IRMAD Format


The IMRAD format is a lot different than the normal research papers that students learn how to write in high school. The structure is a lot different. In the IMRAD format you must write an abstract first. Following you have to write, Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion sections.

In the introduction you are answering the question, "why are you writing this report?" and in the methods section you explain what you did in your research. To continue, in results you explain what you found in your research, and in discussion you explain why your findings are importantThese sections are important to include, so that the reader can easily locate information needed about the research.

The title is also more important in IMRAD, than in the basic english paper. The title needs to be informative and explaining what is being researched.

Thus it appears that obtaining compliance with a small request does tend to increase subsequent compliance” (Freedman and Fraser, 198, 1966).  This is important because this significant data supports that the foot-in...
