Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the process of writing and publishing a research paper, specifically focusing on the topic "Analysis of the voltage regulation of Self excited induction generator using STATCOM." Participants share guidance on various aspects of research paper preparation, including the abstract, literature review, and the significance of results.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that the abstract should be written last and inquires about specific areas where the original poster feels stuck.
  • Another participant emphasizes the importance of having meaningful results and questions whether the work contributes to advancing science.
  • A different participant advises that familiarity with existing research papers is crucial and recommends mimicking their style for publication.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants provide various suggestions and insights, but there is no consensus on a single approach to writing the research paper. The discussion reflects multiple perspectives on the necessary steps and considerations involved in the process.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the original poster's uncertainty about their progress and the lack of clarity on their results and literature review status.

So I want to write a research paper and publish it before I complete my engineering degree this year. I have selected the topic which is "Analysis of the voltage regulation of Self excited induction generator using STATCOM". I have collected all the resources required and am also doing research. But I don't know where to start? I haven't prepared abstract yet. Your academic guidance will be highly appreciated, if detailed.

The abstract is the last thing you write.
Where exactly are you stuck? There is a plethora of great resources around, googling 'how to write a research paper' is a good start.
Do you have a supervisor? Have you written a research proposal? Have you done a literature review?
 
Do you have results? Do they make sense? Is your work advancing science in a meaningful way? Do others publish on the topic? If it's just reporting on some simulations then you'll have a hard time even if you can answer yes to the above questions.
 
If you want to publish, then you should have read quite some research papers before. You'll need to copy their style mostly.
