Abstract
强烈建议整篇文章写完后再写摘要。
把文章每个部分选一些句子出来就可以拼凑成一个abstract了。
一个abstract的模板:
1一两句话说明这个实验的主要理论依据,或者实验需要证明的假说。2一两句话说一下这个理论或者假说的相关的研究。
3两三句话描述一下实验
4两三句话概括一下实验结果
5一句话说一个结论,解释一下这个实验的意义或结果的重要性
转一个别人的e_ample:

Introduction
Introduction以实验目的为开头,解释一下这个实验需要证明的东西。具体实验目的视全篇实验报告长度而定,几段到几页都有的。
实验目的写完后介绍实验基本理论。介绍一下前人或者文献里的相近相关的实验,写一下他们的成果以及不到位的地方。(well,如果是学校安排的每年都要
做的实验就写写类似相关实验的优劣吧),这部分注意写reference。
然后介绍一下实验过程。如果实验用了一些非常见的仪器,也可以在这个部分做一个简要介绍。
再转一篇我认为写得很好的Introductione_ample

Methods
这部分通常包括Material和Procedure两个部分。
Material:
详细的写出实验用到的材料,设备,器材。像下面这样是不够详尽的:Chromatography
Lightbulbs
Computer
比较一下下面的:
LC-10AVPPlusHigh-performanceliquidchromatography
24incandescent60Wlightbulbsarrangedina64rectangularmatri_(SeeFigure2)
DellPrecisionT7500(_eon_55502.66GHz,6GBRAM,64bitWindows7Professional)
另外,如果实验对象中有人的话,介绍人数,群体背景。用Subjects来称呼。比如
Subjects

Procedure
详细写出每一步步骤。不要虚构理想化实验,不要夸大某个过程
如实叙述即可。如果步骤比较多就用数字标出每一步。

Results
实验的数据,公式,图表,计算过程,用一种对读者最友好的形式展示出来。实验的原始数据通常都是放在附录的,这里都是放处理过的数据。
如果有大量的计算,至少要列出其中一个samplecalculation.
Results部分的开头最好重复一下实验目的。
如果结果很多,最好分成不同的section
e_ample:

Discussions
对于results中描述的实验数据,在这个部分中进一步诠释,解释每个结果的含义,为后面conclusion做准备。
discussions的开头把实验的理论或者假说重复一遍,然后说明其中一个观点1Thee_periment’sresultsprove(recommend)thetheory(hypothesis).2Thee_periment’sresultsdisprovethetheory(hypothesis).3Thee_periment’sresultswereinconclusive.
然后几个方面说明这个观点

Conclusion
概括一下resultsandthediscussion的最主要最精华的部分。因为abstract和conclusion是被最常看的部分。discussion和conclusions永远是两个不同的部分。
通常的:
1thetheory(hypothesis)
2theresults
