Today we will have the pleasure of a lecture from Diane Clark, ALES librarian at the University of Alberta. Diane will wow us with all things APA.

During Diane's talk, please send three tweets reflecting on her talk to both of us: @JessL AND @di_clark. Also, feel free to ask Diane, via Twitter, any questions you might have. Be prepared too, as Diane might ask you to respond to her during her presentation using tweets!

Read a bit about Diane here and here.

Lecture 17: Science Journal Articles

In today's lecture we will review the elements of a scientific paper:


Abstract
Introduction
Methods
Results
Discussion
Works Cited/References



The second example of an abstract comes from this article: 



Green Tea Consumption Is Inversely Associated with the Incidence of Influenza Infection among Schoolchildren in a Tea Plantation Area of Japan


you can read the abstract here or the entire paper here.



Also very useful is this article: Writing the Empirical Journal Article by
Daryl J. Bem
He gives some very useful examples of opening statements and how to present your findings.
