The sections of this paper are, in order: Abstract, Introduction, Results, Methods, Additional information, Accession codes, References, Acknowledgements, Author information, Supplementary information Is it typical to present the methods after the results in medical research papers? And to have the author info and acknowledgements after the main write-up? In my field we were consistently taught to present the intro/lit review (i.e. set-up the problem space), then methods (i.e. how we're trying to solve the problem that we just laid out for you), then the results (i.e. using the methods that the reader now knows, here's the data), and finally any interpretations of the results. In addition, I was always taught that author info and acknowledgements go before the main write-up. This is to help illuminate potential biases (e.g. research into gun-related violence will read very differently if either the National Rifle Association or the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence funded the research).
