Structure of a scientific article: Introduction

Structure of a scientific article: Methods
• Like a recipe• For informed readers this is the most important
section• Describe how subjects were selected and excluded• Don’t describe standard methods in detail - use
references• Statistics• Ethics

Blood for analysis was taken from 48 informed and consenting subjects; their age
was 6 months to 22 years.

Structure of a scientific article: Results
Figures and Tables should:
•Add information
•Save space
•Be self-explanatory
•Not be overloaded with numbersor ink

Results: Understanding numbers
Evidence-based guidelines:• Numbers should be kept to significant digits (except
where absolutely necessary).• Fractions should be given with percents; raw numbers for
small samples.• People don’t appreciate the magnitude of large numbers
(greater than a million).• Roman numerals should be avoided, except for cranial
nerves, clotting factors, and world wars.

Manipulation of images
- No specific feature within an image may be enhanced, obscured, moved, removed, or introduced.
- Adjustments of brightness, contrast, or color balance are acceptable if they are applied to the whole image and as long as they do not obscure or eliminate any information present in the original. Nonlinear adjustments must be disclosed in the figure legend.
