• Patient consent: State that informed consent was obtained from

the patient.

Order for Preparation of the Manuscript

As mentioned above, most research publications follow the IMRAD

format. However, it is often easier to write each section in a different

order than that of the final paper.

Authors recommend you organize the data first and then write the

sections as follows:

• Figures and tables: Decide how your data should be presented.

You can use graphics, tables or describe it in the text.
• Methods: It is important that anyone can use your methods to
reproduce your experiments.
• Results: Here you write only what the results of your experiments
were. You do not discuss them here.
• Discussion: This section requires analysis, thought, and a thorough
understanding of the literature. You need to discuss your results
without repeating the results section.
• Conclusion: This section can either be under a sub-heading or the
last paragraph of the discussion. It should inform the reader how
your results advance the field.
• Introduction: Now that you have thought about your results in the
context of the literature, you can write your introduction.
