We are now into
Chapter 3 of your dissertation, this needs to be cut down to just a couple of
pages for an article. It is helpful to go to the APA manual and read the
section on methodology and look at their examples. You also might want to read
a recent article with similar methodology to yours. When you are ready, start
with an outline, which will look something like this:
Method
Participants
Materials
Procedure
Remember, your
method section must be in sufficient detail that someone else can replicate
your study based on your description. Therefore, each section needs to be
written in detail, however, note that there are fewer sections than in your
dissertation; so some things will need to be included in a sentence or two,
such as a brief mention of the approval by the IRB (give approval number).
The next section in your paper is
the results, we will examine this in a future post.
