{The title should be a stand-alone statement that can fully describe the
research by summarizing the main idea of the manuscript. The title
should concisely identify the variables being investigated and the
relationship among those variables (American Psychological
Association [APA], 2010). Words should serve a useful purpose; avoid
words that do not add substance or words that are misleading.}

This provides the purpose for the research. This section of the paper
wants to investigate this problem, and how the research findings may
should be used to emphasize the need for this research. This section is
one of the most important sections of the Research paper; its serves to

TITLE OF RESEARCH PAPER
Proponent’s Name
This provides identification of major studies and literature that supports and validates
the topic; focuses on areas that offer support for new research, and offers the student
an opportunity to analyze and synthesize past research in the context of their present
problem. For the Research paper, the student should connect their research project to
a theoretical model reported in the literature. The most successful research projects
have been based on the research of predecessors, and this section of the Research
paper provides enough of a description of previous research to plant seeds in the mind
based on a wide-range literature review that is condensed into a summary of key points.
a. Foreign literature
b. Foreign studies
c. Local literature
d. Local studies
Once the researcher gathered all those foreign and local literature and
studies, he has to collate and synthesize them to show their relevance to his
undertakings.
