Therefore, respected authors should pay attention to the type, sequence, and logical order of the information presented in the introduction. These principles are not different from qualitative and quantitative studies and include 1- Explaining the topic and field of research in general. 2. More specific explanations about the aspect or dimension of the problem that is of particular interest to this study. 3. Overview of the findings of other studies that are relevant to the research topic. 4- Analyzing the information presented in the above three sections, especially the findings of related studies, and explaining the vacuum or gap in the problem under study in order to carry out the present study. 5 - Expressing the main goals questions or hypotheses of the study.
· study method

In quantitative studies, the methodology should include clear and complete information about 1) study design and its suitability for purpose/question/hypothesis and time and place, study population, samples, sample entry, and exit characteristics, sample size estimation Methods, method of sampling and their allocation in study groups 2- Method of work or intervention stages, Measurement tools, its validity and reliability, the Scoring process of data from the tool (quantitative and qualitative) and Ethical considerations 3. Data management, computer software, statistical methods and tests
In qualitative studies, it should include clear and complete information about: 1- Designing the study and its relevance to the research purpose/question, time and place or the natural environment of the study, how to reach the participants and their characteristics 2- Method or method of entering the researcher In the normal field of study, a full explanation of the methods and procedures for producing or collecting data, how to saturate or complete the data collection, explaining the methods used to determine the validity and accuracy of the data (credibility, Confirmability, Transferability and Dependability) and Ethical Considerations 3- How to Manage Data, Computer Software (if applicable) Data), methods, data analysis and its relevance to the study.
· findings
Another important part of the paper that mirrors the overall outlook of the study is the information expressed in the findings section. As the findings of the qualitative and quantitative studies differ, the method of writing this section is also discussed separately.
Findings in quantitative studies include: 1) Investigating the extent and distribution of demographic and confounding variables (how they are distributed in the study groups) 2. The main findings should be presented clearly and adequately based on the objectives of the study. So that the reader can easily judge the extent to which the goals are achieved. 3. Data and statistical concepts such as number/percent or mean/standard deviation should be mentioned. Type and proportion of tests and their significance level. 4. The data and findings presented in tables and diagrams should not be repeated in the text and summarized as far as possible in their distribution in the summary text. 5- Tables and diagrams in Farsi, including express title, time, and place of study. They have a maximum of 5 items are not larger than 10 15 15 cm and do not require subtitles to be subtitled (such as *, + ...).
In qualitative studies: 1 - First, summarize the findings in each step based on the rhythm pattern and analysis method chosen in the study. 2. Then describe and explain the main classes, concepts, or themes with their subsets along with direct quotes from the participants or the initial data recorded. 3. Finally, in accordance with the research question or questions (meaning or process of the phenomenon under study), the findings of the study are explained, as the meaning is explained or the basic theory is derived from the study data and represents a clear and logical relevance of the concepts. Be the main classes, variables, or variables.

The discussion should include summarizing and concluding the findings in terms of how to answer the research objectives or questions, and consider the following: 1. In quantitative studies, this summary should be numerical and statistical without repeating the findings. . 2- How the findings of the present study relate to other research findings (favorable and disagreeable) conducted in Iran and around the world (cited as sources) and analyze (not just describe) the reasons for rejecting or accepting them. 3. Unexpected findings should also be reviewed and interpreted. 4. If a study is based on a theoretical and model framework, it should interpret the findings in relation to it. 5 - Avoid commenting on findings beyond study findings.
