INTRODUCTIONHow do you read a scientific paper?may at first seem like a superfluous question.Given how most biomedical research papers are structured,1 it might be natural for beginning (or even not-so-beginning) students to assume that one should first read the Title, then the Abstract, followed by the Introduction.Most might elect to skip the Methods section thatcustomarily follows the Introduction (although many jouals now place it towards the end of a paper), as it contains far too many technical details and is therefore boring.The Results section, which contains the meat of the paper, i.e., experimental data presented in the form of figures and tables, might receive the most attention, with the Discussion section that follows as a close second.
