How to Organize a Research Paper
MIT OpenCourseWare
Audience shapes structure 0:00
Organization helps the audience follow a research paper. Start with general significance, the status quo, and the gap, then move to what you did and back to field significance.
Use the hourglass 2:00
This hourglass approach changes with audience. A wider top suits general readers. A longer stem suits readers who already know the background and want the specifics.
Build claims carefully 3:02
Arguments combine claims, evidence, and reasoning. Gather notes and results first, sort them into thematic bins, then connect them into one main claim that shows you did something new and useful.
