   • Quantitative studies are original studies performed by writers. Research papers of this type should include sections such as Hypothesis (or Questions to Ask for Research), Known Results, Methods, Constraints, Results, Discussions and Applications.
   • Synthesized articles will summarize and analyze recently published research. This type of paper will show the strengths and weaknesses of those studies, put them in a specific situation, and then suggest directions for further studies.
