2.The IMRaDResearch Paper Structure

22. Paliparan III Senior High SchoolPaliparan III Senior High School
“IMRaD” format refers to a paper that
is structured by four main sections:
Introduction, Methods, Results, and
Discussion

23. Paliparan III Senior High SchoolPaliparan III Senior High School
Introduction –Make a case for
your research
The introduction explains the importance of your research.
You begin by describing the problem or situation that
motivates your research. Move to discussing the current state
of your research in the field; then reveal a “gap” or problem in
the field. Finally, explain how the present research is a
solution to that problem or gap. If the study has hypotheses,
they are presented at the end of the introduction.

24. Paliparan III Senior High SchoolPaliparan III Senior High School
Methods –What did you do?
The methods section tells readers how you conducted your
study. It includes information about your population,
sample, methods, and equipment. The “gold standard” of the
methods section is that it should enable readers to duplicate
your study. Methods sections typically use subheadings; they
are written in past tense, and they use a lot of passive voice.
This is typically the least read section of an IMRaDreport.

25. Paliparan III Senior High SchoolPaliparan III Senior High School
Results –What did you find?
In this section, you present your findings. Typically, the
Results section contains only the findings, not any
explanation of or commentary on the findings. Results
sections are usually written in the past tense. Make
sure all tables and figures are labeled and numbered
separately. Captions go above tables and beneath
figures.

26. Paliparan III Senior High SchoolPaliparan III Senior High School
Discussion –What does it mean?
In this section, you summarize your main
findings, comment on those findings, and
connect them to the other research. You also
discuss limitations of your study, and use
these limitations as reasons to suggest
additional, future research.
