What is Research?
"Research is a process of steps used to
collect and analyze information to
increase our understanding of a topic
or issue
-Creswell

Types of Publications
Scholarly Article
Conference Paper
Review Article
White Paper

Scholarly Article
It provides complete information about a
particular piece of research.
These are written by scholars or
professionals who are experts in their
fields.
Example:

Conference Paper
A paper submitted and /or presented
at a conference.
Example:

Review Article
A review article is an article that summarizes
the current state of understanding on a topic.
A review article surveys and summarizes
previously published studies, rather than
reporting new facts or analysis.

White Paper
A white paper is a guide that informs readers
about a complex issue and presents the issuing
bodys philosophy on the topic.
By that users can understand an issue, solve a
problem or make a decision.
Example:

What is an Abstract?
An abstract is a self-contained, short, and
powerful statement that describes a larger
work.
An abstract of a social science or scientific
work may contain the scope, purpose,
results, and contents of the work.

Types of Abstracts
There are three types of abstracts:
Descriptive
Informative
Critical

Descriptive abstract
A descriptive abstract indicates the type of
information found in the work.
It makes no judgments about the work, nor does it
provide results or conclusions of the research.
It does incorporate key words found in the text and
may include the purpose, methods, and scope of the
research.
Descriptive abstracts are usually very short100
words or less.
Example:

Informative abstract
The writer presents and explains all the main arguments and the
important
results
and
evidence
in
the
complete
article/paper/book.
An informative abstract includes the information that can be
found in a descriptive abstract (purpose, methods, scope) but also
includes the results and conclusions of the research and the
recommendations of the author.
Informative abstracts are Fairly short -from 200 words to a page
or more.

Example:
This study investigated the role of "signalling" in helping good
readers comprehend expository text. As the existing literature
on signalling, reviewed in the last issue of the Journal, pointed
to deficiencies in previous studies' methodologies, one goal of
this study was to refine prose research methods. Two passages
were designed in one of eight signalled versions each. The
design was constructed to assess the individual and combined
effect of headings, previews, and logical connectives. The study
also assessed the effect of passage length, familiarity and
difficulty. The results showed that signals do improve a reader's
comprehension, particularly comprehension two weeks after the
reading of a passage and comprehension of subordinate and
super ordinate inferential information. This study supports the
hypothesis that signals can influence retention of text-based
information, particularly with long, unfamiliar, or difficult
passages.
