Good research paper

Good research paper has some peculiar characteristics of its own which are dependant upon the type and nature of the research work. However, being a technical work, it involves some general characteristics which are essential for every good research work. Of these the most important are characteristics are as follows:

1) Attractiveness: The report should be attractive to look. It should be printed or typed on good paper. If required for wider circulation, it should be printed; other wise it may be typed on one side of the paper. After proper binding, it is better to give some connected diagram or sketch on the front page.

2) Balanced Language: A good report has a balanced language. A balanced language includes necessary technical terms on the one hand, while on the other, it is simple and clear as far as possible.

3) Absence of repetition: A good report should not have any repetition. Repetitions make it unnecessarily bulky and boring. Therefore, without repetitions, each point should be made clear in its own place.

4) Absence of imaginations: A good report must be scientific and factual. It should include analysis and presentation beyond any doubt about its validity. Therefore, it should not have any place for imaginary and subjective descriptions.

Good research paper has all the basic regulations that make it a suitable piece for presentation.
