Writing a Scientific Paper

I read the first article called "Guidelines for Writing a Scientific Paper". The article talked about starting your paper with an abstract. An abstract is a brief paragraph that summarizes all of your work and generally describes each major point in your paper. Following that everything else is pretty much the same as the lab report that we have been writing. Included in the scientific research paper is a a section for results and a a section for tables and figures. This is a breakdown of the data and observation section that goes into more detail about the graphing and calculation. I think that the lab report is less detailed but it is much more useful jest because it is easier to read rather than the scientific report.
