G.2. Written Preparation Title.

The title describes the subject matter of the article and should be appropriate for the intended reader. It should be sufficiently specific to convey the contents of the paper, but not so technical that only specialists will understand. On the title page, only the title of the paper should appear. The title should consist of the minimum number of key words necessary to portray accurately the contents of the paper. Abstract

The summary should be two hundred and fifty words or less. An abstract is a concise single paragraph summary of completed work or work in progress. In a minute or less a reader can learn the rationale behind the study, general approach to the problem, pertinent results, and important conclusions or new questions. Summarize the study, including the following elements in any abstract. Try to keep the first two items to no more than one sentence each.

• Purpose of the study - hypothesis, overall question, objective • Model organism or system and brief description of the experiment • Results, including specific data - if the results are quantitative in

nature, report quantitative data; results of any data or any qualitative information as a results of a series analysis should be reported

• Important conclusions or questions that follow from the article Style:

• Single paragraph, 12 pts Times New Romans, • As a summary of work done, concise and is written in past tense • An abstract should stand on its own, and not refer to any other part

of the paper such as a figure or table • Focus on summarizing results - limit background information to a

sentence or two, if absolutely necessary • What you report in an abstract must be consistent with what you

reported in the paper • Correct spelling, clarity of sentences and phrases, and proper

reporting of quantities (proper units, significant figures) are just as important in an abstract as they are anywhere else

Key words

Three or four words, performing the key points of the article

17

Introduction The main text of a scientific paper should begin with an introduction

that explains the motivation or objective for conducting the research. The introduction should be organized to move from general information to more specific information. It should summarize the relevant literature so that the reader will understand why the topic is of interest or importance, and therefore, worthy of investigation. The results and conclusions of previously published studies should be succinctly summarized as background and support, but should not be itemized. Introductions should not exceed two pages (double spaced, typed). See the examples in the writing portfolio package.

The purpose of an introduction is to acquaint the reader with the rationale behind the work, with the intention of defending it. It places your work in a theoretical context, and enables the reader to understand and appreciate objectives of the article. When abstract is the only text in a research paper to be written without using paragraphs in order to separate major points, Introduction approaches vary widely reasoning as follows:

• Describe the importance (significance) of the study - why was this worth doing in the first place? Provide a broad context.

• Defend the model - why did you use this particular organism or system? What are its advantages? You might comment on its suitability from a theoretical point of view as well as indicate practical reasons for using it.

• Provide a rationale. State your specific hypothesis(es) or objective(s), and describe the reasoning that led you to select them.

• Very briefy describe the experimental design and how it accomplished the stated objectives.

Style: • Times New Romans 12 pts, 1,5 paragraph • Use past tense except when referring to established facts. • Organize you’re the ideas, making one major point with each

paragraph. If you make the four points of idea, then you will need a minimum of four paragraphs.

• Present background information only as needed in order support a position. The reader does not want to read everything you know about a subject.

• State the hypothesis/objective precisely - do not oversimplify. • As always, pay attention to spelling, clarity and appropriateness of

sentences and phrases.

Materials and Methods Methodological details applied to accomplish the objectives should be

provided in this section. It should contain all necessary information to allow other scientists to repeat the study or experiment. It is reasonable to

18

assume that other scientists have the basic knowledge and skills required of the study or analysis, but they will need to know the specific details in order to repeat or critique the study. There is no specific page limit, but a key concept is to keep this section as concise as you possibly can. People will want to read this material selectively. The reader may only be interested in one formula or part of a procedure. Materials:

• Describe materials separately only if the study is so complicated that it saves space this way.

• Describe any empirical or real facts conditions that inspiring you to write up the articles

• Describe any literature, journal, textbook, reports or other scientific documents that were used to develop ideas or analysis in constructing the articles.

• Explore any data, facts or other phenomenon that you think the conditions would be solved using a scientific approach, as you write in the article.

Methods:

• Describe all technique you employ in order to explore the conditions, the consequence of the conditions, both in the short or long run

• Describe the technique you select to analyse the conditions or to develop your arguments and in concluding all facts of your analysis

• Explain the any reason you select the technique of analysis, if you think it would relevant with the results of the analysis.

Style: • Times New Romans 12 pts, 1,5 paragraph • Use past tense except when referring to established facts. • It is awkward or impossible to use active voice when documenting

methods without using first person, which would focus the reader's attention on the investigator rather than the work. Therefore when writing up the methods most authors use third person passive voice.

• Use normal prose in this and in every other section of the paper – avoid informal lists, and use complete sentences.

• Materials and methods are not a set of instructions. • Omit all explanatory information and background - save it for the

discussion. • Omit information that is irrelevant to a third party, such as what color

ice bucket you used, or which individual logged in the data.

Results This section presents the results obtained using summary tables and

figures, but not the raw data collected. It is better to show the data in a

19

table unless there is visual information that can be gained by using a figure or other information, that you are going to explore in the idea of your articles. Each table, figure, or other informations should stand alone and be accompanied by a text legend (or caption) that explains the information that is being shown. Please put the author of any information or data that you cite or you explore, as the results of your studies.

It should be clear but concise without a need for the reader to examine the text for the basic information conveyed. The principal findings should be described in the text, referring to the tables and figures, where readers can see the details for themselves. Do not attempt to discuss or evaluate the results; this belongs in the Discussion section.

• The page length of this section is set by the amount and types of data to be reported. Continue to be concise, using figures and tables, if appropriate, to present results most effectively. See recommendations for content. The purpose of a results section is to present and illustrate your findings. Make this section a completely objective report of the results, and

Style • As always, use past tense when you refer to your results, and put

everything in a logical order. • In text, refer to each figure as "figure 1," "figure 2," etc. ; number

your tables as well as the table of qualitative information. Please always note the author that you cite.

• Place figures and tables, properly numbered, in order at the end of the report. If you prefer, you may place your figures and tables appropriately within the text of your results section.

• Make sure that all table or figures, whether it is quantitative or qualitative are not you single research findings, but a series of research.

Discussion

The function of the Discussion is to interpret the results in light of what is already known about the subject of the investigation from other published results. Results should be discussed in the same sequence as presented. It should explain what the results mean, and relate them back to the objectives presented in the Introduction. It should assess how the results fit into the big picture by integrating all the evidence, including previous work and the current research, for any new understanding of the problem. Both positive and negative results should be explained and may represent something important—adding to the accumulated knowledge of the field or perhaps suggesting a new or changed focus or methodology for the research.

20

The objective of discussion is to provide an interpretation of your results and support for all of your conclusions, using evidence from your experiment and generally accepted knowledge, if appropriate. The significance of findings should be clearly described.

Interpret your findings or review in the discussion in appropriate depth. This means that when you explain a phenomenon you must describe mechanisms that may account for the observation. If your results differ from your expectations, explain why that may have happened. If your results agree, then describe the theory that the evidence supported. It is never appropriate to simply state that the data agreed with expectations, and let it drop at that.

• Decide if each hypothesis is supported, rejected, or if you cannot make a decision with confidence. Do not simply dismiss a study or part of a study as "inconclusive."

• Research papers are not accepted if the work is incomplete. Draw what conclusions you can based upon the results that you have, and treat the study as a finished work

• You may suggest future directions, such as how the experiment might be modified to accomplish another objective.

• Explain all of your observations as much as possible, focusing on mechanisms.

• Decide if the experimental design adequately addressed the hypothesis, and whether or not it was properly controlled.

• Try to offer alternative explanations if reasonable alternatives exist. • One experiment will not answer an overall question, so keeping the

big picture in mind, where do you go next? The best studies open up new avenues of research. What questions remain?

• Recommendations for specific papers will provide additional suggestions.

Style: • When you refer to information, distinguish data generated by your

own studies from published information or from information obtained from other students (verb tense is an important tool for accomplishing that purpose).

• Refer to work done by specific individuals (including yourself) in past tense.

• Refer to generally accepted facts and principles in present tense. Conclusion.

This section should simply be a few sentences that summarize the most significant results and conclusions the data support; refrain from making statements that are too broad and do not offer any reasons for the conclusions. Also, it should not just repeat what is written in the Results and

21

Discussion sections. In fact, it can be combined with the Discussion section, by ending it with a conclusion. Literature Cited

Please note that in the introductory laboratory course, you will not be required to properly document sources of all of your information. One reason is that your major source of information is this website, and websites are inappropriate as primary sources. Second, it is problematic to provide a hundred students with equal access to potential reference materials. You may nevertheless find outside sources, and you should cite any articles that the instructor provides or that you find for yourself.

List all literature cited in your paper, in alphabetical order, by first author. In a proper research paper, only primary literature is used (original research articles authored by the original investigators). Be cautious about using web sites as references - anyone can put just about anything on a web site, and you have no sure way of knowing if it is truth or fiction. If you are citing an on line journal, use the journal citation (name, volume, year, page numbers). Some of your papers may not require references, and if that is the case simply state that "no references were consulted." G.2.b. Judging Criteria 1. Paper evaluation consists of two parts: Written (30%) and Oral
