Construction of Research article

Research is a good understanding of a current problem and researcher’s extensive efforts towards a new innovation with an excellence in various scientific fields, bringing practical knowledge explaining theoretically.

Title and Abstract

The title and abstract are the most important sections of a research or innovation. These sections decide the manuscript overall content and help reviewers and editors to decide whether to conduct a peer-review and edit the manuscript for processing. Peer reviewers are asked for their willingness in reviewing the manuscript by sending them the title & abstract sections.

It is important that the title should be easily read and understood, exact and brief as possible.

It is well-known that all the researchers search the article by the title or a keyword and it is essential that the title should be well structured and more searchable. So that it gets easier for a reader to understand the author’s intention of study with accurate, descriptive and complete.

An abstract is a quick overview of the manuscript and its structure differs for a different type of article. For a research the standard format used makes the researcher find the content of manuscript easier. The specified format in structuring an abstract follows
