-Methodology

-Result

-Conclusion.

Keywords: Keyword1; keyword2; keyword3; keyword4; keyword5.

1.0INTRODUCTION

The purpose of the introduction is to stimulate the reader’s interest and to provide background information which is pertinent to the study. The statement of the research question is the most important part of the introduction. The review of the literature needs to be short and concise. The content of the introduction is outlined in Table 2.

Table 1: Introduction

Background to the topic (past verb tense)
- What is known or believed about the topic
- What is still unknown or problematic
- Findings of relevant studies (past verb tense)
- Importance of the topic
Statement of the research question
- Several ways can be used to signal the research question , e.g.,
- “To determine whether ………”
- “The purpose of this study was to …….”
- This study tested the hypothesis that ……”
- “This study was undertaken to ……”
Approach taken to answer the question (past verb tense)

References are almost exclusively used in the introduction and the discussion. The references cited should be those which are the most valid and the most available. Articles in peer-reviewed journals satisfy both these criteria. Books, Master’s and PhD theses and some conference proceedings, those for which papers are rigorously reviewed, are also valid sources, but usually take longer to find.

Journal articles which have been accepted for publication are a valid source but those which have been submitted (but not yet accepted) are not, as they are unavailable. Avoid citing perusal communications and unpublished reports or observations. These are not strong evidence because they are unable to be accessed and evaluated.

2.0METHODS

This section is descriptive. The main consideration is to ensure that enough detail is provided to verify the findings and to enable replication of the study by an appropriately trained person. Information should be presented, using the past verb tense, in chronological order. Sub-headings should be used, where appropriate. Reference may be made to a published paper as an alternative to describing a lengthy procedure. Many journals require mention of relevant ethics committee(s) approval for the study and that subjects gave informed consent. Table 3 provides an outline for the content of the methods section.

Table 2: Methods

Outline of the study design
Subjects
- Method of sampling and recruitment;
- Number of subjects; and
- Justification of sample size.
- Inclusion, exclusion and withdrawal criteria;
- Method of allocation to study groups.
Variables
- Independent, dependent, extraneous, controlled.
Pilot Studies
- Outcome of any pilot studies which led to modifications to the main study.
Materials
- Equipment, instruments or measurement tools (include model number andmanufacturer).
Procedures
- Detailed description, in chronological order, of exactly what was done and by whom. Major ethical considerations
Data reduction/statistical analyses
- Method of calculating derived variables, dealing with outlying values and missing data.
- Methods used to summarise data (present verb tense).
- Statistical software (name, version or release number);
- Statistical tests (cite a reference for less commonly used tests) and what was compared;
- Critical alpha probability (p) value at which differences/relationships were considered to be statistically significant.

3.0RESULTS

The two functions of this section are to report the results (past verb tense) of the procedures described in the methods and to present the evidence that is the data (in the form of text, tables or figures), that supports the results. Tables and figures must be mentioned within the text and should be placed after the related text.

The order of presentation of the results should be either chronological to correspond with the methods or from the most to the least important. The order of most to least important should be followed within each paragraph. For every result there must be a method in the methods. Careful planning of the tables and figures is important to ensure that the sequencing of these tells a story.

The results must not include a discussion of the findings, methods of data analyses and citations of references, except on rare occasions when a comparison is made of the raw data with the findings of a published study. This applies only when this comparison would not fit well within the discussion.

4.0DISCUSSION

In order to make the message clear, the discussion should be kept as short as possible whilst still clearly and fully stating, supporting, explaining and defending the answers to the questions as well as discussing other important and directly relevant issues.The recommended content of the discussion is given inTable 4.

Table 4: Discussion

-Answers to the question(s) posed in the introduction together with any accompanying support, explanation and defence of the answers (present verb tense) with reference to published literature.
- Explanations of any results that do not support the answers.
- Indication of the originality/uniqueness of the work
- Explanations of:
- How the findings concur with those of others
- Any discrepancies of the results with those of others
- Unexpected findings
- The limitations of the study which may affect the study validity or
generalisability of the study findings.
- Indication of the importance of the work e.g. clinical significance
- Recommendations for further research

5.0CONCLUSION

This section should comprise a brief statement of the major findings andimplications of the study.
