Respected and dear researchers, I have started work on my first research paper, the topic is "SOCIO-CULTURAL AND ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVES OF APPLE FRUIT SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT" too many patterns and structures, I am confused that what should be included and what should be excluded? Like aim, purpose, significance, problem statement, limitation etc, the study is descriptive not empirical... I will be very thankful for your help and cooperation...or anyone can send me the relevant papers...Thanks in advance...
Fondest Regards
Muhammad Khan
Dear Muhammad Khan, I strongly suggest you have a look at the Scopus database by entering the keywords of your research. Once you have done it, you will see a list with dozens or hundreds of articles. Read the first 5 or six that call your attention and check up the name of the journal; and, there you are, you will have several candidates. Get into the Journal's section "Notes for the authors" or "Submission". Ther you will see what editors expect from auhtors. Certainly, you may read more than 5 or 6. Good luck.
you are asking: What will be the best pattern of a research paper to be published in a top journal? and in the text you mentioned it is the first paper for you! in this case, my advice is to be realistic in publication. The requirements, criteria,, content, methods,etc.. for top ranked journal each field of research are not easy to meet. So, you can go with moderate level of journal to start the experience of publishing. I suggest on you, based on your text above,, to work with a team or expert research as starting step.
Good luck
This depends on the type and nature of search results to be published.
Thank you respected and dear Dr. Rafael Ibarra for your preciouse time and fruit full suggestions

What will be the best pattern of a research paper to be published in a top journal?
Suggesting not to worry about the patterns & structures at this moment. More importantly at this moment is to understand what is the research problem / problem statement - e.g. what is the problem you try to address by studying apple fruit supply chain management from socio-cultural & economic perspectives? Why not from technological perspective? why apple and not orange etc.? Is it due to certain local social / cultural practices etc. that cause the apples produced got rotten before they are successfully shipped to market? etc.
Once the research problem / problem statement is nailed down, the rest of the items like research aim / purpose, research approach, structure, limitation etc. can be handled more easily. Wishing you all the best.
Respected and dear Dr. Han Ping Fung, I have no words except thanks to appreciate your reply and the way you are encouraging me...such a great people like you and others researchers who gave me their specious time, for helping me and guiding me, I think if I am working hard will not get any problem to complete my research, and second if I got any problem if you don,t mind I will send you personal mesg...
