What does the guide speak about?
A young person's perplexity begins when writing “an article, a piece of research, or a study” — the thought comes: “Where do I begin? And how?” — especially at the beginnings of writing and knowledge production. Young people may be scattered among multiple topics that draw them to research and inquiry, yet this perplexity and dispersion can be dispelled if they choose their topics according to their inclinations and specialisations, so that any research paper they produce is distinctive. The standing question remains: what is the scientific method for writing a research paper?
Hence this guide, to answer that question and to be a path young people can follow in producing the “research paper”. It attends to the methodological side of preparing research papers — the formal and substantive framework — according to the IMRAD method, one of the best-known approaches, which makes it easy for researchers to review and browse the different sections of a research paper quickly. It is the method used in the medical, technological, social, humanistic, and economic sciences, among other disciplines.
