Continuation of Structure Activity

In the research article, the sections are broken down into the generic sequence: introduction, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion. In contrast, the review article starts with an introduction, but then moves on to sections classified by content-based topics. The sections of the review article contain content that may be found in the results section of a research article, albeit less formal. In the research article, the first paragraph of each section serves as an introduction to the section itself and summarizes it to a degree. The first paragraph of each section in the review article addresses certain research studies and begins to critique and compare them with one another. The in-text citations of each article also differ in the manner in which they are presented. In the research article, the in-text citations are used in the introduction to provide background information and context in an effort to inform the reader about the scope of the project. In the review article, the citations are utilized throughout each section for factual evidence and to give the reader a perspective on the studies being reviewed.
