Results/Discussion
In this section, you explain all the results of your work in the form of table, graph, figure, case study, chart, etc. with the previous techniques.
Make sure your graphs and tables can speak for themselves. A lot of people skim over academic papers. The Results section should contain only results, no discussion. Do not repeat in words everything that your tables and graphs convey. You can, however, point out key findings and offer some text that complements the findings. Be sure to number your figures and tables according to journal guidelines and refer to them in the text in the manner specified by the journal. Clear-to-read graphs are essential. Do not overload graphs with data. Make sure axis descriptions are not too small.
Your discussion section should answer WHY you obtained the observed results. Do not simply restate the results. Also address WHY your results are important (i.e. how do they advance the understanding of the topic). If multiple explanations for your results exist, be sure to address each one. You can favor one explanation but be sure to mention alternative explanations, if some exist. If you don’t, your reviewers will. If your research findings are suggestive or supportive rather than decisive then make sure to indicate so. NEVER overstate the importance of your research findings. Rather, clearly point to their true significance. Understand the message of your paper. You may discover what the message is only after a literature search, as is occasionally the case for some manuscript types such as case reports. Highlight how your research contributes to the current knowledge in the field and mention the next steps or what remains. Feel free to explain why your results falsify current theories if that is the case. Make sure that your discussion is concise and informative. If you ramble and include a great deal of unnecessary information, your paper will likely get rejected or at least be looked upon less favorably.
