Type (C): Submission of Work-in-Progress(WIP) Project

  • A work in progress research paper, often abbreviated as "WIP paper," is a document that represents an ongoing or unfinished research project.
  • Even though WIP papers are not considered final or fully validated research outputs, it's important to note that the WIP papers can be valuable for sharing and receiving feedback on ongoing research.
  • It is a common practice in academia and research to share preliminary findings, ideas, and ongoing work with peers and the academic community before the research is completed and finalized into a formal research paper or journal article.
  • Key characteristics of a work in progress research paper may include ongoing research. The research presented in a WIP paper is still in the process of being conducted, and the paper may provide insights into the research methodology, initial observations, or research questions being explored.
