The final section of the introduction should clarify the aim of the article authoring.

5. Method. This section should include sufficient details about the method used in the research. Detailed information about the method should be stated in clear explication.

The following components of the discussion should be addressed: How (what/how) do your findings connect to the original topic or objectives stated in the Introduction section? Do you provide a scientific interpretation for each of your conclusions or findings (and why)? Are your findings compatible with those of other investigators (what else)? Or are there distinctions?
