    Study Notes

    Characteristics and Essentials of Scientific Papers

    • Scientific papers must assess observations, repeat experiments, evaluate intellectual processes, have impact, and be available to the scientific community and screened by secondary services.
    • Poor experimentation cannot be masked by brilliant writing, but poor writing can mask brilliant experimentation.
    • The essential parts of a scientific paper include the title, abstract, introduction, materials, methods, results, discussion, conclusions, acknowledgement, and references.
    • The indexing and abstracting of a paper depend on the accuracy of the title, which should be carefully considered and not contain abbreviations, chemical formulas, or terminologies.
    • The abstract should summarize the major elements of the paper and follow the IMRAD structure, not exceeding 250 words and written in the past tense without citing any references.
    • The introduction should review relevant literature, state the method of investigation, present the principal results and conclusions, use the active voice, and define specialized terms or abbreviations.
    • The method should be written in the past tense, and materials should avoid using trade names of chemicals.
    • The results section is the core of the paper, written in the past tense, and should be clearly and simply stated, with appropriate use of tables and figures.
    • The discussion section should end with a short summary or conclusion regarding the significance of the work.
    • Academic articles are written by experts, reviewed by other experts, and shared to support opinions and share information.
    • Research posters summarize information or research concisely and attractively to generate discussion, with various layout types.
    • Ethics in scientific and medical research involve ethical committees, determining the framework, and preventing unethical research practices, with penalties for violations and practices to achieve scientific integrity and justice.
