original research articles

Original research articles are detailed reports written by scientists about studies they have conducted. They present new findings, methods, and evidence gathered through experiments or observations. These articles typically include an introduction to the research question, a description of how the study was done, the results found, and what those results mean. They help advance knowledge in a field by providing fresh data and insights, allowing other researchers to verify, build upon, or challenge the work. Overall, they are the primary way scientists share discoveries directly from their experiments.
