Lecture 7 Writing the Experimental Section 1 In some books on the structure of a research paper, an alternative heading Materials and Methods is used for the Section which others called Experimental. The two names cover broadly the same area of a research paper. For within the Experimental paper that we describe the Materials employed and the methods used for resolving a research question 2 What should be included in theExperimental section It is within this section that the writer will begin describing the actual research that was introduced at the beginning of the paper. The section is then largely descriptive. Its purpose is to describe accurately the materials, apparatus and equipment used and the procedures, protocols employed The methods or procedures used are central to scientific research and they must be carefully planned and executed for them to be reproduced by fellow peers. Hence accurately reporting of the procedures is most vital For Chemistry and chemical engineering research we would normally expect the experimental section to include Reagents and solutions" where an accurate account of chemicals their sources and quality, and the methods of preparations will be stated

It is within this section that the writer will begin describing the actual research that was introduced at the beginning of the paper. The section is then largely descriptive. Its purpose is to describe accurately the materials, apparatus and equipment used and the procedures, protocols employed. The methods or procedures used are central to scientific research and they must be carefully planned and executed for them to be reproduced by fellow peers. Hence accurately reporting of the procedures is most vital! For Chemistry and Chemical Engineering research, we would normally expect the Experimental section to include : “Reagents and Solutions” where an accurate account of chemicals, their sources and quality, and the methods of preparations will be stated

The writer will also include another heading such as Apparatus and measurement"or Equipment Experimentation"or similar headings where a full and detailed description of the experiments conducted or procedures used is given The Experimental section of a paper should be written first before other sections as it is the easiest to write. It is largely reporting what the writer had observed and carried out
