So the topic is How does Artificial Intelligence (AI) contribute to improving the accuracy and efficiency
of threat detection and response systems within Homeland Security. And here are the guidelines: research paper should have an introduction, a literature reviewsection, a theory & hypotheses section, a methods (aka research design) section, results and a conclusion. You will develop a theory and derive at least one testable hypothesis (or more if you’d like) from your theory.These two new sections should focus on developing a theory and deriving testable (falsifiable) hypotheses from your theory. You should add the following two sections (with section headings) for your theory and hypotheses:
Theory: You should elaborate on at least one theory that could answer your research question, fleshing out the causal processes behind each theoretical argument. In doing so, you should engage with at least 1 piece of literature to justify your logic and/or back up your statement(s). The more detailed your discussion of your theory, the better. Feel free to resort to case examples to illustrate your causal mechanisms. However, be mindful that your theory section cannot and should not essentially consist of a case story. If you are struggling, consider drawing on additional literature and/or providing more detail about the underlying causal processes of your theory. Or you could add another theory. But when you do so, you would also need to add at least an additional hypothesis about the added theory.
Hypotheses: In this section, you will build one or more hypotheses – at least one for each theory. Your hypotheses need to be testable (in other words falsifiable). You don’t need to point out your variables and data just yet. You will include those in your research design section. You will add a research design section. Your research design section should describe your data, present your variables, and articulate how you would test your hypotheses. your research design should include the following:
Research design {A discussion of how your data looks like. You need to mention the following: temporal coverage, spatial (geographic) coverage, unit of analysis, and number of observations (if you have actual data)}
Dependent Variable {conceptual & operational definition, discussion of measurement including the measurement level (nominal, ordinal, interval/ratio). If you have actual data; provide simple descriptive statistics such as range, mean, histogram (freq. distribution)}
Independent Variable {provide similar details as in DV, no need for descriptive statistics}
Control Variable(s) (if any) {provide similar details as in DV, no need for descriptive statistics. Make sure to include a justification as to why each control variable may be a confounder} You are encouraged to include at least one control variable.
Methodological Justification {A discussion that justifies your analysis method choice –e.g., large-N statistical hypothesis testing (regression analysis), small-N case study, comparative case study (e.g., MSS, MDS), limitations of your methods choice}
Results {Results from your empirical analysis} –OPTIONAL: Your results section must include four things. (1) Descriptive statistics for all your variables. (2) A regression analysis that includes control variables and supplies a table or a figure to display the results. You may instead present a qualitative analysis. (3) An interpretation of the regression results, including discussing the size of the effect of your independent variable on your dependent variable and whether it is statistically significant. (4) Finally, you must also discuss some other statistics besides the regression coefficients and their p-values. This might include discussing the R-squared.
Conclusion
This section should include your preliminary conclusions, potential scholarly contributions, and the societal/policy value of your study. A paragraph would suffice for this section.
Introduction
Literature Review
Theory & Hypotheses {It is OK to have separate theory and hypothesis sections and sub-sections for your theories if you have more than one}
Research Design (Methods) {You are encouraged to include sub-sections for your DV, IV, CVs, and methods justification}
Results (Optional)
Conclusion
