Components of Manuscript Paragraphs
The manuscript text should be structured in a clear and concise manner, ensuring the effective communication of the research findings. The following components should be included:
1. Introduction:
Provide an introductory statement that outlines the scientific incentive behind the manuscript subject.
Clearly state the significance of the work in relation to practical applications, highlighting the problems it addresses or the practical advancements it enables. Also, the introduction should be presented as a separate section.
2. Results and Discussion:
Discuss the significance of the observations, measurements, or computations presented in the study.
Analyze the implications of the results for the applications outlined in the Introduction.
While it is not necessary to provide an extensive review of previous work in manuscripts, selectively citing relevant reviews is appropriate.
Tabulate experimental results when it enhances the presentation or optimizes the use of space.
Utilize the Supporting Information format to provide additional details.
3. Figure Captions:
Write concise and easily understandable figure captions.
Ensure that the captions provide sufficient information to comprehend the figures independently.
For graphs, include details that differentiate different datasets, indicate the analysis used to derive error bars, and briefly mention any observed trends.
4. References:
References must be provided in APA style, and they must be complete. It is recommended to consult the APA Style Guide for information on the required components of different reference types.
