We are going to walk you through writing a scientific manuscript. In this paper, we introduce essential parts of a manuscript, and in the next papers, we will guide you on how to write each part. Let me start with the following:
Several key parts are typically included in a standard article
Title
The article’s title should be concise and clearly convey the article’s main topic.
Abstract
An abstract summarizes the article that provides an overview of the research and main findings. It should be concise and summarize the purpose, methods, results, and conclusions of the article.
Introduction
The introduction should provide background information on the topic and explain the article’s purpose. It should also clearly state the research question or hypothesis being tested.
Methods
The methods section should describe the research design and procedures used in the study. It should include details on the participants, materials, equipment used, and any statistical analyses performed
Results
The results section should present the study’s findings in a clear and organized manner. This may include tables, figures, or other visual aids to help illustrate the data
Discussion
The discussion section should interpret the study’s results and place them in the context of previous research. It should also address any limitations of the study and suggest areas for future research
Conclusion
The conclusion should summarize the study’s main findings and their implications for practice or policy.
References
The references section should list all the sources cited in the article, following the appropriate citation style.
By following these guidelines, you can write a standard article that is clear, well-organized, and easy to understand.
