Here some tips to write a good paper.

1. Title – Ensure your paper title is precise, highlight the objectives of your paper and include the keywords that you expected for citations
2. Abstract – Should be short, sufficiently informative. Abstract should reveal the research problem and state clearly how you tackle it, with what method and should be wrapped with your contributions
3. Introduction – Be straight forward, highlight the objectives and proper keywords for citations
4. Conclusion – Should be something different to Abstract, highlight the greatness of your works. In conclusion, objectives achievement and your works’ shortcomings should be addressed well in Conclusion. Also, don’t disclose future works.

Happy reading and writing.

OOP stand for object-oriented programming that different with procedural or functional programming. OPP based on objects and are basically consisting of 4 main principles which are:

Encapsulation – When an object only expose the selected information.

Abstraction – Hides complex details to reduce complexity.

Inheritance – Entities can inherit attributes from other entities.

Polymorphism – Entities can have more than one form.

The UML Class diagram is a graphical notation used to construct and visualize object oriented systems. UML stand for Unified Modelling Language and closely related to object-oriented programming. UML diagram used widely to present a system or project/ application that based on object-oriented programming. In software engineering, a class diagram in the Unified Modeling Language is a type of static structure diagram that describes the structure of a system by showing the system’s classes, their attributes, operations, and the relationships among objects (Wikipedia). A class that showing 3 compartments (Figure 1) and the notations (Figure 2).

IEEE stands for The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is the massive technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. IEEE publishing makes the exchange of technical knowledge possible with the highest quality and the greatest impact. IEEE have the database for all the publications of journals and conferences conducted under IEEE. However, Papers published under IEEE journals are majority with high qualities and impacts compare with IEEE proceedings. That is because IEEE proceedings usually are collections of papers from conferences conducted by difference colleges/universities/academic institutions around the world and published through IEEE which means that IEEE only handle the post-publication process but not involve in the paper reviewing or appraisal team and not involve as conference committee.

ACM stands for Association for Computing Machinery is another educational and scientific computing society, delivers resources that advance computing as a science and a profession. ACM Digital Library includes all of the ACM journal papers and proceedings while ACM has been clarified as the most prestigious computing society.

Both IEEE and ACM are well-known and been clarified that majority of the IEEE and ACM journals are highly impact and produce many high quality academic papers in engineering and computing field.

Here I attached my own diagram that used to summarized my research. Can you identify the problem, objectives, solutions and contribution of my research? It is an effective way to express your research in an easy-to-understand manner through visualization. Feel free to share.

ISI-indexed journals are journals with impact factor indexed in the Web of Science. Generally, Web of Science Core Collection includes only journals that demonstrate high levels of editorial rigor and best practice and accepted widely by academic institutions around the world. WOS journals are high quality journals and only publish papers that wen through a stringent appraisal with high impact. In the citation reports provided by the WOS platform, public can check the detailed indexing information of a particular journal.

Quartile is used to determine the rank of a journal in its field of knowledge. Q1 is occupied by the top 25% of journals in the list; Q2 is occupied by journals in the 25 to 50% group; Q3 is occupied by journals in the 50 to 75% group and Q4 is occupied by journals in the 75 to 100% group. The most prestigious journals within a subject area are those which occupy the first quartile, Q1 and with greater impact factor. Presently, WOS journals are ranked into quartile based on 2 main indicators, one is Journal Citation Index  (JCI) and another one is Journal Impact Factor (JIF). JCI is new indicator with separate quartile. In the journal citation report (JCR) of a journal, we can check for both JCI and JIF information for the journal, however for new journal that just been indexed in WOS, only JCI is stated in its JCR. For majority institutions, JIF still is the main indicator to justify the quality of a journal and the ranking is still based on JIF.

As the most important part in Chapter 1 of your thesis, do you know how to write a good problem statement? Here some tips to address your research problem statement professionally (Credit to Dr. Thava, ProofreadingByPhD). A problem statement should:

1. Introduce why we need to talk about the Problem, to help readers understand.
2. Breakdown all existing solutions chronologically, to allow readers to understand of the past.
3. Appropriate critical review for existing solutions, to allow readers to digest of the Problems within Older Solutions.
4. Introduce your solution by using the critical reviews as the platform, to allow readers RATIONALIZE YOUR THESIS!
5. Connect your solution to the RO, to allow readers to understand how you gona do it.

p/s: Length of Problem Statement around 1 to 2 pages.
