Main Body of Text The following is indicative of the layout of the main body of an empirical research paper analysing quantitative data:

 Introduction of the Research Question – summarises the aims of the research project; defines the area or topic and communicates its importance; identifies the gap in knowledge that empirical research can address

 Literature Review – reviews the relevant literature providing a commentary on the existing state of knowledge (theories and empirical evidence), trends, controversies, etc.; fully explains the research gaps and how the research can begin to fill the gap;

 Research Hypotheses – specific and explicit statement of research hypotheses that flow from and build on the literature and theoretical framework

 Method – provides concise justification for the chosen research method; outlines data collection steps taken with enough detail that the study could be replicated (repeated); describes the analyses conducted of the data

 Results – describes the findings from the data analysis; includes descriptive and inferential statistics presented in a clear and concise manner, possibly through tables, figures, and/or interview quotes

 Discussion, Limitations, Future Research, Implications, and Conclusion – pulls together the research questions that were asked with the answers that were obtained through the analysis of the data; provides commentary on these findings (e.g. do they confirm or reject particular views?; how do they inform the literature?); identifies limitations of the existing study; makes suggestions for future research; states clearly the conclusions that are reached and the implications and recommendations for relevant stakeholders (e.g. businesses, practitioners, governments, academics).
