Scientific Paper Structure for Agricultural Economists

摘要

The introduction; materials and methods; results and discussion (IMRAD) structure makes it easy for one to present his research findings. Is this structure applicable for agriculture economics and agribusiness scientists? This question was answered using 5 journals from SCOPUS. IMRAD structure is good since it helps the reader to follow the sequence of a paper. The IMRAD structure should be IMRADC to include the conclusion since conclusion summarizes the findings and discussions and also make recommendations. Agricultural economics journals should stick to the IMRADC structure.
