    WHAT IS AN IMRAD?

    “IMRaD” format refers to a paper that is


    structured by four main sections: Introduction,
    Methods, Results, and Discussion. This format is
    often used for lab reports as well as for reporting
    any planned, systematic research in the social
    sciences, natural sciences, or engineering and
    computer sciences.
    INTRODUCTION
    MAKE A CASE FOR YOUR RESEARCH

    The introduction explains why this research is important


    or necessary or important. Begin by describing the
    problem or situation that motivates the research. Move to
    discussing the current state of research in the field; then
    reveal a “gap” or problem in the field. Finally, explain
    how the present research is a solution to that problem or
    gap. If the study has hypotheses, they are presented at the
    end of the introduction.
    METHODS
    WHAT DID YOU DO?

    The methods section tells readers how you conducted


    your study. It includes information about your
    population, sample, methods, and equipment. The “gold
    standard” of the methods section is that it should enable
    readers to duplicate your study. Methods sections
    typically use subheadings; they are written in past tense,
    and they use a lot of passive voice. This is typically the
    least read section of an IMRaD report.
    RESULTS
    WHAT DID YOU FIND?

    In this section, you present your findings. Typically,


    the Results section contains only the findings, not
    any explanation of or commentary on the findings.
    Results sections are usually written in the past tense.
    Make sure all tables and figures are labeled and
    numbered separately. Captions go above tables and
    beneath figures.
    DISCUSSION
    WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

    In this section, you summarize your main findings,


    comment on those findings (see below), and
    connect them to other research. You also discuss
    limitations of your study, and use these limitations
    as reasons to suggest additional, future research.
    ABSTRACT
    SUMMARIZE THE ENTIRE STUDY

    The abstract for the report comes at the beginning of the


    paper, but you should write it after you have drafted the full
    report. The abstract provides a very short overview of the
    entire paper, including a sentence or two about the report’s
    purpose and importance, a sentence or two about your
    methods, a few sentences that present the main findings, and
    a sentence or two about the implications of your findings.
