Varieties of Scientific Articles Structure AIM(RaD)C AIMReDCaR AIMRaD AIRDaM Abstract Introduction Method Result 1 Discussion 1 Result 2 Discussion 2 Conclusions Abstract Introduction Method Results Discussion Conclusion References Abstract Introduction Method Results Discussions Abstract Introduction Results Discussions Methods
AIMRAD Format (a) Results governs the whole structure; all things in the article must relate to the data and analysis presented in the Results section. (b)(1) The Introduction begins with a broad focus but attracts the lively interest of the readers of the target journal. (3) The Introduction ends with a focus exactly parallel to that of the Results; it is a statement of the aim of the work presented in the paper, or its principal findings or activity. (2) Between these two points, background information and previous relevant works are woven together (c) The Methods section establishes credibility for the Results by showing how they were obtained. (d) The Discussion begins with the same breadth of focus as the Results. By the end, the paper show conclusions and suggestions
AIRDaM Format (a) The Methods section, often renamed Procedure or Experimental, is presented after the Discussion, sometimes in a smaller type face than the rest of the paper. (b) This change means that more details may need to be given in the Results section to explain how the results were obtained
AIM(RaD)aC Format (a) The Results and Discussion are presented together in a single combined section; each result is presented, followed immediately by the relevant discussion. (b) This change means that a separate section is needed at the end to bring the different pieces of discussion together; it is often headed Conclusions.
