Guidelines for writing student research papers
1 Content and format
A student research paper should resemble a scientific and creative work in terms of both content and
form. The formal structure is based on the standard division of scientific papers into a title page, table
of contents, literature review, aim of the paper, methodology (scope of the study), methodology, the
results themselves, their analysis, evaluation – discussion of the results, proposals and measures, and
conclusions, a list of references, appendices and a summary, or rather the requirements prescribed for
the submission of bachelor’s theses.
Detailed information on the individual chapters can be found in the materials for the course
‘Methodology of Academic Papers’, available on the VŠTE IS.
