INTRODUCTION
Reader needs to know the background to your research and, most
importantly, why your research is important in this context. What critical question
does your research address? Why should the reader be interested?
The purpose of the Introduction is to stimulate the reader’s interest and to
provide pertinent background information necessary to understand the rest of the
paper. You must summarize the problem to be addressed, give background on the
subject, discuss previous research on the topic, and explain exactly what the paper
will address, why, and how. A good thing to avoid is making your introduction into a
minireview. There is a huge amount of literature out there, but as a scientist you
should be able to pick out the things that are most relevant to your work and explain
why. This shows an editor/reviewer/reader that you really understand your area of
research and that you can get straight to the most important issues.
Keep your Introduction to be very concise, well structured, and inclusive of all
the information needed to follow the development of your findings. Do not over-

burden the reader by making the introduction too long. Get to the key parts other
paper sooner rather than later.
Tips:

1. Begin the Introduction by providing a concise background account of the

problem studied.
2. State the objective of the investigation. Your research objective is the most
important part of the introduction.
3. Establish the significance of your work: Why was there a need to conduct
the study?
4. Introduce the reader to the pertinent literature. Do not give a full history of
the topic. Only quote previous work having direct bearing on the present
problem.
5. Clearly state your hypothesis, the variables investigated, and concisely
summarize the methods used.
6. Define any abbreviations or specialized/regional terms.
7. Provide a concise discussion of the results and findings of other studies so
the reader understands the big picture.
8. Describe some of the major findings presented in your manuscript and
explain how they contribute to the larger field of research.
9. State the principal conclusions derived from your results.
10. Identify any questions left unanswered and any new questions generated by
your study.

Be concise and aware of who will be reading your manuscript and make sure
the Introduction is directed to that audience. Move from general to specific; from
the problem in the real world to the literature to yourresearch.Last, please avoid to
make a sub section in Introduction.

METHODS
In the Method section, you explain clearly how you conducted your research
order to: (1) enable readers to evaluate the work performed and (2) permit others to
replicate your research.You must describe exactly what you did: what and how
experiments were run, what,how much, how often, where, when, and why
equipment and materials were used. Themain consideration is to ensure that
enough detail is provided to verify your findings andto enable the replication of the
research.You should maintain a balance between brevity (you cannot describe every
technicalissue) and completeness (you need to give adequate detail so that readers
know whathappened).

Tips:
1. Define the population and the methods of sampling;
2. Describe the instrumentation;
3. Describe the procedures and if relevant, the time frame;
4. Describe the analysis plan;
5. Describe any approaches to ensure validity and reliability;
6. State any assumptions;
7. Describe statistical tests and the comparisons made; ordinary statistical
methods should be used without comment; advanced or unusual methods
may require a literature citation, and;
8. Describe the scope and/or limitations of the methodology you used.

 In the social and behavioral sciences, it is important to always provide
sufficient information to allow other researchers to adopt or replicate your
methodology. This information is particularly important when a new method has
been developed or an innovative use of an exisiting method is utilized.Last, please
avoid to make a sub section in Method.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

The purpose of the Results and Discussion is to state your findings and make a
interpretations and/or opinions, explain the implications of your findings, and make
suggestions for future research. Its main function is to answer the questions posed
in the Introduction, explain how the results support the answers and, how the
answers fit in with existing knowledge on the topic. The Discussion is considered
the heart of the paper and usually requires several writing attempts.
The discussion will always connect to the introduction by way of the research
questions or hypotheses you posed and the literature you reviewed, but it does not
simply repeat or rearrange the introduction; the discussion should always explain
how your study has moved the reader's understanding of the research problem
forward from where you left them at the end of the introduction.
To make your message clear, the discussion should be kept as short as possible
while clearly and fully stating, supporting, explaining, and defending your answers
and discussing other important and directly relevant issues. Care must be taken to
provide commentary and not a reiteration of the results. Side issues should not be
included, as these tend to obscure the message.
Tips:
1. State the Major Findings of the Study;
2. Explain the Meaning of the Findings and Why the Findings Are Important;
3. Support the answers with the results. Explain how your results relate to
expectations and to the literature, clearly stating why they are acceptable
and how they are consistent or fit in with previously published knowledge
on the topic;
4. Relate the Findings to Those of Similar Studies;
5. Consider Alternative Explanations of the Findings;
6. State the Clinical Relevance of the Findings;
7. Acknowledge the Study’s Limitations, and;
8. Make Suggestions for Further Research.

It is easy to inflate the interpretation of the results. Be careful that your

interpretation of the results does not go beyond what is supported by the data. The
data are the data: nothing more, nothing less. Please avoid and make over
interpretation of the results, unwarranted speculation, inflating the importance of
the findings, tangential issues or over-emphasize the impact of your research.

Figures and tables are the most effective way to present results. Captions
should be able to stand alone, such that the figures and tables are understandable
without the need to read the entire manuscript. Besides that, the data represented
should be easy to interpret.
Tips:
1. The graphic should be simple, but informative;
2. The use of color is encouraged;
3. The graphic should uphold the standards of a scholarly, professional
publication;
4. The graphic must be entirely original, unpublished artwork created by one of
the co-authors;
5. The graphic should not include a photograph, drawing, or caricature of any
person, living or deceased;

6. Do not include postage stamps or currency from any country, or

trademarked items (company logos, images, and products), and;
7. Avoid choosing a graphic that already appears within the text of the
manuscript.

CONCLUSIONS
The conclusion is intended to help the reader understand why your research
should matter to them after they have finished reading the paper. A conclusion is
not merely a summary of the main topics covered or a re-statement of your research
problem, but a synthesis of key points.It is important that the conclusion does not
leave the question unanswered.
Tips:
1. State your conclusions clearly and concisely. Be brief and stick to the point;
2. Explain why your study is important to the reader. You should instill in the
reader a sense of relevance;
3. Prove to the reader, and the scientific community, that your findings are
worthy of note. This means setting your paper in the context of previous
work. The implications of your findings should be discussed within a
realistic framework, and;
4. Strive for accuracy and originality in your conclusion. If your hypothesis is
similar to previous papers, you must establish why your study and your
results are original.

For most essays, one well-developed paragraph is sufficient for a conclusion,

although in some cases, a two or three paragraph conclusion may be required.The
another of important things about this section is (1) do not rewrite the abstract; (2)
statements with “investigated” or “studied” are not conclusions; (3) do not introduce
new arguments, evidence, new ideas, or information unrelated to the topic; (4)do
not include evidence (quotations, statistics, etc.) that should be in the body of the
paper.
