Structure
Generally, authors can organize their research article’s structure based on the specifics of their research design and findings. While there are standard guidelines for article structure (such as Title, Address, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, and References), these can be adapted to fit the needs of different research designs, disciplines, and the specific insights gained from the study. Adherence to general standards helps ensure clarity and consistency in scientific communication, but the arrangement within those sections can vary to best present the research in context.
