One of the common problems faced by novice researchers involved determining the content of the sub-parts of a research paper. This problem is addressed by looking into the process explained in this book. The parts of a research paper are presented in a template approach with technical specification. This is done to avoid some of the more time-consuming re-writes and workarounds. The drafting of ideas and finalizing it to make it clear becomes possible through proper documentation. The way to ensure that documentation is valuable and correct every time is by designing and using templates. A document template acts as an outline to be followed when developing or documenting just about anything. A good template provides many benefits including: (1) Consistency - it ensures that the same points and details are related every time. (2) Clarity - it prevents the guesswork. Information and details are streamlined. (3) Form - templates allow for a consistency of form. Additionally, (4) Completenes and (5) Efficiency are also considered; thus, research paper writing is made easy.
