Undertaking Serious Academic Research: The Realities and Challenges

1. Undertaking Serious Academic Research: The Realities and Challenges

2. Whether you are an undergraduate just about to learn about academic writing, a graduate school student who is always swamped with research papers for you every subject he takes, a PhD holder constantly seeking gateways to have your academic research published, or simply a researcher who is genuinely passionate about contributing research works in your respective industry, at one point or another, the struggle to start, carry out and finish writing your study can be really daunting and draining.

3. Let alone, the necessary finances to accomplish the research may be economically challenging too especially if this is a longitudinal study that you are conducting.

4. Sarah Lenox, 23, a graduate school student and a university professor about to finish her thesis on linguistics and literature has shared the trials and trivialities of academic research, “If I never entered graduate school, I would have never straightened up in technical writing and never in my wildest dreams could I have ever taken APA and MLA citations seriously.

5. “Writing academic paper in my level should always be devoid of any traces of plagiarized content. No copy-pasting can ever escape the eye of my professors. I think I even dream about my research questions, thesis statement, and kept being bugged with Appendices and the IMRD format in my nightmares because I am already dreading getting into the middle of my research work knowing that the grant I get from a university in Singapore where I lecture may not be enough if I extend another term to make sure my paper will cover everything I have set out to accomplish.”

6. This is quite a normal dilemma for grad school students as most of them either rely on their part-time work or financial aids to finish their master’s degree. Something that is very hard to juggle as research work in the graduate level should never be sophomoric—and no teacher will merit a half-baked paper with a high mark.

7. Similarly, Mark Suarez, 19,an engineering student He’s currently taking an academic writing subject also shares how challenging it is to carry out a research, “My background in Statistics is not as advanced as I had hoped.”

8. Most of the prescribed research papers for engineering students like me are quantitative in nature—and I think I might be needing a statistician to help me interpret the findings I got for the research or else I would have nothing objective to write in my results and discussions section.”

9. Jean Paul Briaks, PhD., 52,a Dean in a college in Singapore who is regularly seeking research grant and funding from known educational institutions for his colleagues and himself

10. To get noticed on international publications has mentioned how research seekers should strive to find gateways to endeavours that are worthy to be read by the academic and research community tirelessly

11. “ The tasks to research and write are some of the most undervalued pedagogical efforts in the world—and most of those who have the talent to write with objectivity, universality, and depth do not always pursue research because they cannot easily find publications and granting institutions to uphold and publish their projects.”

12. “This is the reason why I often use communicate with my contacts and connections, and I always try to help my fellow academicians in finding support for their research.”

13. The world needs more studies on different fields that’s why we should never tire of helping our researchers out. In the long run, the one who will reap the fruits of their labor are the people who knew nothing about the value of what researchers do for the world.”
