  1. WorkshopWriting Scientific Papers:Paper Body Clovis Torres Fernandes 22/nov/2013

  2. Workshop Goals To present some tips for writing good paper bodies for scientific papers To gain hands-on experience applying some of the tips to real examples

  3. Four Sections Scheme Paper Body

  4. Describe the problem/question to be solved Describe your solution Evaluation and Results Related Work and Discussion Four Sections Scheme

  5. Section 2 Describe the problem/question to be solvedn(based on related works) Why is it a problem/question? Why is it important to solve it? Background/research context

  6. Section 3 Describe your solution You are convincing the PC member that your solution really could solve the problem/question This section is sometimes supplemented with a section describing implementation details

  7. Section 4 Evaluation and Results Show that your solution really solve the problem/question The section where you prove your initial question, hypothesis, idea, etc.

  8. Section 4 Assessment of solution validity: The results show that you really solved the problem/question You have thought of all reasonable counterarguments

  9. Section 4 Structure: Experiments/Case Studies: Plan Experiments/Case Studies: Results

  10. Section 5 Related Work and Discussion: Describe what other people have done in the area and compare with your work/results Convince others that what you have done is novel and relevant

  11. Section 5 Related Work and Discussion: (cont.) What might the answer imply and why does it matter? How does it fit in with what other researchers have found? What are the perspectives for future research?

  12. Section 5 Related Work and Discussion: (cont.) What might the answer imply and why does it matter?  Conclusion How does it fit in with what other researchers have found? What are the perspectives for future research?  Conclusion

  13. Section 5 Structure: Results Interpretation Comparison with related works Qualitative evaluation

  14. Results Interpretation

  15. Results Interpretation

  16. Section 5 Results Interpretation: Interpret and describe the outcomes of your research by means of: Figures Tables Graphs Images Calculations etc.

  17. Results and Discussion Style: Results/past-present; Discussion/present 3rd Person, preferably: related work 1st person, plural: the rest Use active voice whenever possible Subsections may improve organization and comprehension

  18. Body Paper: Four Sections SchemeEstimated Length for each Section Abstract– 4 sentences – 150 words Section 1: Introduction – 1p (p= A4 page) Section 2: Research Problem – 1p Section 3: Solution – 2/5p Section 4: Results – 2/5p Section 5: Discussion – 1/2p Section 6: Conclusion – 0.5p

  19. IMRAD structure An acronym for Introduction, Methods, Results, And Discussion Alternative Scheme

  20. IMRAD structure An acronym for Introduction, Methods, Results, And Discussion Usual in medicine, electronics and experimental software engineering papers! Alternative Scheme

  21. IMRAD structure Introduction Why was the study undertaken? What was the research question, the tested hypothesis or the purpose of the research?

  22. IMRAD structure Methods When, where, and how was the study done? What materials were used or who was included in the study groups (patients, professionals, students, etc.)?

  23. IMRAD structure Results What answer was found to the research question? What did the study find? Was the tested hypothesis true?

  24. IMRAD structure And Discussion What might the answer imply and why does it matter? How does it fit in with what other researchers have found? What are the perspectives for future research?
