Abstract
Writing scientific research in the social and human sciences is a fundamental task that contributes to the development of human knowledge, a deeper understanding of societies and cultures, and the progress of peoples. However, researchers in these fields face several challenges that can hinder the achievement of their research goals. These challenges range from difficulties in precisely defining research hypotheses to identifying appropriate methodologies, from data analysis to the objective interpretation of results. Social and human sciences require researchers to integrate theoretical knowledge with critical analysis, which complicates the research process.
Therefore, this article aims to highlight the most prominent challenges and pitfalls that researchers have encountered in different studies. We will also highlight effective strategies to overcome these challenges, thereby improving the quality of scientific research and contributing to the advancement of knowledge in these important areas.
