Abstracts summarize the research study.
Introductions pose a key research question and summarize relevant literature.
Discussions interpret results and compare them to existing literature.
Methodologies explain research procedures and justify choices.
Results show data and short introductions; ideally the analysis is reserved for the discussion section.
Conclusions summarize and leave the reader with insights.
References list cited authors and sources.
Citations are included for facts, ideas, and quotations in the report.
