In order to understand how to structure an empirical research paper, it is essential to understand its meaning of it. Empirical research is a type of research that focuses on things that are based on the researcher\u2019s first-hand experience and observation and is thus verifiable<\/em>.<\/p>\n The results of an analysis that are reached can be compared to any already existing theories. However, the data is based on first-hand experience.<\/p>\n Thus, the data that is collected for an empirical thesis is primary data since it is based on personal experience, says Freddie Jacob a research associate at Best Dissertation Service<\/a><\/strong>. But as far as the literature review is concerned, it can be based on readings from a secondary source in order to form a firm background of the topic under consideration.<\/p>\n For example, research is being conducted to find out if reading books of a particular genre affect your overall thinking and personality. Let us say reading sci-fi fiction makes you think more creatively. Alternatively, does comedy fiction makes your sense of humour work better.<\/p>\n The analysis or the results of this research will lead to an empirical research paper where you will gather data based on true experiences from real life. Hence, the results derived are based on the elements listed below:<\/p>\n The elements of Empirical Research consist of the following:<\/p>\n Either using Qualitative or Quantitative Methods of Analysis can perform empirical research.<\/p>\n This methodology is used to collect data that is non-numerical. It is gathered from groups of people through interviews and experiments. This method is relatively unstructured since it is based on people\u2019s opinions and the views of the people involved. Expressed by Sabrina joseph a research specialist for the European Business Review. <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The extent of this research is small-scale, and it is used to provide a better understanding or insight into the topic.<\/p>\n This research is used to collect data based on numerical values, thus giving quantifying opinions and behaviour patterns. Compared to qualitative research, this is structured research and is based on polling results, surveys conducted, and graphs of behaviour changes in a group of people.<\/p>\n Both these research methods are employed in an empirical research paper. It depends on what type of question is under analysis, depending on which one of these is chosen. These research designs will enable the researcher to answer the empirical question.<\/p>\n However, there might be cases where the researcher might be tempted to use both of these research methods to get a better understanding of the research question.<\/p>\n Empirical research is based on the researcher\u2019s observation and experience; thus, it is essential to form a methodology and then conduct the research. Having a methodology will help the researcher in case any problem arises during the research process.<\/p>\n The researcher has to be very clear about his ideas and should know what is that he is willing to find and work upon. Knowing the problem will enable them to think about what ways it could be solved. In addition, it would help them know if there is any lack of resources and from what means it could be fulfilled.<\/p>\n It is also integral to find out if the research and the outcomes will be beneficial to the incurred costs. To see if the data result will be fruitful and beneficial to a large number of people. This will help the researcher identify the significance of their research paper.<\/p>\n When conducting research, it is important to see if there are any theories, which could be linked to the research problem, hence giving it weightage and significance.<\/p>\n Also, the researcher can look up if there is any previous research, which has been conducted on the same, and if there is any existing material already available on the same topic, which could be used as relevant literature in carrying out the research.<\/p>\n Before setting up the research work, the researcher has to make some assumptions and hypotheses to see if they prove to be correct. All the variables have to be set up by the researcher himself, and then find out the existing relationship between them.<\/p>\nElements of an Empirical Research<\/strong><\/h2>\n
