Parts of the Research Paper
1. Abstract: It is an original work, not an excerpted passage. An
abstract must be fully self-contained and make sense by itself, without
further reference to outside sources or to the actual paper.
2. Introduction: The first job of the introduction is to tell the reader
what your topic is and why it’s interesting or important. This is
generally accomplished with a strong opening hook.
The hook is a striking opening sentence that clearly conveys the
relevance of your topic. Think of an interesting fact or statistic, a strong
statement, a question, or a brief anecdote that will get the reader
wondering about your topic.

3. Material & Methods: The Materials and Methods section is a vital
component of any formal lab report. This section of the report gives
a detailed account of the procedure that was followed in completing
the experiment(s) discussed in the report. Such an account is very
important, not only so that the reader has a clear understanding of
the experiment, but a well written Materials and Methods section
also serves as a set of instructions for anyone desiring to replicate
the study in the future. Considering the importance of "reproducible
results" in science, it is quite obvious why this second application is
so vital.

4.Results Section: The results section of the research paper is where you
report the findings of your study based upon the information gathered as a
result of the methodology [or methodologies] you applied. The results
section should simply state the findings, without bias or interpretation, and
arranged in a logical sequence.
5. Discussion: The purpose of the discussion is to interpret and describe
the significance of your findings in light of what was already known about
the research problem being investigated, and to explain any new
understanding or fresh insights about the problem after you've taken the
findings into consideration. The discussion will always connect to the
introduction by way of the research questions or hypotheses you posed
and the literature you reviewed, but it does not simply repeat or rearrange
the introduction; the discussion should always explain how your study has
moved the reader's understanding of the research problem forward from
where you left them at the end of the introduction.

6. Conclusion: The conclusion, you should restate the whole work and
show how it has been developed through the body of the paper. Briefly
summarize the key arguments made in the body, showing how each of
them contributes to proving your research work.
7. References: It provides the information necessary for a reader to
locate and retrieve any source you cite in the body of the paper.
8. Acknowledgment: In a research paper, an acknowledgement refers
to the section at the beginning of your research formatting where you
show your appreciation for the people who contributed to your project.
It is up to you to determine who you are most grateful to for helping
you with the research.
