Challenge: Decompose a research paper into the four parts of the diamond

Instructions

Find a research paper that concerns something of interest to you. It can be an excerpt from a book (even textbook), an article published in a journal or conference proceedings, or an open-access paper. Use search engines such as Google Scholar or browse a journal’s webpage.
