Editing Structure of a quantitative empirical research paper (section)

=== Front matter ===

Your front matter is not a formal section but a collection of material that comes ''before'' your paper. Front matter usually includes:

* A titlepage that includes:
** The full title of the paper.
** The name, affiliation, and email of each author.
** A note (often in a footnote) thanking others for support.
* An abstract, usually between 150-250 words.
