INTRODUCTION

Introduction is the first section of an article, where the subject matter background is provided. Besides, it must contain the problem to be studied in a clear and straight form. Attempt to not use more than 10 years' references. In the last paragraph of this provision the objective research must be exposed.  

MATERIALS AND APPROACHES

In this provision the methodology used in the research must be described, referring to research design, sample characteristics, instruments, techniques, or procedures used, analysis and data processing. The author must make sure that the provision is clear in such a manner that any other research can be able to replicate the methodology used. Do not forget that if you worked with humans or animals, must be mentioned the relevant ethics committee adoption.  This provision is divided into the following sub-provisions: design, sample, instruments, procedure, and data processing.

 

RESULTS

Try to present the most outstanding results of the research, include figures and tables. See the APA section regarding the presentation of figures and tables. Remember that the data presented in the text and in the tables should not repeat each other, but complement each other. Also, tables and figures should be self-explanatory, so if you use abbreviations, use the footnotes to explain them even if you have already done so in the text (see APA guidelines).

DISCUSSION

In this section, it is recommended to begin with the analysis of the most outstanding result of the research with current scientific support. Make a clear discussion regarding the obtained results, based on the existing literature and critically analyzing the differences and similarities between your study and the research carried out in the same line.

CONCLUSIONS

This section should present the conclusions, formulated in a direct and simple manner, supported by the results of the research. Additionally, the limitations of the study and the impact that its results could have on the scientific community and society (What is the contribution of your study? What does it add to the existing literature?) should also be stated.

REFERENCES

Reference list must be attached at the end of the text, in the author's alphabetic order and following APA standards.
