How do people usually prepare to write an article? I'm grasping at straws here and have been just reading a bunch of articles from the journal I want to publish in to get an overall outline of how an article should be written. Am I going overboard?

I like to start with an outline of what I want to talk about.

Outlines are great and I plan on doing that. I'm just wondering if there exists some structural formula that journals like to use for published articles. Such as, "put this in the introduction or put this in the body".

I think you're on the right track. Definitely different journals have different formats -- particularly when length is an issue. I don't know if this will help at all, but you may find some good nuggets of information here: http://ocw.mit.edu/NR...
