Methods: describes research type, the participants, the materials and the procedures employed in the study such as treatment(s) and data analysis.

Results and Discussion: Results should be clear and concise. Discussion should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Extensive citations and discussion of published literature should be avoided.

Conclusion: The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short conclusions section, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a discussion or Results and discussion section.

References: References are listed in alphabetical order. Each listed reference is cited in text, and Non-research papers include major theme, logical development of the theme, author's point of view, implications, inferences, or conclusions.
