You have a few options in regards to titling your paper. You can title in form of a question, for example: "Should administration prohibit smoking on campus?" Another option is a summary format, for example, "Student opinions of the smoking ban." The two-part format is another titling option, for example, "Smoking on campus: A collection of student opinions."
The abstract is a brief summary of the entire paper. Goals, objectives, results and conclusions should be included. This part of the research paper follows the title and should be between 100 and 500 words. To write a clear, concise overview of the paper, it's best to write the abstract last.
The introduction should clearly explain why the paper was written. The introduction provides background information on the topic, describes the purpose of the paper and gives a brief overview of what the paper contains. This part should not be more than two pages long.
This section describes your research. You should explain how you collected data and why you chose to collect information in this manner. For example, if you collected information through surveys, you should describe the survey itself, how you distributed the survey, who completed the survey and how many people completed the survey. This section should be clear enough that someone could repeat the research if they wanted.
This section describes the data you collected. Sometimes it's helpful to illustrate the data using charts and graphs. You should also included a description of the data so the reader understands the important points. For example, if you collected data on student opinion of a smoking ban, you may say, "73 percent of students surveyed approved of a campus-wide smoking ban."
This section describes what you'd like the reader to take away from your paper. In the conclusion, you state what you learned or proved in your study. You can include anything major you've accomplished in the study. Any interesting observation, new questions that arose or future work you're planning can be included here.
