Abstract
• Do not confuse abstract with introduction• Abstract is summary of whole manuscript• Introduction develops problem and states
purpose
• Do not state, “the significance of the information is discussed in the article.”

Introduction• Intro serves two purposes:
• Stimulates reader’s interest• Outline reason for the study
• Begin with a statement or two to develop problem, tell why study needs to be done, and state the purpose of the study
• Not a place for great detail• Highlight most prominent works of others• Put detailed review of literature in discussion

Methods “Begin with paragraph describing experimental
design, then describe subjects, instruments, procedures, and statistical analysis
Methods should contain enough detail so others can reproduce the experiment
enough information must be given so that the experiments could be reproduced
ask a colleague if he/she can follow the methodology

where possible give illustrative examples and compare those with known results from literature
use tables and figures Emphasize the meaning of the results, not the
statistical test used…

Statistics
• Statistics don’t indicate or prove anything; they simply provide you with support for making a decision
• Statistical tests don’t find differences; they provide evidence that a difference between groups is probably real

Discussion• Put your results in perspective with your
expectations and compare your results with the rest of the world. Don’t repeat or rehash results; discuss them
• The emphasis should not be on other authors but rather on what they reported and how it relates to your work

Discussion You discuss, you do not recapitulate the
Results show the relationship among observed facts state your conclusion as clearly as possible summarize your evidence for each conclusion end with a short summary/conclusion regarding
the significance of your work

and figures

Tables
• Tables should look like this:
Table 1. Title of the table (units of measurement)*
Header 2 Header 3
Header 1 Sub2a Sub2b Sub2c Sub3a Sub3b Sub3c
Row identifier Info Info Info Info Info Info
Row identifier Info Info Info Info Info Info

Tables
• Identify units of measurement in the most general way possible. Include in column header or row identifier if possible.
• When a table contains data that have been averaged, report the mean ± SD (or SE)

Summary
• Separate summary not needed; abstract does this. List of conclusions at end of discussion is appropriate.
• TIP: write a summary, compare to abstract, add left out info, then throw away summary.

Find Examples and Illustrations Scientific writing
theoretical, abstract, difficult to understand Use MANY examples and illustrations If you don’t have enough space, don’t sacrifice the
examples Two possibilities:
Examples first, followed by generalizations General principle first, followed by an example The more difficult or complex the concept is, the
more it is recommended to use the first option
