- Abstract: Even if a writer has obtained interesting data and results, the quality of the research paper depends on how the author has academically and logically presented the findings and his or her interpretation of the data. This paper discusses what potential authors need to know about writing a high-quality research paper from the following perspectives: identification of research gap (s) based on literature review, clarification of author’s epistemological assumptions and employment of theoretical framework, emphasis on methodological rigor, provision of theoretical and practical implications that are applicable to readers’ context, and ensuring the consistency of author’s argumentation throughout the paper.
