Research paper in biology

I am writing a biology research paper. My topic is related to organs transplantation (current issues, ethical problems etc). I have written a draft and showed it to my professor. She was satisfied with the content and research, but she told that I need to work on my writing. According to her I didn't follow the structure, but I have no idea how am I supposed to build my research paper. Can somebody give me suggestions or recommend me articles about research paper writing??? please!!

In this case read similar papers to your research, and try to induce the structure...

Have a look at some samples..

I did not read any of the papers but hopefully they help and they might be useful as references...

It is a good idea to compare your paper with other papers. It will take time, but I am sure it is worth it!

I know nothing about biology, my papers are in engineering, so the principles may be the same.

The way i write papers, by making a story about the problems am trying to solve, and you know the rest of the drama...:u:
