Question

What is the scientific format?

Answer 1

If you're asking about the general format of scientific papers, this is the standard set (the first added some that are not common to most, and left off a couple of nearly ubiquitous ones):

1. Title (& Author Names, Affiliations, Contact Information for Corresponding Author)

2. Abstract

3. Introduction

4. Materials and Methods

5. Results

6. Discussion

7. Acknowledgments

8. Literature Cited (aka References)

The objectives/hypothesis are nearly always covered in the Introduction, and conclusions are typically included in the Discussion.

Answer 2

1. Introduction

2. Objectives / Hypothesis

3. Materials and Methods (a.k.a. Procedure)

4. Results

5. Discussion

6. Conclusions

Answer 3

There is also an "abstract", which is a short, very succint paragraph or so summarizing your paper.
