Structure and content:
Scientific papers generally have the following structure:
- Introduction:
o In the introduction, the main ideas and concepts of the paper should be presented
o The aim is to motivate the reader to read the rest of the text
o Briefly describe the selected topic, the overall findings, and describe the main ideas which will be covered in the rest of the research paper
- Methodology:
o Depending on the topic of the research paper the methods and procedures applied should be specified at this point. As methodology you may select “qualitative methodology” or “quantitative methodology” or “mixed”. If the research paper is based on an opinion poll (qualitative method) the type of collecting information shall be specified. Secondary sources must be marked clearly. If a paper is based on an opinion poll, the type of information collection must be specified. Secondary sources must be clearly marked. If an individual method is used, this must be described.
- Results:
o Here the results are presented in a clear, well-structured and objective way using describing text, figures and charts.
o Interpretations of the results are not appropriate in this chapter. Comparisons with the results of other authors do not belong to this chapter either.
o Do not quote any literature in this chapter!
- Discussion:
o The results from the previous chapter are evaluated and/or interpreted. This can also be done by comparing the results with those of other authors.
o A critical evaluation of weak points identified can also be given in this chapter. o
Consequences can furthermore be drawn in this chapter.
o All sources quoted in the text have to be listed in the list of references. Each reader has to be able to find the original publication and/r the original source with the source stated.
- Conclusion:
o Introduction and summary represent the two „cornerstones“ of the paper.
o The summary describes the key findings of the paper and has to be clear and comprehensible on its own.
o Expand on the key findings of the paper – why is this important and what impact does this have in the real world?

List of references:
The list of references is arranged in alphabetical order or consecutively numbered. Quotations in the text section can be inserted using one of the two following procedures:
- APA (American Psychological Association) 7th edition guidelines specifying the author’s name:
o Example 1 – Author’s Last Name, Year:
Some research suggests working together in groups leads to better overall outcomes in the classroom (Blanco, 2009).
o Example 2 – Numerical Designation:
Some research suggests working together in groups leads to better overall outcomes in the classroom[1].
In the list of references, the literature quoted is displayed as follows: Example 1:
