  writer should introduce the article and state its
  importance in improving current knowledge.
  Usefulness and novelty should be mentioned to
  increase the readers attention and interest.

  various subheadings for better dissemination of
  information. Various subheadings are subjects,
  procedures, definitions and criteria, data
  collection and statistical tools applied to

  correspondence to the subheadings of the methods
  section. The author should progress from the
  simple outcomes to the more complex outcomes.

  reviewer known to you. You may also seek advice
  from your mentor as he may have a lot of
  experience in publishing research articles.
