Introduction
The introductory section must include a brief description of the problem of interest and the
specific aims of your study. Provide the reader enough background to support the importance of
your research. What critical question does your research address? Why should the reader be
interested?
Methods
In spite of being succinct, the method section must provide sufficient information to understand
how you addressed the problem. Provide a clear and precise description of how your experiment
was done, and the rationale for why specific procedures were selected. Describe the materials,
preparation, and the research protocol used in your study, and explain how
measurements/simulations were made and analyzed. The information in this section should be
organized from most to least important.
Results
The results section should summarize the most significant findings of the study. Simulations and
statistical outcomes must be summarized. Up to two figures are allowed in the abstract.
Simplicity is the key with figures. A good figure can get its message across to the reader without
the need for significant explanatory text.
Conclusions
The conclusions section must state the extent to which the specific aims of the study have been
met. Elaborate on the significance of your findings, the need for further research, and possible
clinical implications. Your conclusion gives the reader something to take away that will help
them see things differently or better appreciate your topic.
