The 5 don'ts of research methodology.

Do not plagiarize.

It’s not a recipe; do not bullet or number; no outlines

Do not include results.

Do not begin sentences with a quantity.

Do not leave out details of the procedure.

Explain the process of inductivity coupled plasma (ICP) Spectrometry.

An ionization source that fully decomposes a sample into its constituent elements and transforms those elements into ions. The peaks represent isotopes.
