The Anatomy of a Scientific Article.
It is important to use scholarly articles for scientific research because they:
| Abstract: summarizes the research study |
| Introduction: establishes the context for the research, identifies the main research question and states a hypothesis |
| Materials & Methods: describes the research procedure, including the types of controls used and what resources were used |
| Results: reports the outcome of the research procedure. The figures (tables, graphs, etc.) contain the majority of the data/findings from the study |
| Discussion: conclusions or interpretations about the results. May compare the findings with other research studies and/or identify areas for future exploration and research |
| References: lists the sources cited in the article |
