Normally there should not be any limitation on the length of the paper but most of the journals do not accept very lengthy MS for publication, say more than 20 pages or so.
Its not very simple to answer. Pls search in the Google and you will get the link for writing a research paper (the steps details). Before that you must know the research process based on which you will write your paper. Research paper has no page limitation. It depends. It may be a single page to double /triple figure of page number. For further check and help pls contct with me by [email protected]
How you write a research paper depends largely on the audience or platform. For example, Is the research paper for a journal publication or for a conference proceeding? Journals and conferences have their guidelines and requirements. It will be necessary to get these guidelines and stick to them.
Overall however, a research paper should clearly state the research problem and the gap(s) in the literature the research is intended to contribute to filling, the objective(s) of the research or the question(s) the research addressed as well as the methods employed in conducting the research. It should also state, the key findings of the research research, the inferences the researcher draws from these findings and any implications of the research for theory and practice. The paper should be written in good grammar and so proofreading is often necessary especially for non-native speakers of the language in which the paper is written.

How long is a piece of string? There is no answer to your question as all journals are different and all papers are different. Most journals have page/word limits for papers to save on costs and to follow a particular format, such as a communication or a letter.
However, your paper should be as short or as long as necessary to communicate your research findings. That is the perfect paper length.
