II Background Information
III Designing and Procedures of Important Experiments
IV Results of Experiments
V Discussion
First, you should give enough background information to demonstrate that you have some knowledge of the subject. Your next steps are to discuss the designs and procedures of your experiment and to list these results. In listing the results, if possible, use graphs and tables for clear presentation of facts and explain whatever is necessary from the graphs and tables. The discussion is not the place to introduce new ideas, this is just a discussion of the facts presented in the body.
VI Conclusions, Summary, Implications and Recommendations
The final part of the report is used to summarize the information, to state your interpretation of the patterns reported in the body of the report and to make any recommendations you think necessary. Whereas the body of the report is used to state the facts, the conclusion is used to state your interpretation of the facts. An interpretation should always flow logically from the information presented in the introduction and the body.
Abstract or Summary
An abstract or a summary highlights the most important ideas in the proposal, manual or dissertation. Abstracts or summaries are very helpful to people outside your scientific field so they need to be worded carefully in general, not scientific terms.
After reading the text decide whether you think these statements are true or false:
Students’ and postgraduates’ research papers usually have polar tasks.
Research papers can be written according to a random formula.
Students should start to present information in the research work without wasting time on thinking over the structure of the paper.
The writing task for the reader should be defined in the introduction of the research work.
Terms are not to be defined in the paper as readers are good experts in the problem discussed.
Graphs and tables are strongly recommended when listing the results of the experiment.
Conclusions differ from the body of the report in the way of presenting the facts.
