Format for a social scientific journal_写作技巧

   social scientific research reports and journal articles are designed to describe what researchers did, why they did it, how they did it, what they found, and what that means. while all journals have their specific requirements, all research reports and journal articles follow the same standard format. the format is standardized to make it easy for readers to study research presented in a variety of journals. the speed with which you read journal articles and the understanding you gain from those articles will increase once you become familiar with the standard format.

 

    1.title: the title should be brief but clearly describe the focus of the research described in the article.

    2.author(s): the names of all authors are given. the institutional affiliation is also given, sometimes with the authors' names, sometimes at the bottom of the first page, sometimes at the end of the article, and sometimes at the end of the journal.

    3.abstract: the abstract is a brief summary of the article designed to give the reader an overview of what the researchers did, how they did it, what they found, and what it means.

    4.introduction: this section describes all prior research and theories that all relevant to the study described in the article. that prior literature is integrated to form the basis of an argument(s) supporting why the present study was conducted. the introduction also introduces and argumentatively supports whatever research hypotheses and/or research questions are addresses in the study.
