A research paper typically includes several key components: Title (describing the study’s focus), Abstract (a brief summary of the research), Introduction (outlining the research question and objectives), Literature Review (reviewing existing research), Methodology (detailing the research design and methods), Results (presenting findings), Discussion (interpreting results and their implications), and Conclusion (summarizing key points and suggesting future research). References (citing sources) and Appendices (supplementary material) may also be included, depending on the study's requirements.
