3. Humanities Literature Articles that appear in research-based scholarly journals have a shared structure in most disciplines. You can generally expect to find: An abstract, summarizing the article’s content An introduction that presents the research question and review of the existing literature on the topic at hand A Methods section that outlines the methodology of the research being done by the authors A Results section that presents the findings of whatever research the authors have done A Discussion and/or Conclusion that places the article’s findings within the larger context of the field and suggests new avenues for future research References, or a list of citations referenced by the paper Articles written for the humanities, however, often take the form of critical essays and as such rarely have this rigid formatting.

4. An abstract is a summary of what the article contains: its topic, the author(s)’s investigation, and its findings. Introductions will typically provide the user with an overview of the current state of knowledge on a given topic and present or identify a gap, flaw, or other shortcoming that the article will then address.

5. The body of a humanities research article may be formatted in a number of ways depending on the nature of the research being done, the nature of the argument being made by the author, and conventions within the discipline. The article in our example employs numbered sections. If headings are used, pay close attention to them, as they provides hints to the structure of the argument the author is making. The body of a humanities paper will contain the detailed analysis and supportive evidence underpinning the author’s argument.

6. Though not always labelled as such, a Conclusion will typically follow the paper’s body, in which the author summarizes their views and may suggest useful avenues for future research on the topic. The information sources cited by the author throughout their paper are provided either in footnotes that run along the bottom of each page, or else in a “References” section appearing at the end of the paper.
