In APA style, a scientific article typically consists of the following parts:

1. Title Page: This includes the title of the article, the author's name, and the institutional affiliation.

2. Abstract: A brief summary of the article, typically around 150-250 words, that provides an overview of the research question, methods, results, and conclusions.

3. Introduction: This section provides background information on the topic, outlines the research question or hypothesis, and explains the significance of the study.

4. Method: This section describes the research methods and materials used in the study, including the participants, procedures, and any instruments or measures used.

5. Results: This section presents the findings of the study, often using tables, figures, or statistical analyses to summarize the data.

6. Discussion: Here, the authors interpret the results, discuss the implications of the findings, and compare their results to previous research.

7. Conclusion: This section summarizes the main findings of the study and may also suggest directions for future research.

8. References: A list of all the sources cited in the article, presented in APA style.

9. Appendices (if applicable): Additional materials such as questionnaires, data sets, or other supplementary information that is not included in the main text.

Each of these parts serves a specific purpose in communicating the research process and findings to the reader, and together they provide a comprehensive overview of the study.
