It is the technical writing that scientists do to communicate their research to others.
A systematic inquiry document entails data collection, critical information documentation,
and analysis and interpretation of that data/information by suitable methodologies set by
specific professional fields and academic disciplines.
A literature review article is a comprehensive summary of previous research. It is assumed
that by mentioning a previous work in the field of study, the author has read, evaluated, and
assimilated that work into the work at hand.
The peer review paper concerns the quality improvement of published research and
increasing communication within research communities.
A subset of systematic reviews is a method for systematically combining pertinent qualitative
and quantitative study data from several selected studies to develop a single conclusion with
greater statistical power.
A thesis is a hypothesis or conjecture. A PhD dissertation is a lengthy, formal document that
argues in defence of a particular thesis. Two important adjectives used to describe a
dissertation are ``original'' and ``substantial.'' The scientific method means starting with a
hypothesis and then collecting evidence to support or deny it.
A research journal is a periodical that contains articles written by experts in a particular field
of study who report the results of research in that field.

An International Standard Serial Number ISSN is an 8-digit code that identifies newspapers,
journals, magazines, and periodicals of all kinds and on all media–print and electronic.
Volume typically refers to the number of years the publication has been circulated.

The Digital Object Identifier (DOI®) System identifies content objects in the digital
environment. DOI® names are assigned to any entity for use on digital networks. They are
used to provide current information, including where they (or information about them) can be

where to find it, but its DOI name will not change.
Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work or ideas as your own, with or without their
consent, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement. All published and
unpublished material, whether in manuscript, printed or electronic form, is covered under this
definition.
Google Scholar is a popular way to showcase your papers and the citations they have
received. Google Scholar also calculates a platform-dependent h-index, which many
researchers love to track (for better or for worse).
Sci-Hub is a shadow library website that provides free access to millions of research papers
and books without regard to copyright by bypassing publishers' paywalls in various ways.
Journals mentioned by the UGC care list those match global standards of high-quality

These are the guidelines to follow when submitting a paper: ethics in publishing; changes to

A citation is a reference to a source. More precisely, a citation is an abbreviated alphanumeric

There are (3) major citation styles used in academic writing:
Modern Language Association (MLA)
American Psychological Association (APA)

Zotero is a free, open-source reference management software for managing bibliographic data
and related research materials.
Turnitin, Unicheck; Scribbr; Grammarly; PlagScan; Quetext; Plagramme.
An article review format allows scholars or students to analyze and evaluate the work of
other experts in each field. Outside the education system, experts often review the work of
their peers for clarity, originality, and contribution to the discipline of study.
When editing an article, describe the goal behind the topic you choose to express. Ask
yourself the objective of writing the article and check if your words clearly define your goals.
Proofreading means carefully checking for errors in a text before it is published or shared. It
is the last stage of the writing process when you fix minor spelling and punctuation mistakes,
typos, formatting issues and inconsistencies.
Proofreading is essential for any text that will be shared with an audience, whether it is an
academic paper, a job application, an online article, or a print flyer. Depending on your skills
and budget, you can proofread the text yourself or hire a professional.

institution.
Articles, books, and other materials indexed in bibliographic databases are accompanied by
specific information about the publication, including keywords. These keywords are the
terms used for indexing the document. Generally, it can include anything from formalized
indexing structures to words or phrases in the title and/or abstract. Each of the bibliographic
databases has its own vocabulary for this indexing.

Most journals operate under the guidance of an editorial board, providing expert advice on
content, attracting new authors, and encouraging submissions.
The Editorial Board, or (Editorial) Advisory Board, is a team of experts in the journal's field.
Editorial board members:
Review submitted manuscripts.
Advise on journal policy and scope.
Identify topics for special issues, which they may guest edit.
Attract new authors and submissions.
Promote the journal to their colleagues and peers.
Assist the editor(s) in decision-making over issues such as plagiarism claims and submissions
where reviewers cannot agree on a decision.

Open access (OA) refers to freely available, digital, online information. Open-access
scholarly literature is free of charge and often carries less restrictive copyright and licensing
barriers than traditionally published works for both the users and the authors.
While OA is a newer form of scholarly publishing, many OA journals comply with well-
established peer-review processes and maintain high publishing standards.
Copyright is a federal law. It is Title 17 of the United States Code.
Copyright is the right of authors to control the use of their work for a limited period.
A copyrighted work must be an original work of authorship which is fixed in a tangible

An abstract is a short summary of your (published or unpublished) research paper, usually
about a paragraph (c. 6-7 sentences, 150-250 words) long. A well-written abstract serves
multiple purposes:
An abstract lets readers get the gist or essence of your paper or article quickly to decide
whether to read the full paper;
An abstract prepares readers to follow the detailed information, analyses, and arguments in
your paper; later, an abstract helps readers remember key points.
It is also worth remembering that search engines and bibliographic databases use abstracts
and titles to identify key terms for indexing your published paper. So, what you include in
your abstract and title is crucial for helping other researchers find your paper or article.
