How to structure a scientific article (5-8/5 2025)

Graduate School of Health Sciences at University of Southern Denmark

There are two major methods of writing an article: i) just write it, or ii) structure it first. Most people probably use a mixture of these two. We will show you how to keep the writing for later and concentrate totally on the structure. The course is designed to fit into the reporting culture of medical quantitative studies, but the principles are largely the same for qualitative studies. Laboratory studies have the same elements, as those taught in this course, but these elements are often put together in other sequences, e.g. the Methods, Results and Discussion could be mixed rather than described separately.
