Skills for writing psychological research papers in Japanese language

Abstract

In recent years, the importance of demonstrating one's own achievements has increased signi.cant-ly. Most noticeably, the number of research articles that survives rigorous peer reviews is frequently being used as an index to measure eligibility for an academic position or research grant. Therefore, almost all of researchers often find themselves being pressured to write academic papers. On the other hand, writing academic papers can be quite di.cult for those who have never written them. This article provides a brief tutorial for writing academic papers in Japanese language. However, there already are some good manuals which explain writing paper such as Tsuzuki (2006) or Rosnow & Rosnow (2006). Therefore I wish to demonstrate how to write academic papers in Japanese language based on my own experiences. This article consists of two parts. The first one describes how to write academic papers for each section of an article, namely “purpose” “method” “result” and “discussion”. The second part presents comprehensive strategies in writing academic papers.
