Q & A

What is the definition of an article or scientific work?

An article is a non-fictional piece of writing that explains or discusses a particular theme. It is based on facts and may present research findings or literature studies, with the aim of conveying the author's thoughts on reality, facts, and concepts encountered in the field.

What is the purpose of writing a scientific article?

The primary purposes of writing a scientific article include publishing research in academic journals, presenting findings at seminars or workshops, reporting research results, fulfilling academic assignments, and participating in competitions or challenges with specific themes.

How long should a scientific article be?

A scientific article should ideally be between 3,500 to 7,000 words, including the abstract and bibliography. It is important to avoid writing too little or too much to ensure proper coverage of the topic.

What is the first step in writing a scientific article?

Why is it important to determine the problem or unique aspect of the theme?

Identifying the problem or unique aspect of the theme allows the writer to present a clear and focused argument or exploration. It also helps in defining the goals and direction of the article.

What role do references play in writing an article?

References, particularly recent scholarly journals (preferably from the last five years), are essential for providing evidence, supporting claims, and grounding the article in established research. References help strengthen the argument and demonstrate the writer's thoroughness in reviewing current knowledge.

What is the correct structure of a scientific article?

The structure of a scientific article typically includes: 1) Title and author(s) identity, 2) Abstract and keywords, 3) Introduction, 4) Methodology, 5) Theoretical framework, 6) Results and discussion, 7) Conclusion with recommendations, and 8) Bibliography.

What is an abstract, and why is it important?

An abstract is a concise summary of the article's key points, including the issue being addressed, the research method, findings, and conclusions. It is important because it provides readers with a quick overview of the article and helps them decide whether to read the entire paper.

What should be included in the methodology section of a scientific article?

The methodology section should describe the approach used for data collection and analysis, such as qualitative or quantitative methods, surveys, or literature reviews. It should also explain the sampling methods, tools used for data collection, and the validity of the data.

What is the purpose of the conclusion in a scientific article?

The conclusion should summarize the findings, answer the research questions, and provide recommendations or insights for future research. It should not simply restate results but offer a synthesis that addresses the original problem or hypothesis.
