RESEARCH
 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. 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.
 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.
