Refresher: Look for the IMRaD elements in Scholarly Articles

Primary research articles (also called empirical studies or research articles) contain firsthand information or original data on a topic that is not interpreted, evaluated, or analyzed.  These articles also include components or a variation of these components: Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (known as the IMRaD format). Primary research articles are usually peer-reviewed (i.e. article was critically evaluated evaluated by experts in the field before accepted for publication).
