Part 1 Comments on the content of each move According to the explanation in Charpter 4, there are three Moves that should be included in the METHODs section of the medical paper. Firstly, the Move 1 of the methods section generally determines the nature, feature and source of the reached subjects. For example, the first sentence in the Study Population section is “The study population consisted of obese adults who were at least 21 years of age and had one or more cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, or diabetes).” It is explicitly identified the studying people, their age and physical status in this articale. The following example is the first sentence in Oversight section “Opportunities for Weight Reduction (POWER) trials, each supported by a grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.10,11 For this trial, Healthways, a disease-management company, also provided support. The Prevention and Control Core of the Baltimore Diabetes Research and Training Center contributed to the data analysis”. So the names of the institute, company and training center who provided the data and supports are described respectively. Moreover, there is another instance to specify the particular group and their feathers, which is the first sencentce in the second paragragh of the Study Population section, which is “Participants were recruited from primary care practices in the Baltimore metropolitan area between February 2008 and February 2009 through physician referral, brochures, and targeted mailings.” Therefore, the author concretely displayed the range, feature and source of the reaching subjects.
