This review provides a comprehensive overview of the structural architecture of academic research articles, with a particular focus on principles relevant to clinical medicine publications. It discusses the widely accepted IMRAD format-introduction, methods, results, and discussion-highlighting the purpose, scope, and writing strategies associated with each section. International guidelines such as International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT), and Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) are referenced, accompanied by illustrative examples. Emphasis is placed on the importance of internal consistency, clarity, and adherence to scientific and ethical standards throughout the review. A successful article should clearly define knowledge gaps in the introduction, ensure transparency and reproducibility in the methods, present results objectively, and interpret findings within a broader scientific framework. In conclusion, a well-structured academic article promotes effective knowledge dissemination and reinforces the credibility of the research. Especially in clinical disciplines like orthopedics and traumatology, methodological rigor and ethical responsibility are vital to producing high-quality publications.
