The research paper is the conclusion of a process that includes research, source evaluation, critical thinking, organization and composition. This process starts with a topic or a subject matter that needs to be researched. The research papers should lead the reader to other studies related to it so they can see the extent and relationships of the researches that have been performed in the discipline.
    The primary and most significant step in writing a successful research paper is coming up with a killer topic. It should be formulated in the sense that it will develop curiosity questions to the reader. For example, it should bring about the following questions;
•    What the problem is?
•    What is the reason it is, being researched?
•    Why is the writer writing about the problem?
•    Is there a need for the problem to be researched on?
The writer, on the other hand, should ask the following questions after formulating their topic;
•    How much is known about my topic?
•    What needs to be researched?
•    Are there any key ideas that can be used in the study, and what are they?
•    Where the information about my topic is found
