No one can tell you how to write a research paper and how to select the topic. Kindly read as many research articles in LIS related journals. There are hundreds of free online journals at                                         www.doaj.org

You should have a flair for research and writing, it can be perceived but will take time.

Dear Sri Vaithiyanathan H,

I have gone through your post and I fully agree to Sri H.S. Sandhu's reply. Please don't mind my saying so but writing a quality article especially a research article requires in-depth knowledge and clarity of vision. There is no short cut in this. One can pursue academic studies from substandard institutes and can bag even highest degree without gaining the basic knowledge of Librarianship and even can manage to get jobs offering good salary because of the existing system but writing an article by oneself (there is a rumor that a section of people are hiring experts to write articles on their behalf upon payment nowadays!) requires clarity of thought and knowledge and analytic mind. If you possess those abilities, you will find that you can identify topics and are able to produce good articles. Some people are bestowed with this ability and some has to acquire the skill. for this, you have to read and think and analyze issues from different points of views and above all, practice writing. You will certainly master it.
