IMRD and its variations

I.M.R&D + conclusion

• R1, D1 –> R2, D2 –> R3, D3
• R1, R2, R3 –> D1, D2, D3
• R1, R2, R3 –> D (1,2,3)
• What’s in conclusion?
  • Summary of findings
  • Applications
  • Implications
  • Limitations
  • Suggestions for future works

Methodology no more?

• Chemistry, material science.
• No methodology?
  • How the data were collected?
• Appendix
  • Experimental procedures
  • Experimental set-ups

[Reflection]

• Why are the contents of RAs arranged differently?
• What’s the purpose?
• Who’s reading it?
• The structure and organization of RA differ across disciplines.
• How do the RAs in your field look like? Do you know why?
