Third paragraph: Objective(s) of the work. Gaps that the project is intended to fill.

Fourth paragraph: State hypotheses, if it is a hypothesis-driven study.

Methods: An overview of the experimental design. What did you do? Use references for standard methods, rather than describe in detail. Cite the references by numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.) in superscript. Give statistical methods and ethical approval.

Results: What did you find in your study? Use tables and figures (no text) to clarify and depict study results. These should be clear, concise, and self-explanatory. Include legends for both Tables and Figures/Graphs.

Discussion: This is not necessary if the conclusions are clear. It tells what the results mean.

Conclusion: This should be consistent with the study results. It should be related to objectives, research questions, and hypotheses. State possible future work and use brief bullet statements.
