55. Does the Introduction section have subheadings?
Description
Sub-sections and subheadings will be helpful.
The Methods and the Results sections of life-science papers are divided into sub-sections. And the sub-sections will have subheadings, i.e., the titles that serve as signposts of the sub-sections.
How about the Introduction section? What would this finding mean to us, the readers?
We will talk about them by scanning the Introduction of a paper written by Dr. Katalin Karikó & Dr. Drew Weissman, that led to the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2023. We call it the Milestone Article 1. Here are two sets of links related to the paper.
