Research Articles

/in /by

As described in the textbook (section 1-1), scientific research articles tend to follow a standard structure. You can read more about this structure on [Scitable](http://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/scientific-papers-13815490 
All biological research articles are indexed in a central database called [Pubmed](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/ “Pubmed”).

• Go to Pubmed and search for research articles on a topic of your choice by entering the name of a disease or organism in the search field. Once you have a list of papers you can manage your results by using the various filters running down the left hand side of the screen (eg you can filter for article type, such as review, or publication date such as the past 5 years only). To select open-access (free) articles, click on the filter for ‘free full text’ 

• Open 2-3 articles from your search and for each of them locate the different sections (abstract, introduction, results, discussion, materials and methods). The goal(s) and conclusion(s) are often found in the last paragraph of the introduction and discussion, respectively, as well as in the abstract.
• Without reading the full article or trying to understand it, locate the goal(s) and conclusion(s) of the study.
• Based on your search, briefly discuss in one paragraph the advantages (or disadvantages) of having a common structure for scientific research articles. You may, for instance, refer to the scientific method or compare to other types of articles. When citing articles or other types of document, follow standard APA guidelines as indicated in the syllabus and here https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/
