Methodology — it's simply your plan of action for how you collect and analyze information. 📋

Nothing more complicated than that.

Think of it like a recipe. 🍳

Your research question is the dish you want to cook. Your methodology is the exact steps, tools, and ingredients you used to get there.

Change the recipe — you get a different dish. Change the methodology — you get different results.

And here's why it matters more than most students think 👇

Without a clear methodology, your findings mean nothing.

Anyone can claim a result. What makes research credible is being able to show exactly how you got there — so that someone else could repeat it and arrive at the same outcome.

That's the entire foundation of academic research. Reproducibility.

A weak methodology = a weak paper.

No matter how interesting your topic is. ⚠️

Tomorrow we break down the main types — and how to pick the right one for your research.

Your title should do one thing — describe your research exactly. 🎯

No more, no less.

A good research title usually answers three questions in one sentence:

🔬 What did you study
👥 Who or what was it focused on
📍 What was the context or condition

Here's what that looks like in practice 👇

❌ "A Study on Sleep"
✅ "The Effect of Screen Time on Sleep Quality Among High School Students"

❌ "Research on Plastic"
✅ "Microplastic Concentration in Urban River Water: A Case Study in Tashkent"

❌ "Social Media and Teenagers"
✅ "Social Media Use and Self-Esteem Levels in Adolescents Aged 14–17"

See the difference? The good ones are specific, clear, and self-explanatory.

Anyone reading it should know exactly what the paper is about — before reading a single word inside. 📄

Now your turn. 👇

Drop your research topic in the comments — and we'll help you turn it into a proper title, live, right here.

The Introduction is not where you start writing. ✋

It's where you start convincing.

Most students just… begin. They write whatever comes to mind and call it an introduction. Then wonder why it feels weak.

Here's what a strong Introduction actually does 👇

Think of it like a funnel.

You start wide — the big picture. You get narrower — the specific problem. You end sharp — your exact research question.

By the last sentence of your Introduction, the reader should know exactly what you're studying — and why it hasn't been answered yet.

That's it. That's the whole job.

Wide to narrow. Big to sharp. Every single time. 🎯

"Aren't the Abstract and Introduction the same thing?" 🤔

No. And mixing them up is one of the most common mistakes in student research.

They sit next to each other. They both talk about your research. But they do completely different jobs.

Here's the difference 👇

Abstract — a summary of your entire paper:

● Covers the problem, method, findings and conclusion
● Gives away the ending
● Can be read standalone, without the rest of the paper

Introduction — the opening argument of your paper:

● Builds context and background
● Leads to your research question
● Reveals nothing about your findings

Think of it this way —

The Abstract is the trailer. The Introduction is the opening scene. 🎬

One tells you how it ends. The other makes you want to find out.

Same paper. Two completely different purposes. ✅

Part 1. Ever read a research paper and skipped straight to the first page? 👀 That first thing you actually read — that's the Abstract. And for most students, it's also the thing they think about last. Big mistake. The abstract sits at the very top of…

Over the last 2 weeks, we discussed one important component of the research paper: the literature review. BUT there are still many other equally important parts we haven't mentioned yet.

Hence, we wanted to see which parts we can help with the most for our community.

You found the papers. Now what?

That's where the literature review comes in.

A literature review is not a summary. It's a map — showing what researchers have already discovered, where they agree, where they disagree, and where the gaps are.

It answers: "What do we already know about this topic?"

Why it matters
Every serious research paper, thesis, or grant proposal starts with one. Without it, you're reinventing the wheel — or worse, arguing something that's already been disproven.

How to write one (simplified)

1️⃣ Search — use Google Scholar, PubMed, SSRN (you know these now)
2️⃣ Filter — pick 10–20 relevant papers, prioritize cited ones
3️⃣ Read strategically — abstract → conclusion → then the rest if it's worth it
4️⃣ Group by theme — don't summarize one by one. Find patterns, debates, contradictions
5️⃣ Write synthetically — "Smith (2020) argues X, while Lee (2022) shows Y" — not just "this paper says..."

See real literature reviews in action

📌 Popat & Tarrant (2023) — social media & teen mental health
Search: Popat Tarrant 2023 adolescents social media mental health literature review

📌 Any WHO or UN report — they all begin with a lit review section. Pick any topic you care about.

📌 Your own field: search [your topic] + "systematic review" on Google Scholar — those ARE literature reviews.

The best way to learn how to write one? Read three. You'll see the pattern immediately.

📄 Types of research papers every high schooler should know

You have a great idea. You want to write a research paper. But where do you even start?

The answer usually depends on one thing: what type of paper are you writing? Most students skip this step — and that's where things fall apart. Here's your cheat sheet:

🔬 Experimental — design a real experiment, test a hypothesis, collect your own data. Best for science competitions.

📚 Literature Review — no lab needed. Read existing studies and synthesize what the field knows about a topic.

💬 Survey Research — build a questionnaire, gather real responses, analyze the trends. Surprisingly powerful with just 50 people.

🔍 Case Study — zoom in on one country, event, or person and extract broader lessons from it.

⚖️ Comparative Analysis — pick two subjects, apply the same criteria, and draw conclusions from the contrast.

🗣 Argumentative — take a clear position and defend it with logic and evidence. The classic academic paper.

📜 Historical — dig into primary sources and archives to connect the past to the present.

—

✅ Quick match: Science fair → Experimental · Humanities olympiad → Argumentative · Policy competition → Case Study or Comparative

Google Scholar is great. But if it's your only research tool, you're leaving a lot on the table.

Here are 4 databases worth bookmarking:

🔬 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
Best for: medicine, biology, health sciences
Run by the US National Library of Medicine. Free, massive, reliable. If your topic touches the human body — start here, not Google Scholar.

📄 https://www.ssrn.com/
Best for: economics, law, social sciences
Includes preprints — research that's not officially published yet. Great for cutting-edge work in policy and finance.

🤝 https://www.researchgate.net/
Best for: getting full papers for free
Authors upload their own work here. If Google Scholar shows a paper but no PDF — search it on ResearchGate. Works more often than you'd think.

🧠 https://www.semanticscholar.org/
Best for: when you don't know exactly what to search
AI-powered. Finds relevant papers even when you don't have the right keywords yet. Underrated.

Google Scholar is the starting point — not the finish line.

Which one was new to you? 👇

You have your question. Now what?

Picture this: you're researching why students from wealthy backgrounds perform better — even in equal schools. You Google it. News articles, opinions, Reddit threads. Nothing you can actually cite.

That's where most students give up.

Don't.

Meet GOOGLE SCHOLAR → http://scholar.google.com/

The Academic Oracle — millions of research papers, journals, and dissertations, all in one free place. Real research, not just opinions.

Here's what it gives you:

🔍 Actual studies — with data, findings, and conclusions you can cite
📎 "Cited by" — follow a decade of academic debate on any topic
📄 Free PDFs — many papers are readable right now, no paywall
🔔 Alerts — get emailed when new research on your topic is published

Type your question. Hit search. A decade of academic work appears in seconds.

Most students assume real research is locked and complicated. It's usually not. The paper you need might be one search away.

💬 Try it: take the question you posted last time, search it on Google Scholar — and tell us what you find.
