First, let us reiterate the process of writing an article.

The sequence of writing an article is not the same as reading it. Usually, the most efficient way is to imagine the article as a wall, and build it brick by brick. You start with producing your Tables and Figures; this is essentially the data that will support your research and prove your results. Remember to include clear captions or legends when presenting these in your paper.

Next, you need to describe the Methods you used, the Results you found, and your Discussion around these results.

Writing your Conclusion should flow on from this quite easily.

Now you need to tackle the Introduction, and here you would include your viewpoint on where your work fits into the field as a whole.

Finally, you will write the Title, Abstract, and Keywords. You should find that using this process of building the article is easier, more logical, and more effective than trying to write an article in the sequence it will be read.
