The abstract contains the keywords readers are likely to use when searching journal databases.
- Introduction: The introduction should identify the problem to be studied; establish the study’s significance to the field of knowledge; state the research question/s and hypothesis/es; identify the research strategy. The introduction should give the reader an overview of the paper’s content and its order.
- Literature review: A review of the literature preceding the paper, focusing on key studies/papers that have contributed to the current understandings of the topic, should be provided. The literature review’s final part should pose the research question or a hypothesis as a logical conclusion to the literature reviewed.
- Method: The method section should detail how the research study was designed and address how the current research improves on previous attempts to study the topic and/or expands the topic’s knowledge base.
- Results: The results section should report the data collected and summarize the outcomes appropriately, without bias or justification for the results; it factually reports data whether it supports the research hypothesis statement or not.
- Discussion: The discussion should review and analyze the results; it should address the results in relation to the research question and hypothesis/es. Further, it should attempt to make sense of and extract meaning from the results in a scholarly way.
