Find the Diamond in a research paper

Challenge: Decompose a research paper into the four parts of the diamond

Instructions

Find a research paper that concerns something of interest to you. It can be an excerpt from a book (even textbook), an article published in a journal or conference proceedings, or an open-access paper. Use search engines such as Google Scholar or browse a journal’s webpage.

Try to “decode” the text. What is the Question? What are the Concepts? What are the Analytics? What are the Results?

Suggested Results

For each part of the diamond, describe what the research paper is doing.

Advanced: Discuss the links between the parts, do they work together?
