Example text
The abstract for journals published under the auspices of the BPS should be structured using six required headings: Background, Aims, Sample(s), Methods, Results and Conclusions, with an optional Comment section. Of course these headings may need some adaptation in the case of theoretical papers and reviews. The point here is that you must look up the notes to contributors for your preferred journal to ensure that you have got the presentation right. In the following sections I introduce each of the main components of a journal article which will be elaborated upon in later chapters.
Quality problems and issues 21 research reports, and that the generalisations of findings are in keeping with what the method really allows the writer to say. As I discuss later, journal editors are very sensitive to inappropriate designs and the presentation of misleading findings. While most research writers will put the ‘best gloss’ on their design and analyses it is essential for you to clearly address the issue of what variables could or could not be controlled and the compromises involved in various levels of control.
It is not appropriate to introduce new, unrelated material here, nor is it appropriate to extrapolate beyond what your data and findings allow you to say. In other words, be circumspect in how you interpret your results and how you apply them to other situations. It is appropriate in the discussion to consider the limitations of your study and future directions for research. At times the reviewer or reader might consider that you should have addressed some of the limitations before conducting the study, or that you should complete further studies prior to having the present work published.
