Avoid a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Authors should state the objectives of the work at the end of introduction section.

Method

Do you provide interpretation scientifically for each of your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results consistent with what other investigators have reported (what else)? Or are there any differences?

Conclusions
