How To Write Research Paper?

How do I write a research paper for a computer science journal?

• I need info on how to write a research paper, How to decide topic for research paper, what is expected from author in research paper and need explanation with good examples.

• Answer:

  A research paper is merely a document comprised of theory + experiment + results + conclusion. The content of a research paper may include observations from your project, optimization of code or improvement in an algorithm from a previous paper. So, the topic of the paper should simply be what the paper is expected to deliver! Just like in the story books. Now, as far as journal publication goes, I know that it is very difficult to get one. It is because your thesis is scrutinized by a panel (in your related field) and it takes months before you know the status of your paper. The panel is usually comprised of veterans who have decades of industry and field experience. It would be hard in your case as the paper title itself is undecided. As to what is expected out of an author, the answer is simple. You must be able to communicate your ideas and observations of your project into the publisher specific format. I would suggest, you look into journal call for papers which are declared monthly, quarterly or semi annually in your specialization (AI, ANN, Networks, Embedded). The format for the paper will be given in the website itself. My advice: Send it to multiple conferences so that you get reviews for your paper. When you think that your paper is up to mark, send it to a reputed publisher (IEEE, ACM, Springer). The best way to write a paper is to refer to other previously published papers. And as for the examples you ask, I would suggest you look into the countless papers related to your specialization available on the internet. You can find those on the Springer website or IEEE Xplore. Good luck publishing!
