What is the most important part of a scientific article? Let's approach this seriously!
I read a question asking what is the most important part of a scientific article. As far as I can see, we have all gone crazy. The most significant part of a scientific article is… simply ALL OF IT.
By the way, nobody has commented on the REFERENCES. Or is a copy-paste enough?

Most important parts of an article are: 1. last paragraph in Introduction (this include the research question); 2. Results (obviously); 3. First paragraph of Discussion (it helps a lot to identify immediately the main results, especially if they are hard to understand); 4. Limitations (at the end of discussions); 5. Methods (mostly the part related to the population, inclusion/exclusion criteria and variables)
Dr. Akhilesh Prajapati
The most essential part of any scientific article is the results and discussion. It presents key findings and a proper interpretation of the study. Without a strong correlation and explanation, a study has no value.

The most important part of a paper is its methodology. If all things are done right, no matter the results, there will be confidence in the data presented. It should not matter whether results are positive or negative.
