INTRODUCTION
- Will include a literature background of why your study is needed, the recent advances, and what Is missing in current research
- In this course, your background should have a summary of mass spectrometry practices DIRECTLY relating to your study not all the types
- It is important that with each reference you mention, you point the benefits but more importantly the shortcomings in a PROFESSIONAL way that leads to what your study will introduce or improve upon
- DO NOT include references that are not relevant to your study
- This section is usually the longest section and is about one to two pages in length
- Then you introduce what you are going to use and how relevant and novel your study will be
- Should be a lead up to what you are trying to introduce in your research
- THE LAST PART SHOULD HAVE SENTENCES INTRUDUCING THE PURPOSE OF THE RESEARCH AND WHAT RESEARCH QUESTION OR SOLUTION THE STUDY IS AIMING TO ACHIEVE.
- This is where most of your in-text citations will be as you are referencing the research.
DISCUSSION
- All the results are clearly explained
- Start with a review of the purpose of the study and what was expected to be found or established
- Explain the results in the order of which you listed them in the results section (ex. Refer figure 1)
- Citations are used here to support your findings and explaining what you think they mean, you must be able to back your results through previous literature results
- Usually is the longest section in addition to the introduction
- DO NOT USE I or ME statements
- Discussion – a review of the results and what they mean, also a relation to the introduction, why are the results important, what was significant or missing?
- For the discussion, make sure you discuss the relevant peaks in your spectrum that confirm what your sample is and how it was analyzed. Be as detailed as possible when discussing the sample spectrum.
CONCLUSION
- A small five sentence paragraph detailing the study, purpose, and the results. Keep it concise just like the abstract but more as a closing not an opening.
- NO CITATIONS SHOULD BE HERE
- This is all your own words
- No, I or WE statement
