Introduction

The introduction has to offer a brief overview of the scope, relevance, and significance of the research conducted, especially with regards to any of the previous research work and advancements in the same area.

Materials and Methods

As part of the Materials and Methodologies section of their manuscript, authors are required to - present the research design employed,

the type of research conducted,
the duration of the entire research study,
any inclusion/exclusion criteria,
choice of subjects, etc.

They are also required to describe their research methodology in detail, offering specifics on -

sample collection,
procession,
lab analysis,
