research. Include the basic reasons how and why you came-up with the
problem, and the probable solutions that you can offer. In general, the
introduction summarizes the purpose of the research paper.
 3
3. Review of Related Literature
This section is where you will be providing all the relevant readings from
previous works. Provide brief summaries or descriptions of the works of other
authors. Make sure that your research materials are from credible sources such as
academic books and peer-reviewed journals. Also, make sure that your reading
materials are directly relevant to the topic of your research paper. The literature
review typically includes the names of the authors, the titles of their works and the
year of the publication of these works.

4. Conceptual Framework
This is a set of coherent ideas or concepts organized in a manner that makes
them easy to communicate to others. A framework can help us to explain why we
are doing a project in a particular way. It can also help us to understand and use
the ideas of others who have done similar things.
We can use a framework like a travel map. We can read a map, because
others before us have come up with common symbols to mark streets, lakes,
highways, cities, mountains, rivers, etc...The scale on a map tells us how far apart
different places are, so we will get an idea how long it might take us to get from one
point to the next. A map also shows us that there may be many different paths that
can be taken to get to the same place.
A framework can help us decide and explain the route we are taking: why
would we use certain methods and not others to get to a certain point. People might
have tried a similar path before and have had different experiences using one road
versus another. Or, there may be paths that have never been explored. With a
conceptual framework, we can explain why we would try this or that path, based on
the experiences of others, and on what we ourselves would like to explore or
discover.

5. Methodology
This section is where you will be providing the methods that you will be
using in your research. Typical methodologies include laboratory experiments,
statistical or mathematical calculations/computations, and comparison of existing
literature.

6. Analysis of Data
This section is where you will be analyzing the data that you have obtained from
the methodological operation that you have chosen. Depending on the type of your
research paper, data analysis instruments and operations may vary. Common data
analysis methods include but are not limited to SWOT Analysis (Strengths,
Weakness, Opportunities and Threats) which is a form of a qualitative data
analysis.

7. Results / Findings / Presentation of Data

This section is where you will be presenting the actual results of the analysis
that you have made based on your chosen methodology.
 4
8. Discussion / Implication of Data Analysis
This is where you will be discussing more of the results of your research, its
implications on other fields as well as the possible improvements that can be made
in order to further develop the concerns of your research. This is also the section
where you need to present the importance of your study and how it will be able to
contribute to the field.

9. Conclusion
Provide the conclusion to your research paper. While it is important to
restate your general thesis in this section, it is also important to include a brief
restatement of the other parts of the research paper such as the methodology, data
analysis and results.

10. Reference Page / Bibliography

This section is where you list down all the academic materials you have used
as sources of information in your research paper. Typical reference formats/styles
include but are not limited to APA 5th, Harvard, MLA and Chicago/Turabian.

11. Appendices
This is the last few pages that support your analysis (especially repetitive or
lengthy information), validates your conclusions or pursues a related point should
be placed in an appendix (plural appendices). Sometimes excerpts from this
supporting information (i.e. part of the data set) will be placed in the body of the
report but the complete set of information ( i.e. all of the data set) will be included
in the appendix. Examples of information that could be included in an appendix
include figures/tables/charts/graphs of results, statistics, questionnaires,
transcripts of interviews, pictures, lengthy derivations of equations, maps,
drawings, letters, specification or data sheets, computer program information.
The information included in the appendix must bear directly relate to the
research problem or the report's purpose. Each separate appendix should be
lettered (Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix B1, Appendix B2, Appendix C, etc). The
order they are presented in is dictated by the order they are mentioned in the text
of the report.

 WHAT'S MORE

One of the important parts of a research paper is the References Page.

It is vital to cite our sources properly. Usually the format used is the
American Psychological Association (APA) format. As a review, the APA
for a book
is:

Author, F. M. (Year of Publication). Title of work. Publisher.

Example
James, Henry. (2009). The ambassadors. Serenity Publishers.

from the internet is:

Author, F. M. (Year of Publication). Title of work. Publisher. URL or

DOI

Example
Stoker, B. (2000). Dracula. Dover Publications.
https://www.overdrive.com/

Instruction: Find at least 3 sources using the APA format about the topic
“Being a Student in the Time of Pandemic”.
