Words that describe the main topic or themes of a scientific article, helping to categorize and retrieve information.

Keywords help readers find and identify the core concept of a research article using search engines. They act as labels or tags that describe the main topic of the study.

The Introduction section of a research paper should be concise and compelling. It should immediately grab the reader's attention and clearly explain the reasons for undertaking the study.

In academic research, the Results section presents the findings and the Discussion section provides interpretation and analysis of those findings. They are frequently combined into a single section to enhance clarity.

The Methods and Reference sections serve different purposes and are not typically combined in research articles. Methods explain how the research was conducted, while References list the sources used.

The Materials and Discussions sections have distinct purposes. Materials outline the resources used, while Discussions interpret the results. Combining them would be confusing and inappropriate.
