Dear Mr. Manzar Ahmad,

Writing a RESEARCH PAPER requires a Research Activity as the very first agenda.

Now, as you can well understand (Since you are supposed to write a Research Paper ) that there are several methodologies for Research and the writing essentially depends upon your specific research issue.

However, certain common points like Introduction, Materials and Methods, Observation, Analysis; Discussion Result and Conclusion generally constitutes a Research Paper. As I can remember a few weeks ago a free Research Methodology book was made available in this LISLinc. You can download that book and can go through it. I can personally recommend the book How to Write and Publish a scientific Paper by Robert A. Day. It was earlier Published by ISI Press.[ Later the Cambridge University Press of India supposedly published that book a few years ago (probably during 2005-6)]

As I Understand the 5th. edition of the book is jointly authored by Robert A.Day & Barbara Gastel. Incidentally, Gastel has authored an equally excellent book entitled Presenting Science to the Public

Incidentally, In case you want to pursue career with Research activities, You have to READ and reading does not mean just clicking internet which many of us opt for now-a-days!
