精彩摘录
"The logic of IMRAD can be defined in question from: what question was studied? The answer is the Introduction. How was the problem studied? The answer is the Methods. What were the findings? The answer is the Results. What do these findings mean? The answer is the Discussion."
"The goal of scientific research is publication. A scientific experiment, no matter how spectacular the results, is not completed until the results are published. The scientist must not only "do" science but must "write" science. Certainly, many scientists do not like to write. As Charles Darwin said"
"… must provide a written document showing what he or she did, why it was done(reason or significance of the research), how it was done(method), and what was learned from it(results and discussion)."

No one wants flowers of eloquence or literary ornaments in a research article. — R. B. McKerrow Successful scientific experimentation is the result of a clear"
"A scientific experiment is not complete until the results have been published and understood.
