| Question | Answer |
| Abstract | This is a summary that indicates whether the article is relevant to your purpose. It's generally written at the end but is the first thing you'll see in an investigation write up. |
| Introduction | Why you chose to do the study. Narrows down to aims and hypotheses. May mention background research (if there is any then you have a directional hypothesis) in the area. |
| Method | This concerns the procedure, design, sample, ethical issues and the apparatus/material used. This makes the study replicable. |
| Results | Descriptive (mean, mode, median, range, tables) and inferential (tests of significance) statistics come into this. |
| Discussion | This section concerns the conclusion of the research, research implications and whether it ties in with previous research. Results are interpreted and methodology is evaluated. |
| References | This is the final section of the study write up. It makes the investigation more credible. |
| Peer review | This is an external method of checking validity/reliability. Scientific work is assessed by other experts in the same field in order to avoid fraudulent research and ensure that the research is of high quality. |
| What are the 3 main purposes of peer review? | Allocation of funding Publication of research in scientific journals and books Assessing the research rating of university departments |
| What are the issues of peer review? | Finding an expert in a niche area may be difficult. It's usually done anonymously. The peer could criticise the "enemy" research if they don't want it published. Fairly recently introduced. Not all studies that we're familiar with have been peer reviewed. How do we validate resources published on the Internet? |
| Publication bias | Study replication or studies that show a null hypothesis are much less likely to be published, which basically implications for treatment. Research that fits into paradigm (the current set of assumptions) is more likely to be published. |
