As you write, consider
When you write papers that require data collection (or are based on data someone else has collected), you are writing an empirical research paper or a lab report. Research papers presenting new data have a common template that includes the following sections:
A good title describes the main topic or finding of your paper and makes it easier for another researcher to find your work.
A good introduction provides sufficient background and context to set up the research question your study is trying to answer and the hypotheses being tested.
A good methods section provides a detailed account of the procedures and materials, so readers are able to evaluate, critique, and replicate the study.
A good results section presents a distilled version of your findings clearly and objectively.
A good discussion provides an interpretation of the results within the context established in the introduction.
A good references section informs the reader of all the sources used to produce the paper and study.
