What are the major problems that researchers confront in writing up their
research? Discuss these problems and identify those that you have
encountered most often in your own writing. Present a plan for overcoming
these problems.
Selected
Answer: The major problems that i think researchers confront in writing
up their research is that they have poor time management, little
or no literature to refer to, they have not have much research
training or that they have little to no data and lastly because the
library may have outdated or may not have enough books. Poor
time management may play a role because when you have
deadline, if you do not provide yourself with ample amount of
time to work on the research, the less time you have, the more
you stress about getting everything turned in on time. When
you have little or no literature, it is hard because literature plays
a big role in research. You have to have multiple literature
available to be able to compare. If you have not had must
training on research then it can cause a problem because you
have to know the research methods in order to write a research
paper. If not data is available then it will be very difficult to write
a research paper or it may not be able to be done at all. If the
library does not have enough books or if it is outdated, it will
make it difficult to write the research paper. I find myself having
all of these same problems as well. I have gotten past he time
management part but i struggle with trying to find a topic that is
researchable or that has data available. What i do now is i try to
make sure that i write multiple choices on what i want to do
research on and i review how much data is available for each
topic, that way i know that there is enough data for me to be
able to do research on. My plan for overcoming these problems
is to make sure that i am aware of how much data i can find on
each subject and to make sure there is enough data available
for me to go off of.
