Main body 
Scientific Reports has no explicit requirements for section organization. According to the authors' preferences, the main body of the text can be organized as best suits the research. In some cases, it may be appropriate to combine relevant sections. As a guideline, we recommend 
that your manuscript contains the following sections: 
Introduction 
The introduction section of the main text expands on the background of the work (some overlap with the Abstract is acceptable). The background should put your paper into context and must be clear so that readers are able to understand the aims, purpose and significance of your research. 
Results
