Including previous studies in a scientific article is an essential part of the literature review section, which is usually one of the first sections in a research paper. The literature review section provides a summary and critical analysis of existing research on the topic of the paper, including previous studies that have been conducted.

ncluding previous studies in a scientific article is an important aspect of providing context and supporting your research findings. Here are some tips on how to write about previous studies in your scientific article:

Use appropriate citations: Whenever you refer to a previous study in your article, make sure to cite it using the appropriate citation style. This will give credit to the original authors and allow readers to easily find the original source.

Provide context: When discussing a previous study, provide some context to help readers understand its relevance to your research. This might include discussing the methodology used, the main findings, and any limitations or criticisms of the study.

Compare and contrast: If your research is building on or challenging previous studies, it can be helpful to compare and contrast your findings with those of the previous studies. This will help readers understand the contribution your research is making to the field.

Use a literature review: If you are discussing multiple previous studies, consider using a literature review to organize your discussion. A literature review provides a comprehensive overview of previous research on a particular topic and can help you identify gaps in the existing literature that your research is addressing.

Be objective: When discussing previous studies, it's important to be objective and avoid bias. Stick to the facts and focus on the strengths and weaknesses of the previous research, rather than making subjective judgments.

By following these tips, you can effectively include previous studies in your scientific article and provide context and support for your research findings.

There are actually two sections of the research paper, but not limited to, where the researchers/author can include previous studies. This include the rationale or the introduction section which presents a view and scope of the prevalence of the problem reflected in the global and national trends of the problem being focused. Depending on journal orientation, a literature review may be separated from the introduction or it will just be part of it. If the journal orientation is to separate the literature review, then you can actually have the previous studies in this section. The researcher must have to take note that in this section of the manuscript, he/she must have to present the background knowledge pertinent to the study, specifically on the variables being covered in the research objectives. The researcher must have to present what has been done in the previous studies and the research gaps. By then, the researcher can fill-in the gap/s through his/her study which could frame the novelty and impact of the findings.

We include previous scientific articles, in a dialogic relationship between the reality or problem investigated in other contexts and the one being investigated in the present one.
