 About Pubrica
IN BRIEF
TheJournalof  theMedicalLibraryAssociation
(JMLA)serves amoresignificantfunctionthan
storing data from librarian studies.
Our objective is to make research findings as  
valuable as possible to end-users. In its most basic  
form, the "Knowledge Transfer" model comprises  
three parts: producing information (research),  
translating and transmitting it to the user, and putting  
the knowledge into usage.
The JMLA is located in the centre of the process,  
conveying and summarising information to the user.
Contd...
The JMLA must first gather information and expertise from researchers, then collaborate with  
them to deliver it in the most usable way possible.
That implies the data must be presented in a standardized, comprehensible way.
A conventional, preferred method for writing an original research report exists.
Contd...
Since the second part, IMRAD has dominated academic,  
scientific, and public health magazines.
The IMRAD framework, 
which is suggested in the "Uniform  Requirements for 
Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical  
Journals," helps to minimize extraneous material and allows
 
 
essential information to be presented clearly and in a logical
 
 order.
The IMRAD portions are described here, along with our  
comments and suggestions.
Double-check the publisher's requirements if you're using  
this guide to submit to Write A Original Research Article.

INTRODUCTION
The introduction sets the standard for the rest of your  
speech.
It's divided into three sections: what's known, unknown,  
and your burning query, hypothesis, or goal Original  
Research Manuscript Writing Services.
Write for a general readership and keep this part brief  
(clear, concise, and as non-technical as you can be).  
How would you describe the study's purpose and  
methodology to a distant colleague?
Contd...
Takeyouraudiencethroughthethreeprocesses  
before posing your unique question.
Emphasize how your research fills in the blanks  
(the unknown) and clarify your research topic.  
Answer no to the research question.
Remember to save the facts, descriptions,  
hypotheses, and criticisms of other research for 
 the Discussion.

METHOD
S
TheMethodssectionprovidesaconcisesummary  of 
your work.
Give your audience adequate information to assess 
 your study's persuasiveness.
As in a recipe, describe the stages you did, but don't 
 go into too much detail.
Explain how you choose your subjects to represent 
 if you're undertaking qualitative research.
Contd...
Youmightwish tosplititintosmallerpartswith  
subheadings, such ascontext:when,where,whohas
permission or approval, sample selection, data collection  
(how), follow-up, and analytic technique.
Rather than discussing all the specifics, cite a reference for  
regularly used or previously utilized procedures in Scientific  
Original Research Article.
Method explanations can be made more accessible with  
flow diagrams and tables. When discussing your  
approaches, you may use first-person voice.
RESULT
S
The data are summarised in the Results section. 
Make  connections and define patterns.
Avoidjustrepeatingthenumbersfromthetablesand  
figures.
As far as possible, data should be kept to tables.
Summarize the tables as the kind narration would; do  
not repeat the facts in the text.
Contd...
If you had a demographic table with a  row  of  
ages, and the ages of the groups were not  
substantially different, your reader might state, "All  
of the participants were 47 years old on average.
The table shows that there was no significant  
difference between the groups."
"The mean age of group 1 was 48.6 (7.5) years,  
and group 2 was 46.3 (5.8) years, a non-significant  
difference," is superior to "The mean age of group 
 1 was 48.6 (7.5) years and group 2 was 46.3 (5.8) 
 years, a non-significant difference."
Contd...
DividetheResultssectionintosubsections,ifnecessary,  using 
headers.
Complement the data in the tables and figures with additional 
 information.

Also, save your opinions on the significance of your findings for the Discussion section.
Other tips to help you with the Results section:
If you need to cite the number in the text (not just in the table), and the total in the group is less than 
 50, do not include the percentage. Write "7 of 34," not "7 (21%)."

DISCUSSION
The most flexibility is in the Discussion section. The  
majority of authors begin by reiterating what they  
accomplished.
Every contributor should summarise the main points and  
respond to the question posed in the introduction.
Concentrate on what your statistics show rather than  
what you anticipated they would deliver.
Begin by saying "We discovered..." (or something similar) 
 and then explain what the data means.
Contd...
Anticipate your audience's inquiries and explain why your  
findings are significant.
Then relate your results to those of other people.  
This is where your literature review will be helpful.
Discuss how your findings corroborate or contradict the  
findings of previous research.
Unless you're doing a narrative or systematic review, you  
don't need to include every article from your Original  
Research Review Article literature review in your paper or  
reference list.
Contd.
..
Your paper isn't meant to be a comprehensive overview of  
the subject.
Don't give a lengthy summary of the literature; instead, focus  
on past work directly related to your results.
Contrary to widespread assumption, many references in the  
References section do not indicate that the article is more  
scholarly; instead, it suggests that the author is attempting to  
appear intellectual.
(The citation list may be longer if your paper is a systematic  
review.)
DON'T 
OVERREACH
Don't go too far with your findings.
Finding a perceived knowledge need, for  
example, does not indicate that library colleges  
must reform their curriculum right once or that it  
would enhance health care and save lives and  
money.
However, you may say "has the potential to."
Always note the restrictions that matter, not the  
constraints that apply to everyone.
Makealistofunsolvedquestionsandpotentialfuture  directions.
Give your results' big-picture implications and explain why 
 your audience should care.
Finishyourstudy'ssignificantresults,anddon'tdeviate  too 
far from your data.
Remembertoincludeafinaltake-homemessageand  
implications in your presentation.
It'sworthnotingthatthisapproachlacksadistinct  Conclusion 
section.
Contd.
..
The Discussion concludes with a conclusion. For  
example, consider the last paragraph of a recent NEJM  
article's Discussion section.
Finally, our study did not reveal the predicted benefit [of  
the intervention] in patients at high risk for problems.
For abstracts, however, a separate Conclusion section 
 is frequently suitable.
An Interpretation section should be included in  s
ystematic reviews.
Other aspects of your study article unrelated to IMRAD include: The foundation of your content  
is tables and numbers, and they are the narrative's plot.
Thetitles,abstracts,tables,andfiguresarefrequentlythefirstthingseditors,reviewers,and  
readers glance at. Figures and tables should communicate a full story on their own.
It should not be necessary for your readers to return to the primary material.
