What are methods used to study meteorites?

Methods and materials in a paper?

• Identify the true statement(s) about the Materials and Methods section of a research paper. 1. The Materials and Methods are written with enough detail that other scientists can repeat the study. 2. If a standard method published elsewhere is used, the authors of the research paper will always include the stepwise details of this method in the Materials and Methods. 3. The Materials and Methods provide a general summary of how the scientists conducted the experiment. what is throwing me off is that there's possibly more than one answer, but is it just #1?

• Answer:

  Just 1. If a standard method is used, authors simply have to reference the paper that that method was published in. It is not a general summary - #1 and #3 conflict.
