Assignment 2: Individual Assignment Assignment Brief: Structure and Approach Scientific research must begin with a defined research question, which results in a well-designed research protocol that plans the overall approach. This foundation should lead to a set of data from which the manuscript can be constructed. Title: A title page should be included. State the title of the manuscript, which should be short and simple, as well as authors and author affiliations. Provide approximately 5 key words, as well as a short title (sometimes referred to as a running title) for the manuscript. Finally, provide complete contact information for the corresponding author (Name and student ID). Abstract: The abstract is typically a single paragraph ( 250-300 words). It should include general information related to the topic, general problem statement, methodology used, analysis, findings, contribution. Followed by Key words. Introduction: The introduction requires a short review of the literature pertaining to the research topic. The introduction is then best constructed as a descriptive funnel, starting with broad topics and slowly focusing on the work at hand. Perhaps three to four paragraphs are needed. Explaining problem statements. Following with the aim of the study or research objectives along with research questions. Then, follow with the significance of the research. Literature review: Literature review should be related to the topic, feasible with independent variables and dependent variables. Explaining mediator or moderator, if any. One approach may be to start with one or two paragraphs that introduce the reader to the general field of study. The subsequent paragraphs then describe how an aspect of this field could be improved. The final paragraph is critical. It clearly states, most likely in the first sentence of the paragraph, what experimental question will be answered by the present study. The hypothesis is then stated. Next, briefly describe the approach that was taken to test the hypothesis. Finally, a summary sentence may be added stating how the answer of your question will contribute to the overall field of study. Methodology: This section should be a straightforward description of the methods used in your study. Each method should be described in a separate section. Describe the context and setting of the study, specify the study design, describe the population (companies, industry, consumers, etc). Describe the sampling strategy, identify the main study variables, describe data collection instruments and procedures, outline analysis methods. Discussion: The discussion section, often the most difficult to write, should be relatively easy if the previous suggestions have been followed. In particular, look to the last paragraph of the introduction. If the work has characterized a phenomenon by studying specific effects, use the results to describe each effect in separate paragraphs. If the work has presented a hypothesis, use the results to construct a logical argument that supports or rejects your hypothesis. If the work has identified three main objectives for the work, use the results to address each of these objectives. A well-defined study that is described in the Introduction, along with supporting results that are presented in the Results section, should ease the construction of the Discussion section. Begin the Discussion section with a brief paragraph that again gives an overview to the work. Summarize the most important findings and, if applicable, accept or reject the proposed hypothesis. Next, identify the most interesting, significant, remarkable findings that were presented in the Results section, and contrast these findings in light of other studies reported in the literature. It is often informative if a discussion of the potential weaknesses of the interpretation is also included. Finally, at the end of the Discussion section, consider the other works in the literature that address this topic and how this work contributes to the overall field of study. Conclusion: Again, first introduce the work and then briefly state the major results. Then state the major points of the discussion. Finally, end with a statement of how this work contributes to the overall field of study. References: Include all references that have been cited in the text. The references should be well considered, so that they contain all key sources in the field as well as previous studies that support or motivate the present work. APA format. Choose your own topic you are interested in. The scientific manuscript should be not less than 3000 words. This is an Individual assignment The assignment will be given 30% of the total marks
