Question

What are your methods for brainstorming before writing a paper?

Answer 1

what I do is write important details or information you think is necessary in bullet points and eventually you use most of that information to turn that into a paper. That is the method I do

Answer 2

Actually, before writing a paper, i always asked :
"what is the problem"

After you figure out a problem that you wanted to explore, then you could work your paper out based on the cause of the problem, why it happen, and the possible solutions of the problem

hope this helps
