Abstract
The abstract is a short (about 100-500 word) summary of the entire paper. It
should include: goals and objectives, results, and conclusions. It is usually
one of the last parts of the paper to be written.

Introduction
The introduction also has three main purposes.
First, it provides background and motivation for your topic (usually
includes a review of current literature on the topic).
Second, it describes the focus and purpose of the paper you are
writing.
Third, it gives an overview of what is contained in the paper's various
sections.

Literature Review

The researcher identifies and analyzes the already published literature that is
most relevant to the research project to be undertaken.
A literature review is an important tool to justify a research project. It can
indicate that your research has not previously been done, that you are
familiar with the work that has been done and how existing scholarship
supports (or contradicts) your research.

Methodology

This section should deal with two parts: where your data will come from and
what will be done with the data in order to answer your research question.
Methods of data collection
1. tests
2. experiments
3. surveys

4. questionnaires
5. observation
6. interviews
7. document review
This section in the research manuscript should also specify the participants
of the study (descriptions of who, how selected, how many, from where, for
how long).

Conclusions/Discussion
Here you state what youve learned or proved. What are the "take home
messages" or major accomplishments of this work? You may also describe
interesting observations, new questions, and future work here.
