Although it is a known phenomenon that scholars constitute the top brass of present day societies, many people shy away from venturing into the industry for the simple reason that they could not deliver research papers that meet the requirements of their professors. Senior members of the royal families were no exception in this fear of venturing into the educational industry, a field preserved for the selected and talented few. There are various publications in the ancient Greece that explain how different kings failed to become scholars because of the raised standards which they could not manage to reach at the time.
A well pronounced prohibition before one became a recognized distinguished scholar like the professors stipulate is an undisputable ability to produce an academic writing without assistance of the second or third party after which the paper will be examined to determine whether it met the required threshold prior to admitting the students into the organized body of respected scholars. The ensuing process of vetting and examination was rigorous and impartial thus locking multitudes of the less competent candidates no matter their social and economic status.
Even though many would see these classical standards of becoming a scholar to be restrictive in nature, nothing much has changed hitherto. These standards are still in place within the departments and faculties of present day universities and colleges: students at the higher level of education must do a thorough research followed by a complete proposal and finally a project report before they are conferred with a degree.
Consequently, students pursuing their master and doctorate degrees must perfect their skills on how to write a research paper beforehand.
