Papers Format
In formulating the outline it is important to know that most engineering or
science journal papers have a well-accepted general format. Each of the
following sections are included, usually also in this order, though specific
papers may disguise them under different section titles that relate closer
to the actual contents of each section. These sections are

Introduction
First paragraph:
start with a broad statement and become more detailed until finally
identifying the specific problem that the paper addresses.
The purpose of the first paragraph is to interest the reader in the
paper, to clearly identify for the reader what the paper will address,
and to quickly bring the reader to the edge of knowledge in the field
the paper addresses.
The paragraph should end with the general problem addressed by
the paper. The next sentences of the introduction narrow the topic.

Introduction
Middle paragraphs:
Functioning as the literature review part.
The beginning of the literature review should cite the most
important historical contributions that build the foundation to
the topic the paper will extend.
The goal is not to cite everything, as in a review paper, but to
cite the seminal contributions that directly lead to the problem
the paper addresses.
The remaining paragraphs should focus on the state-of-the-art
knowledge base and the significant differences between what
has already been published and the new contribution that your
paper is presenting.

Introduction
Final paragraph
In the introduction we need to emphasis on our contribution
and our new approach or idea, by concluding the gap that
our study would bridge it.
The introduction may ends with the road-map paragraph.
This paragraph outlines the remaining sections of the paper.

The Results
Main purpose of the results is to provide the data from your
study so that other researchers can draw their own
conclusions and understand fully the basis for your
conclusions.
Where applicable, results should be illustrated in terms of
non-dimensional variables.
The results section and discussion section allow the most
flexibility in terms of organization and content.
A common format for the results section is to present a series
of figures and to describe them in detail through the text.

The Results
Often the results are combined with the discussion section in
the research works, hence there should be a clear distinction
between a result and discussion.

The Discussion
To interpret the results to reach the main
conclusions of the paper
This section allows you to highlight the
conclusions you think are important.
Most of the experts reading your paper will
draw their own conclusions anyhow.
Often writers will combine the discussion and
results sections to avoid repetition and so
that they can give their conclusions parallel
with the results.

The Conclusions
The summary and conclusions section tells the reader what
has already been read and draws the important conclusions;
hence, keep it short and make it as specific as possible.
If the reader wants to know specifically what aspects of a
problem your paper will address, he will often read the
introduction and then the summary and conclusions section.
It is important that all of the significant findings are
summarized and united in the significant conclusions.

The Conclusions
It is important to remember that this paragraph should not
present new information.
This section is longer than the abstract and generally includes
more specific conclusions.

Authors answer
The file has uploaded as the name of List of Figure and Table captions- Jan.31
through the Table category. Please kindly be informed there was a table file which is
separately uploaded. Thank you.
As for 6.b, I got the figures from Ref #2, which is a book, However in
newest revision, I tried to draw a new Figure as for 6.b since It is
quite good for readers to find baseline equation before going through
any modeling.
