How to write a research paper step by step: all 8 sections explained, in the right order to write them (figures first, abstract last). If you've ever stared at a blank page wondering where to start, this is the exact workflow I use, from figures and results to methods, discussion, introduction, conclusion, abstract and title.

Most people write a research paper in the order it's read, and that's why it feels so hard. In this video I break down every section of a research paper using real examples from published papers, so you can see exactly what each part needs to do. Whether you're a beginner, an undergraduate, a master's or PhD student, or an early career researcher writing your first journal article, this works for any field.
