\section{Introduction}

This is a model document describing how to write scientific reports and articles. The section titles follow the standard IMRAD structure.

In the introduction, the idea is to explain the background and context of the results presented in the report. It is important to know the target audience as well as possible and write the introduction so that it is easily accessible to them.

\section{Materials and Methods}\label{sec:methods}

This section is for describing the mathematical and computational methods used in to achieve the results. Also, if the study involves experiments with samples or materials, they should be explained here.

\section{Results}\label{sec:results}

The Results section is for a detailed explanation of what happens when the methods of Section \ref{sec:methods} are applied to the materials. There should be no interpretation of what the results might mean, just a dry and factual report with numbers, charts and plots.

\section{Discussion}

This section is for interpretations of the results presented in Section \ref{sec:results}. Sometimes this section is called Conclusions, or Discussion and Conclusions.
