π Understanding the IMRAD Structure in Scientific Writing
The IMRAD format is a widely used structure for scientific and academic articles, especially in empirical research. IMRAD stands for:
πΉ Introduction β Provides background information, states the research problem, and presents objectives.
πΉ Methods β Describes study design, data collection, and analysis techniques.
πΉ Results β Presents findings with tables, graphs, and statistical analyses.
πΉ And Discussion β Interprets findings, compares them with previous research, and suggests future directions.
π Example of an Introduction (Excerpt):
*"Lung cancer remains a leading cause of mortality. Despite advancements, survival rates are low. Immunotherapy shows promise, but response varies. This study evaluates PD-L1 expression as a predictor of treatment response."*
π Example of a Methods Section (Excerpt):
*"A retrospective cohort study of 250 lung cancer patients (2015β2023). Immunohistochemistry assessed PD-L1 levels. Data were analyzed using SPSS, Kaplan-Meier curves, and Cox proportional hazards models."*
π Example of a Results Section (Excerpt):
*"Among 250 patients, 65% had high PD-L1 expression. Median survival: 18.4 months (high expression) vs. 9.2 months (low expression) (p < 0.05). PD-L1 was an independent predictor of survival."*
π‘ Example of a Discussion Section (Excerpt):
*"Our findings suggest that high PD-L1 expression correlates with better survival in immunotherapy patients, aligning with previous studies. However, limitations include retrospective design and potential bias. Future prospective studies are needed."*
