-----IMRAD Approach----
In order to build a scientific article to achieve its purpose, the author should express the problem, approach to the problem and solutions in a clear and understandable language. If the article is not expressed clearly, readers will not be able to draw sufficient conclusions from the article and scientific writing will not reach its purpose. The open problem mentioned should make a new contribution to the literature. However, he should have conveyed the words that would explain his command of the literature in a way to convey his domination of similar articles and problems previously published on the subject.
Scientific writing; should be expressed in effective, clear and meaningful words. Therefore, the scientist must be cultured to be successful in this endeavor. We must all admit that “English has almost become the universal language of science” (E. Garfield, The Scientist, 7 September 1987, p.9). All scientists should learn to use English with precision. English does not need to be written in a complex and requiring native-level knowledge to be understood. In a scientific article it is said: “The best English is English that gives meaning with the least number of short words” (an authoritative expression printed in the Directives for Authors section of the Journal of Bacteriology).
We strongly advise to follow IMRaD approach to the authors as seen in Fig. 1.The IMRaD logic can be defined in the questionnaire: Which problem has been studied? Answer: Introduction. How was the problem studied? Answer: Methods. What was found? Answer: Results. What does these mean? Answer: Discussion. The IMRaD format, which has been advancing slowly since the late 19th century, found an almost universal use in research journals. Today, this area of usage helps the author in editing and writing the text; It seems that it provides an easy roadmap for editors, reviewers and ultimately readers who read and watch the article.
