I think the hardest part of the research methodology or the thesis ... Greetings

I think the research methodology is the most difficult and I support my colleague in this aspect and I do not forget also the introduction is also need to formulate well and have some kind of difficulty.

Interesting question dear Dr. Mohammed,

"The interpretation of results"

This is the hardest part that I do.

Dear Dr. Mohammad

The hardest part was the result

Easiest abstract

hardest discussioni

Do not understimate the abstract. It is often the only part of the research that is evaluated to decide if start a review process or reject without referral. Morevoer, it is the only part of the manuscript that is freely accessible by everyone in internet, therefore has to summarize the manuscript perfectly.

However, it is not so easy to select the most important results and briefly justify the importance of the research in a very limited number of words…

In my opinion there is no easiest way for writing thesis.One will have to work hard,acquire extensive knowledge on domain and interdisciplinaryarea and then only one can write thesis.

The easiest part is the results because we can write them as we have gotten them. The hardest part is the discussion because we might make a wrong interpretation from our preconception.

After completion of data analysis, photography marking and collection of sufficient reviews, I face the toughest problem in STARTING of writing of article/thesis. I also feel same problem during starting of DISCUSSION part.

I found that the abstract was the,easiest part because I waited until the end to write it.

thanks dr Yu

I do agree that the easiest part is the results section. This is always something we cannot change and ready to adopt as result of the analysis stage. However, discussion is where your creativity is required to interpret data and gain conclusions. Hope this helps.

The abstract is the easier part and discussing the results is the hardest.

I agree with Arwa but results of the work are also important

Thank you very much for all coalleguos for your valuable answers

I agree with Dr Han. Every section has different difficulty level, but can be easily handled as suggested by Dr Han.

Thank you so much for sharing these important views.

Also thanks to this question.

With best regards

Hi,

Thanks so much for the question. The interpretation and discussion of results.

With my best regards!

Dr. Adel OUESLATI

Hi,

For a thesis, the answer for this question is more difficult. Because a thesis is a set of several works and several results (For example: In a same thesis we can find hydrodynamic study and heat transfer study and mass transfer study, each of these studies can be an object of paper and there are several interactions between these studies which can also an object of a paper. So, the thesis is a set of several studies and different results. Therefore the writing of thesis is more difficult than a paper.

With my best regards!

Dr. Adel OUESLATI

I utterly agree with Akshaykumari Jhala submission, the concept framework aspect is also tasking especially if it a new concept with little research on it.

Thank you

I don't see anything hard or easy in the writing of a scientific research paper. I approach the writing of all its aspects with caution and seriousness. Personally, the writing of the introduction and conclusion comes naturally easy for me. I love the discussion section of my papers since that showcase the 'real' work on the phenomena, though it requires a lot of real scholarly thinking.

The easiest and happy moment related with writing of a Thesis or Article is THE WRITING OF FORWARDING LETTER BEFORE SUBMISSION.

Do you not agree with me?

Dear Mohamed,

I also agree that the discussion section is often the most difficult to write …

The hardest one is how to write your contribution to the current knowledge.

I think the writing of discussion is the hardest part, while conclusions are the easiest part in writing a research.

Scientific writing is another world than the experiment. The whole writing is meticulous process, every part needs special attention. I do not see the writing locate between easy and hard parts.

Best regards

In my opinion, there is no the easiest part of a thesis, it is a serious and challenging process and the hardest parts is methodology and interpretation of results.

Best wishes

Even page numbering is a difficult task. Lots of students get that as a correction after the review of their thesis. It's interesting.

I agree with Dr. Han

In my opinion, the real judge in your research success is how to explain the results obtained during study period. 

Despite the brilliant Literature review which you already prepared, and well-organized methodology where used in the study design, as well as the proper listed results, the research still need a real, obvious and convincing ideas and opinions to support the actual purpose behind creating the research idea. 

Whatever the resources used in the research body design from literature review till results will not be enough to come your research out into the light. 

The role of your creative and distinctive thinking in how to connect those data together and exclude the causes and reasons of resultant data in scientific and logical manner will make the difference. 

Thank you very much for all coallegues for your valuable answers

Methods are often the easiest part of the thesis to write. You can easily outline which method you chose and why (your methodology); what, when, where, how and why you did what you did to get your results.

Discussion is the hardest to write. It is difficult to comment on your results, explain what your results mean, interpret your results in a wider context, indicate which results were expected or unexpected, and provide explanations for unexpected results.

Dr. Han, explained and answered it very well. I agree with Dr. Han.

Thank you very much for all coallegues for your valuable answers

Dear Mohamed G. E. Gadallah ,

in my opinion the hardest two parts are: 1-introduction, where by you do the "positioning" of your research problem and identify the gap in the previous literature that your study are going to fill in, and -2- the discussion, where by you show the strength of your findings comparing to similar studies and convince the reader why you have such results, this is where the skilled writers shows their skills...

and easiest parts are: results, whereby you report your findings, and the abstract where you summarize the content of the study briefly...

regards

Thank you so much Dr. Esmat Wahdain for your answer

I think the hardest part the discussion

Discussion

It is too widely open and controversy question. The answer of this question depends on the individuals capability. However and overall, i believe the hardest part is synthesizing the literature review part, along with the discussion part of your result especially if the hypothesis outcome contradict the underpinning theory. This really needs a strong and convincing justifications.

I think the hardest part the discussion

Easy part is abstract, and hardest part is discussion.

The hardest was putting the literature review together, I am yet to reach the discussion
