will ever appear in the public literature Paper usually includes:
a statement of the problem
a description of the experimental results
a summary of the results
a section on the interpretations or discussion of the results
a list of reference to the cited literature
experimental works
Permit evaluation of work as well as repetition by
Technical papers appear in journals.

What is an Introduction?
It could be long or short

literature
projects
The review also provides background information
Statements of purpose - rational for studying
This is one of the most important parts since it
explains the research aim

xper men a es gn Materials - description of instrument
- ,when, and how many times
8/9/2019 COMMUNICATION SCIENCE (SBB3802) LECTURE NOTES - Week 3

Object or phenomenon what is being studied Indicates how many were studied
How they were selected (were they selected randomly?)
Experimental Concept , . . .
inductive vs. deductive; deterministic, probabilistic or stochastic;systematic or chaos
Experimental Design Parameters used (variables and constants) Models and equations used
Arrangement of parameters and how they are related and what
Types of statistical analysis and test done
Materials - description of instrument -
consistently upon repeated measurement? Validity - deals with whether the instrument is truly measuring the
specific trait that it is supposed to measure
Procedure
How was the study conducted; where, when, and how many times

Results Discussion Conclusion Results - three main ways to present the results of the
statistical anal sis: Description; Tabular summary; Graph (figure)
Discussion - how results turn out (interpretation)
The purpose implies a research question and the discussionshould provide a direct answer to that question
Possible reasons why the results failed
Suggest ideas for further research
Gives an overall implication of the research
