Research Article

These are detailed studies reporting original research and are classified as primary literature. They include hypothesis, background study, methods, results, interpretation of findings, and a discussion of possible implications. Original research articles are long, with the word limit ranging from 3000 to 6000 and can even go up to 12000 words for some journals. These require a significant investment of time.

Abstract: The Abstract should start on a new page, the aim of the abstract is to concisely describe the content of the paper. It should clearly and accurately summarize the main focus of the study. The word count should be under 250 words. The Abstract should be written as a single paragraph without headers. Do not include any citations in the Abstract.

Key-words: The keywords will highlight the beneficial area, mechanism(s) of action, key compounds and so on. Provide four to eight appropriate key words after abstract which should be separated by semi colon.

Introduction: Shall start immediately after the Abstract, as the next paragraph. The Introduction should lead the reader to the importance of the study; tie-up published literature with the aims of the study and clearly states the rationale behind the investigation.

Materials and Methods: Shall start as a continuation to introduction on the same page. All important materials used along with their source shall be mentioned. The main methods used shall be briefly described, citing references. Trivial details may be avoided. New methods or substantially modified methods may be described in sufficient detail. The statistical method and the level of significance chosen shall be clearly stated. Material Science Research India prefers to publish work that has been subjected to an appropriate statistical test at one level of significance.

Results: The Results section should contain details of all of the experiments that are required to support the conclusions of the paper. All findings presented in tabular or graphical form shall be described in this section. The data should be statistically analyzed and the level of significance stated. Data that is not statistically significant need only to be mentioned in the text – no illustration is necessary.

Discussion: The Discussion should include the major conclusions and interpretations of the work along with some explanation on the significance of the conclusion. This section should follow results, deal with the interpretation of results, convey how they help increase current understanding of the problem and should be logical. Unsupported hypothesis should be avoided. The Discussion should state the possibilities the results uncover, that need to be further explored. There is no need to include another title such as “Conclusions” at the end of Discussion. Results and discussion of results can also be combined under one section, Results and Discussion.
