thumb|upright=1.35|Cryogenic electron microscopy workflow thumb|An IMRAD model for developing research articles Workflow is a generic term for orchestrated and repeatable patterns of activity, enabled by the systematic organization of resources into processes that transform materials, provide services, or process information.
