The sections of this paper are, in order: Abstract, Introduction, Results, Methods, Additional information, Accession codes, References, Acknowledgements, Author information, Supplementary information<p>Is it typical to present the methods <i>after</i> the results in medical research papers?  And to have the author info and acknowledgements <i>after</i> the main write-up?<p>In my field we were consistently taught to present the intro&#x2F;lit review (i.e. set-up the problem space), then methods (i.e. how we&#x27;re trying to solve the problem that we just laid out for you), then the results (i.e. using the methods that the reader now knows, here&#x27;s the data), and finally any interpretations of the results.<p>In addition, I was always taught that author info and acknowledgements go before the main write-up.  This is to help illuminate potential biases (e.g. research into gun-related violence will read very differently if either the National Rifle Association or the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence funded the research).
