Writing Rules

Structure and Formatting

Article Structure:

Introduction
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Also the research question(s) should be addressed in the introduction section.

Theory/Background
A Theory section should extend, not repeat, the background to the article already dealt with in the Introduction, and lay the foundation for further work.

Material and methods
Provide sufficient details to allow the work to be reproduced by an independent researcher. Methods that are already published should be summarized and indicated by a reference. If quoting directly from a previously published method, use quotation marks, and also cite the source. Any modifications to existing methods should also be described.

Results
The results should be clear and concise.

Discussion
This 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.

Conclusions
The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusions section, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section.
