Background should succinctly outline the rationale for the proposed study/project, including the problem the project aims to address or the research question/s. This is typically accomplished by characterizing the state of the science for the particular area (what we know and do not know), and how the submitted study contributes to advance science.
Methods: including the general design, strategy, or approach to the work, should be appropiate for the type of submission indicated. For more research-based submissions, the sample, research design, method (e.g., qualitative, quantitative) and analytic plan should be described. A broad range of methodologies are encouraged; preference will not be given to specific research designs, analysis, etc.
Results in the form of findings, lessons learned, or results of analyses should be clearly stated and relevant statistics, if statistics were calculated, should be reported (e.g., beta coefficients, p-values, correlation coefficients).
Conclusion should address the significance, future work, and/or practice implications of the results.
