IMRAD

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

IMRAD is an acronym for Introduction, Methods, Results And Discussion. It relates to the standard structure of a scientific paper, which typically includes these four sections in this order:

  • Introduction - why and where was the study undertaken?
  • Methods - how was the study done?
  • Results - what did the study find?
  • Discussion - what might it mean, why does it matter, what next?
