Research Paper writing 

Writing a research journal paper in the control domain involves a structured approach to ensure clarity and completeness. Here's a guideline to help you through the process:

1. Abstract

Consider this as the trailer of your research work presented in this paper and then to attract the researchers present the main highlights here. 

• Purpose: Summarize the entire paper in a concise paragraph.

• Content: Briefly state the 

  1. Problem (in two lines state the problem like monster). As in movies in the first half the villain is more powerful than anybody else on the screen. it's like to defeat villain is literally impossible. But when, under this circumstance when hero defeat villain, hero's image become larger than life.  Use this strategy to enhance our research or to showcase importance of our research. The problem statement we are working on represented as a very big and has a difficulty level is much higher, but it is important to solve, with suitable evidence.  (Very Important: still in this story don't bluff or showcase in unethical manner)

  2. Paper Methodology to solve the problem, 

  3. Results. (some abstract numbers like percentage improvement)

• Length: Typically 150-250 words.

• Tips: Be clear and direct, focusing on the key points of your research.

2. Introduction

In this generally don't write the much technical details. Try to write the layman's language as much as possible and start the introduction section with some social cause linking. 

• Purpose: Introduce the topic and provide background information.

• Content:

  • Context: Explain the broader context of your research.

  • Problem Statement: Clearly state the problem you are addressing. (Show problem as a big monster)

  • Objectives: Outline the goals of your research. 

  • Literature Review: Summarize relevant research, highlighting gaps your work will address. (also search the relevant journal papers from the same journal where you planning to communicate and cite them). At least 10 research journals form prestigious journals showcase and explain their findings.

  • Significance: Explain the importance and potential impact of your research. (The presented works significance)

• Tips: Keep it focused and ensure it logically leads to your research questions or hypotheses.

3. Methodology

• Try to add mathematics as much as possible to explain the phenomenon

• Describe how the research was conducted.

• System description

• Content:

  • Approach: Explain your overall research approach and design.

  • Procedures: Detail the specific procedures, tools, and techniques used.

  • Data Collection: Describe how data was collected.

  • Analysis: Explain how data was analyzed.

  • Control Techniques: Discuss any specific control techniques or algorithms used.

• Tips: Be detailed and precise to allow for reproducibility.

4. Results and Discussion

• Purpose: Present and interpret your findings.

• Content:

  • Results: Present the data and findings of your study.

  • Figures and Tables: Use graphs, charts, and tables to illustrate key results.

  • Discussion: Interpret the results, explaining their significance and implications.

  • Comparison: Compare your results with previous studies.

  • Limitations: Discuss any limitations of your study. (If required)

• Tips: Be objective in presenting results and provide a balanced discussion. Discussion should be in line with the objective presented in the introduction

5. Conclusion

• Purpose: Summarize the main findings and their implications.

• Content:

  • Summary: Briefly restate the main findings.

  • Implications: Discuss the broader implications of your research.

  • Future Work: Suggest areas for future research.

• Tips: Keep it concise and ensure it aligns with your introduction and results.

General Tips

• Clarity: Write clearly and concisely, avoiding jargon.

• Consistency: Ensure consistency in terminology, figures, and tables.

• Citations: Properly cite all sources and adhere to the journal’s formatting guidelines.

• Proofreading: Thoroughly proofread for grammar, spelling, and coherence.

• Feedback: Seek feedback from colleagues or mentors before submission.

Important Check list for paper 

1. Tittle should be in title case

2. Check all authors names, emails, affiliations, etc.

3. Check number of words in abstract and add keywords not more than 6.

4. Check you have declare all the abbreviations correctly, see journal or conference format.

5. Check you have correctly used \cite and \citep

6. Check you don't have any missing citations

7. Check you have small introduction to each section

8. Check if you label to all sections, sub, subsubsection, equations, figures, tables, theorems, etc.

9. Check if you used comma or fullstops after each equation

10. Check if you have referred all figures and tables in the paper

11. Check if you have fullstops at the end of caption in figure and table 

12. Captions should be in sentence case.

13. Equations are referenced as \eqref and fig and tables and \ref

14. Figure: labels should be in the format e.g., Velocity (v) [m/s], legends should be there for all lines 

15. SIunits should be in () in text and in [] in plots and tables and in normal font (not in math mode $$)

16. Check if you mentioned all possible variables and their description 

17. Equations: use proper syntax not only align, some variables which don't have any exact variable should be in text format e.g., ref is Reference so keep it as text but if you want to use y_r then use math mode

18. Either keep all numbers in the paper in math or text mode.

19. Table: use bold font for main row 

20. Check if you correct acknowledgements

21. All reference (except non published or in press) should have page numbers, all abbreviations should be in uppercase like FPGA, MPC, DSP, etc.

22. Use of comma before AND: if the list has>2 items e.g., MPC, PID, and SMC.

23. There is always a comma after i.e., e.g., and full-stop after etc.

24. MATLAB is the correct word, not Matlab or matlab.

25. Use of hyphens (-): e.g., fixed-point, FPGA-based. (if you use e.g., the don't use etc.). There should be a comma before etc.

26. All variable notations should be unique in the paper.

27. It is a general rule to define full-form and short-form for 1st use.

29. Check for double full-stops, commas, or white spaces.

30. Check grammar with Grammarly https://app.grammarly.com/docs/new by copy paste.

31. Space before Brackets - ()

32. Space before units , if within the mathematical $$ operation use ~

33. Write Table complete in the table reference. 

34. "nonlinear" is a complete word, dash does not come there.
