Interesting question dear Dr. Mahesh Kumar .

My first and foremost real purpose of writing a research paper is to communicate my findings inclusive of my own interpretation, evaluation or argument, or experiences or technologies or techniques so that others will use the innovation to solve related problems easily. The other purpose of writing a research paper includes but not limited to:

• To update my self with the science
• To fulfill the requirements of promotion in my institution
• To enrich my CV for better positions and further educations
• etc

Purpose of research is to add to body of knowledge.

Research also help in advancing various theories and technologies.

The contribution made by researchers is disseminated to larger community of researchers and others through publication.

For me, writing of research paper/ review paper etc. have NO relationship with my carrier.

I perform a little research almost completely with my own personal expanses. I publish the findings of the research to inform the scientific community.

YES, I definitely get pleasure from this work.

I desire to contribute to the universal body of knowledge in my discipline, especially by bridging the gap created by the dearth of scholarly ideas which caused a stunt on the growth of the (tourism development) discipline in my country.

To share my observations or findings with colleagues so that more is known about what I do

Writing a research paper or review reflect our need to do the kind of good work. In the general objective from writing paper that you increase the level of your carrier, because I'm needing of paper to expose my Ph.D without paper I can't obtain my Ph.D, after that I need paper to pass in grade. With the passing of the time writing a paper will be a gate to make some relationship with my colleagues in the others countries to the knowledge of my work and my ability to resolve some problems in research.

great question Dr. Mahesh

great question Dr. Mahesh

My approach uses two levels of research writing: level one is a radical and fundamental synopsis of applicable knowledge in a specified field of human practice; level two is a creative and logical composition of a new research perspective, for practical and professional applications. Theory is methodically the aerial line towards a destination, but in empirical practice we are pedestrians and detours are not avoidable. Science should be re-connected to life and include the real human experience.

agree with @ Beemnet Mengesha Kassahun

Writing is the surest way by which we can expose ourselves to public criticism . The main purpose behind writing a paper is to let others know how you think about a particular reality . Very often, we may be wrong in our interpretations and judgments. A research paper , therefore, can serve as a reflective resource whereby we share our information with the others to see how far off we have been from our personal predictions concerning the truth or falsity of a given reality.

Dear RG colleagues thanks for sharing your views behind writing a research paper.

Thanks again.

I follow the answers

To make impact by contributing to the existing body of knowledge

To expand the boundaries of knowledge and to make meaningful contributions to scholarship in my field.

Interesting question. I agree with Dr. Beemnet Mengesha Kassahun.

To share our writing whether a research paper or any of our contemplate it is absolutely essential to know the writer to whom we also know & experience & share our views in this line if we have with him a positive line of action than we may share our writing but generally we should keep our own writing with ourselves as it is our own satisfaction & it s the tune of our mind & heart .

This is my personal opinion

I write in RG for posterity, and in some conference volumes my presentations and lectures are visible. All other things in Wikipedia are visible.

The purpose of my research writing is to achieve the addition of quality in the field of specialization.

1. Disseminate information to the world

2. Be able to network with other individuals who are working in similar areas

3. Bring visibility to the organization you are working for as well as the funder

4. Take pride in your work and contribution to the society

To contribute my quota to the existing bode of knowledge and be part of the intellectual enterprise.

Very good question Prof Mahesh. Here are my answers:

1. I am not into teaching or research, so its not a requirement for me to write research papers. Most of my research papers originate from my work - attempting to conceptualize day-to-day experience. I also avoid publishing, except on ResearchGate, as I do not wish to go through all the formal structures that are required for publishing.

2. When I see a lot of junk being put-out as Research papers, it annoys me no end. I therefore publish to bring a practitioners and practical perspective to research.

3. Sometimes I am invited to conferences & seminars to present papers or speak. In such cases also, I put such work on RG, as it may be useful to other academics and researchers.

Interesting question, the researchers have a good reasons for making researches.

I believe that publishing articles and sharing your knowledge is the duty of every scientist and the obvious sense of doing science.

In addition, it is also a pleasure and gives a lot of personal satisfaction and enriches the achievements of the institution.

I am utterly agree with Dr.Joanna point of view.

Emad

To update my self with the web of science.

To contribute in my to the existing body of knowledge in my area of specialization. Informing the research community through scholarly publications. Also to get funding, grants(conferences among others) and promotion.

Hi Mahesh,

... to share and to disseminate knowlede, primarily. The secondary purpose would be to create a series of artifacts for future researchers.

Have a great day!

--Adrian

Dear RG colleagues thanks again for sharing your views.

To create new knowledge so that others can be benefited by using it.

To add something!

Global acceptance and implimentation of the work done for the betterment of environment and society.

I definitely agree with dear Dr.Joanna and Dr beemnet point of view , but would like to add another point, As I have used a lot from others help by their papers , I would like to join in this positive circle and help others probably one day by my paper and also help to rescue the environment by my finding! not to sell it or keep it as patent.

Best regards

Dear sir

My intention to extend the border of science

In recent time, my writings/articles are tailored toward contributing to improvement of the quality of lives of Folks living in the rural communities where people live on less than $ 2.00 per day, with focus on teacher quality, energy policies, renewable energy development and rural electrification.

Whatever be your motive, personal or otherwise, after completing your research work you should publish the results. A major channel of publication of results is as a research paper in a reputed journal so that maximum scientists get a chance to read it. Remember that new research is often based on the work of others. One may start where another scientist stopped.

Research workers bring out new ideas and information continually on various aspects of science. However, such research results, if not made available to the widest possible audience within a reasonable time are worthless. Therefore, after the completion of research projects, research workers must compile the results and publish them in scientific journals with interpretations and clear conclusions.

I need not emphasize that for a successful career in an academic or research institution, publications are necessary especially to get promotions. In fact, many institutions rate their scientists based on the number and quality of publications made out of research.

Thanks @ C George Thomas for your nice reply.

Thanks again

To contribute to the knowledge and progress in my field study and also for academic promotion.

My real purpose of writing is to stay in the scientific discourse of my research field and to work on professional progress by exploring new frontier topics. One life-time is a short period for all these learning processes, so it is imperative to learn from the accumulated and time-tested wisdom of former generations, in science and in life.

Nice reply@Stephen I. Ternyik

Thanks

Yes,

Sharing research, a wider audience makes you more visible in your field. This helps you get cited more, enabling you to cultivate a stronger reputation, promote your research and move forward in your career. Sharing your article is an important part of research and it’s important to share.

Research results can be presented in a variety of ways, but one of the most popular—and effective—presentation forms is the research paper. A research paper presents an original thesis, or purpose statement, about a topic and develops that thesis with information gathered from a variety of sources.

Purposes of writing research papers.

1. Academic promotion

2. Identify national Environmental problems, document it and seek suitable solution.

3. Train my research students

Nice answer dear@ Nafees Mohammad

Thanks

As I have no gain at any aspect by writing papers, books etc. except self satisfaction, my answer is "self satisfaction".

Thanks.

To share their research at an authenticated platform.....

It’s contains our findings, without publishing it’s worthless & no one knows our ideology, research ..

I mainly write research papers for three basic reasons: 1) share my research finding, 2) academic promotion, and 3) increase visibility among institute colleagues.
