How to send List of objects and image from jQuery to ASP.NET MVC controller – Jquery ajax

I have some model classes:

public class Research
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Title { get; set; }
    public string Abstract { get; set; }
    public string Body { get; set; }
    public string Image { get; set; }
    [NotMapped]
    public HttpPostedFileWrapper ImageFile { get; set; }
    public virtual List<ResearchAuthors> ResearchAuthors { get; set; }
}

public class ResearchAuthors
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public int AuthorId { get; set; }
    public int ResearchId { get; set; }
    public Research Research { get; set; }
    public Author Author { get; set; }
}

This is the jQuery code how I’m getting the data to be sent to the controller

        var Research = {
            Id: idInput.val(),
            Title: titleInput.val(),
            Abstract: abstractInput.val(),
            ImageFile: imageInput.get(0).files[0],
            Body: bodyInput.val()
        };

        // Research Authors
        var ResearchAuthors = [];
        $('#authors-tbody tr').each(function () {
            var AuthorId = $(this).children('.id-td').text();
            var Id = $(this).children('.researchAuthorsId-td').text();
            var ResearchAuthor = {
                AuthorId: AuthorId,
                Id: Id,
                ResearchId: idInput.val()
            }
            ResearchAuthors.push(ResearchAuthor)
        });

The controller is waiting for this

public ActionResult Create(SaveResearchViewModel viewModel)
{
      return Json(new { success = true, message = "Created Successfully" });
}

The SaveResearchViewModel code:

public class SaveResearchViewModel
{
    public Research Research { get; set; }
    public List<ResearchAuthors> ResearchAuthors { get; set; }
}

I have used formdata but it won’t work because of List of ResearchAuthors even can’t stringify because of there is image with data to be send

So what is the proper way to use with all different data types [Object, Object.Image, Arr[Object]] in order to receive in the controller?
