3- Introduction: It should be brief and highlight the aims, objectives and importance of the study. It should contain a brief review of published literature related to the paper. Extensive review of literature should be avoided.
4- Materials and Methods: All important materials used and methodology employed along with their source should be mentioned with proper citation. New innovative methods or substantially modified methods may be described in sufficient detail. The statistical method should be clearly stated.
5- Results and Discussion: The findings of the study should be clearly described in this section. It may be supported by tables, graphs, figures, photographs etc., wherever needed. All tables, graphs, figures and photographs must have a title or caption and a legend to make them self-explanatory. The results must be followed by discussion in the next paragraph. It should contain a very good interpretation by comparison with earlier research. It should be helpful in enhancing the current understanding of the subject.
