Define the Purpose of the Research

Develop a Research Blueprint

Before starting to write a research paper, it is important to establish the purpose of the study and communicate its significance to the intended audience. Here are some key points to consider:
Significance: Clearly state the significance of the research and why it is important. This can be done by identifying a gap in the literature or highlighting the practical implications of the research.
Originality: Explain how the research is original and contributes to the existing body of knowledge in the field. This can be achieved by describing the research design or methodology used and the new insights gained from the study.
Intended audience: Identify the intended audience for the paper, such as researchers, practitioners, or policymakers. This can help to tailor the language and content of the paper to the needs of the audience.
Implications for practice: Discuss the practical implications of the research and how it can be applied in real-world settings. This can help to demonstrate the relevance of the research to the intended audience.
New research avenues: Identify any new research avenues that the study might lead to, such as future research questions or areas of investigation. This can help to highlight the broader impact of the research.
By establishing the purpose of the research and communicating its significance to the intended audience, the research paper can be structured in a way that is clear, concise, and relevant.

Before starting a research project, it can be helpful to create a blueprint that outlines the structure and methodology of the study. Here are three possible blueprint options:
Descriptive: This blueprint outlines the development of the research project in a logical sequence, from the literature background and methodology to the findings and discussion. The key points to consider are:
Introduction: Present the research problem and research questions, and provide a brief overview of the study.
Literature review: Provide a comprehensive review of the relevant literature, identifying gaps in the existing research that the study aims to fill.
Methodology: Describe the research design, sample, data collection methods, and data analysis techniques used.
Results: Present the findings of the study in a clear and concise manner, using tables, figures, and graphs where appropriate.
Discussion: Interpret the findings and link them back to the research questions, highlighting the implications of the study and suggesting areas for future research.
Chronological: This blueprint describes the developments of a research project over a period of time. The key points to consider are:
Introduction:Present the research problem and research questions, and provide a brief overview of the study.
Historical background: Describe the historical context of the research problem, highlighting key events or developments that have influenced the study.
Methodology: Describe the research design, sample, data collection methods, and data analysis techniques used.
Results: Present the findings of the study in a chronological sequence, highlighting any changes or developments over time.
Discussion: Interpret the findings and link them back to the research questions, highlighting the implications of the study and suggesting areas for future research.
Thematic: This blueprint develops a number of hypotheses and uses these to develop a thematic structure for the article. The key points to consider are:
Introduction: Present the research problem and research questions, and provide a brief overview of the study.
Hypotheses: Develop a set of hypotheses that will be tested through the study.
Methodology: Describe the research design, sample, data collection methods, and data analysis techniques used.
Results: Present the findings of the study in a thematic structure, linking the results back to the hypotheses.
Discussion: Interpret the findings and link them back to the research questions, highlighting the implications of the study and suggesting areas for future research.
By choosing a blueprint that best fits the research project, the author can create a clear and structured research paper that effectively communicates the research findings to the intended audience.

How to Write Manuscripts?
Writing a manuscript involves several steps that need to be followed to ensure that the research is presented in a clear, concise, and well-organized manner. Here are some general guidelines on how to write a manuscript:
Beginning section: The following elements are required, in order:
Title and Abstract: Start with a concise and informative title that accurately reflects the content of the paper. Follow it with an abstract that summarizes the key points of the research.
Introduction: Provide background information on the research problem, clearly state the research questions or objectives, and explain the significance of the research.
Middle section: The following elements can be renamed as needed and presented in any order:
Literature Review: Summarize and critique the relevant literature on the topic, identifying gaps in existing knowledge and explaining how the research contributes to filling those gaps.
Methodology: Describe the research design, including the sample size, data collection methods, and data analysis techniques used.
Results: Present the findings of the study in a clear and concise manner, using tables, graphs, and figures where appropriate.
Discussion: Interpret the findings, linking them back to the research questions and objectives, and explaining their significance. Highlight any limitations of the study and suggest areas for future research.
Conclusion: Summarize the main points of the paper and restate the significance of the research.
Ending section: The following elements are required, in order:
References: Include a list of all the sources cited in the paper, following the citation style required by the journal.
Revision: Review the manuscript carefully, paying attention to clarity, coherence, and accuracy. Revise as needed and proofread carefully for spelling and grammar errors.
Other elements:- Figure captions are inserted immediately after the first paragraph in which the figure is cited. Figure files are uploaded separately.
Tables are inserted immediately after the first paragraph in which they are cited.
Supporting information files are uploaded separately.
For all online submissions, please provide soft copies of all the materials (MS Word), figures/illustrations in JPG, PNG, or JPEG, and chemical structures drawn in ChemDraw (CDX)/ISISDraw (TGF) as separate files, while a DOC/DOCs version of the entire manuscript must also be included, embedded with all the figures/illustrations/tables/chemical structures, etc.
By following these general guidelines, the author can produce a well-written and well-structured manuscript that effectively communicates the research findings to the intended audience.
