1 Envirnment, Behaviur & Sciety Research Grup RESEARCH PAPERS AND REPORTS FOR HONS, MPHIL, PHD & POST-DOC STUDENTS The belw has been prepared t help all research students with the writing and rganising f research papers and reprts including dissertatins and theses. The first fur pages, t the end f Methds, are als relevant fr research prpsals. What is a research paper r reprt, including a thesis reprt? 1 Frm f prfessinal dcumentatin and cmmunicatin Designed s readers can extract infrmatin readily and easily Describes research wrk in sufficient detail fr it t be verified (and maybe repeated r at least built ff) by thers Interprets/draws cnclusins frm data Places research questins and cnclusins in cntext f related research wrk in the field Language and style: Use bjective language Avid wrds/phrases with a meaning that culd be misunderstd Avid bias in language 2 schlarly writing shuld be free f implied r irrelevant evaluatin f a grup r individuals being studied Ensure simplicity and clarity ensure it is easy t fllw yur thinking Cntemprary science and schlarship use the active vice as much as pssible Use the past tense fr things already dne, eg, research methds, tests applied, etc.; use the present tense fr things that live n, eg, the findings and cnclusins drawn Present infrmatin in a lgical rder fr the reader The quality f yur written cmmunicatin will influence yur reader s understanding Fllw a standard style guide EBS and mst f the scial/envirnmental sciences wrldwide use the APA Publicatin Manual Fr dissertatins and theses being submitted in Australia, use Australian spelling and punctuatin thrughut; fr manuscripts being submitted t a jurnal, fllw the jurnal s guidelines Research terminlgy: Use apprpriate research terminlgy Define terms when first used; d nt give list f definitins Write terms in full befre using acrnyms A schlarly research paper, reprt r thesis has: An infrmative summary (the abstract) Subdivisins with headings and subheadings (tw levels are quite sufficient) Main pints made bvius All factual statements supprted by references t peer-reviewed research r by data frm this study 1 Parts f the first fur subsectins have been used by permissin f Dr Melni Muir, Practical Reprt Writing, Schl f Medical Sciences, University f Sydney. 2 See the APA Publicatins Manual (5 th editin), sectin 2.12, pp fr an excellent set f guidelines fr aviding unintentinal bias in language.

2 Envirnment, Behaviur & Sciety Research Grup 2 Structure: The structure and cntent f a research paper, reprt r thesis shuld be apprpriate t yur research tpic. A classic research reprt, in any field, cntains fur basic sectins (thugh the names and the numbers f actual sectins r chapters may vary): Intrductin (backgrund literature review) Methds Results Discussin (interpretatins, cnclusins, recmmendatins) Plus f curse references, acknwledgments and maybe appendices (in a reprt, but nt in a paper) Belw is an utline fr a typical Hns, MPhil, PhD r Pst-dc research paper, reprt r thesis: 3 Title Page Title: The title summarises the main idea f the paper simply and, if pssible, with style A cncise statement f the main tpic f the research Identify the actual variables r theretical issues under investigatin and the relatins between them Fully explanatry when standing alne A gd title easily cmpresses t the running head used fr published papers Titles are cmmnly indexed and cmpiled by abstracting and indexing services int reference wrks; therefre avid wrds that serve n useful purpse, eg, the wrds methd and results d nt nrmally appear in a title, nr shuld such redundancies as a study f r research n Avid abbreviatins and acrnyms Recmmended length n mre than 10 t 12 wrds By-line: Authr(s) name and institutinal affiliatin, eg, Envirnment, Behaviur & Sciety Research Grup, The University f Sydney Date submitted Running head: Abbreviated title recmmended t the publisher as a running head; limited t 50 characters including spaces, shrter is better Table f Cntents Fr theses and ther reprts nly, nt fr papers Recmmended t use Wrd s autmatic Table f Cntents generatr Abstract The abstract is a brief summary (ne paragraph f wrds) cvering: Purpse f the research Overview f what is knwn frm the research literature Main research questin and/r hypthesis Overview f research methdlgy Summary f principle findings Ending with the significance f the research (very imprtant fr research prpsals; frwned upn fr papers) The abstract shuld be: Accurate Cncise Self-cntained (eg, define all abbreviatins, r d nt use them; spell ut names, d nt use acrnyms, etc.) Nn-evaluative Cherent and readable, eg, use active rather than passive vice Intrductin and Review f Research Literature The intrductin is likely ne-quarter f the paper r thesis the purpse, backgrund and review f related research. Include the fllwing: 3 Fr additinal details n sme f the belw items, see the APA Publicatin Manual (5 th editin).

3 Envirnment, Behaviur & Sciety Research Grup 3 Objectives and/r Aims The purpse and ptential significance f the study, ie, the prblem under investigatin, and why it is imprtant The bjectives and/r claims f the research Critical Integrative Review f Backgrund Research Literature Backgrund f existing research in the dmain f yur tpic Cmprehensive Integrative Critical What is knwn and what is nt knwn Leading t the identificatin f gaps in existing knwledge Subdivide int several sectins, each dealing with a different bdy f relevant prir research Include discussin f the thery(ies) underlying the research Review and critique majr research methds previusly used in this dmain All research terms defined In ttal, tell yur reader what is knwn and what is nt knwn (gaps) in the dmain f yur research tpic Leads lgically t and supprts the research questins r hyptheses Research Questins and/r Hyptheses Flwing frm the abve review the specific research questins, and hyptheses if apprpriate, that were investigated The gaps in current knwledge turned int researchable questins and/r hyptheses Include subquestins, but avid pseud- r prcedural questins Methds Anther ca ne-quarter f the paper r thesis the what and hw f the research: Describe hw the study was cnducted and why the methds used were apprpriate Enable the reader t evaluate the apprpriateness f yur methds, and therefre the reliability and validity f yur results Tell the reader what yu did and hw yu did it in sufficient detail s that a reader culd reasnably replicate yur study Subdivide int several labelled sectins and subsectins, each dealing with a different part f the research methdlgy, depending n tpic, but include at least the fllwing sectins and subsectins: Research Design The mde f inquiry that was deemed mst apprpriate fr this research, ie, int which epistemlgy and mde f inquiry did it fit, and why? Overall plan f the research tw stages, preliminary and main study, etc (as apprpriate). This sectin is unusual in sciences where everyne fllws the same received methdlgy, eg, psychlgy where everything is experimental, r physilgy r ther bench sciences, but is needed in ur field as the range f mdes f inquiry r methdlgies varies widely; it is therefre necessary t indicate and justify the basic methdlgy selected Pilt Study(ies) Details f any pilt studies cnducted t refine and test instruments, etc. Participants: Ppulatin and Sample Apprpriate identificatin f the ppulatin and sample are critical fr assessing the results and generalising the findings Identify the ppulatin that is relevant fr the research under investigatin Indicate hw the sample was selected, including hw the size f the sample(s) was decided and what type f sample it was (simple randm, stratified randm, and why) Indicate any agreements r payments etc made t participants Include mentin f ethical cnsideratins and hw handled Characterise the final sample alng lines that will be mst useful t determine hw far the data can be generalised, eg, numbers frm different ethnic grups, r ther analytic variables relevant t the dependent utcme variables

4 Envirnment, Behaviur & Sciety Research Grup 4 Data r Other Infrmatin Cllectin Methds What type f infrmatin, evidence r data was cllected t answer the research questins r test the hyptheses? Articulate the cnstructs implied in the research questins and/r hyptheses and the variables selected t measure them Detailed descriptin f data cllectin instruments (fr independent, mediating r mderating variables and dependent variables), and hw they relate t the cnstructs and variables Fr text-based interpretive research, this wuld be the types f evidence used and hw they were gathered Fr field, labratry r simulatin research, this is the types f data cllectin methds used including cnstructs and variables and instruments Address quality assurance: reliability, cnstruct and internal validity, and genrealisabilty/transferability Prcedure Summary f each step in the executin f the research Summarise instructins t participants (with actual prtcls in the appendix f a reprt) Include specific experimental manipulatins (if apprpriate), sequencing f administering pre- and pst-tests, etc. (as apprpriate) Describe randmisatin, cunterbalancing and ther cntrl features f the design (as apprpriate) Mst readers are familiar with standard prcedures that are well published; dn t repeat details f them; describe in detail any unique r new prcedures Data/Infrmatin Analysis Describe the specific quantitative and/r qualitative data analysis methds that were used t analyse r evaluate the data r infrmatin, and why they were apprpriate 4 Fr qualitative and interpretive research, explain in detail hw yu evaluated the infrmatin in frnt f yu, qualitative, interpretative, structural analysis, etc Fr prttype develpment research, give details f hw yu assessed the bject develped and against what criteria yu tested and evaluated it Fr field r labratry research, give details f quantitative and/r qualitative data analysis methds emplyed Ensure yur reader is clear what data analysis techniques yu used t analyse the data fr each questin, and why Smetimes this sectin is put int results, as a descriptin f the data analysis methds used fr each research questin and assciated findings, but it is preferable t put it in the end f Methds t cmbine in ne place all the methds used in the study Results Perhaps as much as ne-third f the thesis, reprt r paper what yu fund frm the research: Summarise the data cllected and the findings relative t each research questin and/r hypthesis Divide the sectin int several subsectins, each reprting the findings in answer t ne f the research questins. Include all relevant results, including thse that run cunter t expectatin Fr quantitative analyses, reprt levels f statistical significance and effect size/strength f relatinship indicatrs Include sufficient descriptive statistics s the directin f the findings and the nature f the effect being reprted can be understd by the reader Fr qualitative analyses, reprt sufficient detail t justify hw yu arrived at the results and s the reader can assess the validity f the findings Just the facts here; d nt discuss r interpret the data (that cmes in the next sectin) Include tables and figures as apprpriate (eg, ANOVA tables, figures r explanatry qualitative diagrams that illustrate cmplex relatinships and cmparisns) 5 Tell the reader what t lk fr in tables and figures and prvide sufficient explanatin t make them readily intelligible 4 See the APA Publicatin Manual, pp 21-26, fr additinal infrmatin n the presentatin f statistics.

5 Envirnment, Behaviur & Sciety Research Grup 5 Avid using tables fr data that can be presented easily in a few sentences in the text Be scrupulus in presenting the data in as fair a manner as pssible Fr multiple studies being reprted in ne paper r reprt, describe the methd and results f each study separately Discussin and Cnclusin Maybe just ne-sixth f the paper, reprt r thesis, but a critical part, putting the results int cntext: Summarise the mst imprtant findings frm the study; pen the sectin with a clear statement f the supprt r nn-supprt fr the riginal hyptheses r the essential answers t the majr research questins Discuss similarities and differences between the results and the wrk f thers Evaluate and interpret the findings, ie, interpret r give meaning t the findings, tying them back t the research questins, hyptheses, thery(ies) and previus research reviewed earlier in the paper r reprt Emphasise any theretical implicatins f the results Discuss the strengths and limitatins f the study: acknwledge limitatins (be specific), suggest imprvements and address alternative explanatins fr the results Discuss the verall significance f the findings, ie, cmment n the imprtance f the findings Discuss the plicy, planning and/r design implicatins as apprpriate Discuss what wuld be the next steps in cntinuing research and develpment References Include a list f archival references, in standard APA frmat, f all published wrk directly cited in the paper If a reference is nt in English, translate the title int English (in parentheses). D nt reference unpublished r internal reprts, unpublished papers, cnference papers that have nt been published, r papers r bks in languages that are unlikely t be knwn t a majrity f readers. Minimise the use f n-line internet surces, as mst are nt refereed and d nt cnstitute schlarly archival literature. D nt cite ephemeral r nn-peer-reviewed website infrmatin. Fr n-line refereed publicatins and majr gvernment reprts, use the standard APA citatin frmat, and cite the date f retrieval. Appendix(es) Helpful if the detailed descriptin f certain material is distracting r inapprpriate in the bdy f the reprt Include research prtcls, unpublished tests and its validatin, new cmputer prgram designed fr yur research, instruments, cnsent frms, etc. (include in reprts, but usually nt in papers) Authr s Nte r Acknwledgements Identify surces f financial supprt Acknwledge supervisrs and ther clleagues prfessinal cntributins t the study Include disclsures, eg, that the study is based n a PhD thesis, the results were presented earlier at a cnference, and any relatinships that raise the pssibility f being perceived as a cnflict f interest Include cntact details fr further infrmatin cncerning the research d:\wpfiles\teaching\curses\research paper-reprt utline-lng versin.dc Rev: 20 Octber 2009
