For further reading about how to write an effective abstract please read the full topic Writing an Effective Abstract, provided by the African Studies Review (ASR).
- Introduction:
To know how to write a perfect introduction for an academic paper, kindly read the full topic When to write the introduction, provided by the Comm Lab. An introduction is typically the first section of the paper. The goal of your introduction is to let your reader know what he/she can expect from the paper. It should clearly state the paper’s purpose. It should include key references to appropriate work but should not be an historical or literature review. The perfect introduction starts with a hook that attracts the reader's attention. Then it shows the focus of the paper. What is the paper about? Why is this topic important? The introduction should ends with the thesis statement. The kind of thesis depends on the type of paper’s issue.
- Methods (for research-based articles):
The contents of the paper include an Introduction, Method (for research-based articles), Content, Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgement and References. The content of non-research-based articles may include some sub-chapters with a free title depending on the study.
The methods section describes the rationale for the application of specific procedures or techniques used to identify, select, and analyze information applied to understanding the research problem, thereby, allowing the reader to critically evaluate a study’s overall validity and reliability.
- Content /Result and Discussion:
A freely structured discussion needs to make a clear argument, and it can be very useful to use a sub-chapter to structure this argument. You should draw on your own results not just on other literature. A discussion is NOT a literature review, but your work must be at the center of the argument.
Content is the body of the paper, consisting of a title that represents a discussion of the paper. Results should be clear and concise. The results should summarize (scientific) findings rather than provide data in great detail. The discussion should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.
In discussion, it is the most important section of your article. Here you get the chance to sell your data. Make the discussion corresponding to the results, but do not reiterate the results. Often should begin with a brief summary of the main scientific findings (not experimental results). The following components should be covered in the discussion: How do your results relate to the original question or objectives outlined in the Introduction section (what)? Do you provide an interpretation scientifically for each of your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results consistent with what other investigators have reported (what else)?
- Conclusion:
Conclusions should answer the objectives of the research. Tells how your work advances the field from the present state of knowledge. Without clear Conclusions, reviewers and readers will find it difficult to judge the work, and whether or not it merits publication in the journal. Do not repeat the Abstract, or just list experimental results. Provide a clear scientific justification for your work, and indicate possible applications and extensions. You should also suggest future experiments and/or point out those that are underway. For further reading about how to write a good conclusion please read carefully the topic Writing a Conclusion, provided by Walden University.
