It may include descriptions, tables of data, graphs and charts of experimental results, etc. This is a dispassionate, factual presentation of data, without a lot of interpretation. You should point out the important features of the data that are presented in a table or graph when it is mentioned in the text. It is not necessary however to comment on every nuance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">The data should be laid out clearly and fully enough that someone who knows the field could interpret it without even looking at your interpretations in the Discussion section. And you hope that another person in the field would come to the same conclusions you did, or that you will be able to persuade them with your research results that your interpretation is the best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto;\"><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto;\"><u style=\"cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">Discussion<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">Here you discuss the results of your research, how it fits in with other related research, and its implications for future research.

You must be as objective and unbiased as possible here. You are essentially saying what any knowledgeable person in the field could deduce from the data themselves. This is also where you tell a novice to the discipline the significance of the data, while at the same time not insulting the intelligence of the expert.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto;\"><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto;\"><em style=\"cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">Fit with related research<span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">puts your results in the context of the discipline and field. How do your results compare with similar studies done by others, past and present? Where do you agree or disagree with the conclusions of others, and why? What new things have come out of your study that were not known before? This section requires that you have searched the literature in the field, and know it history and significance. This is also where you give credit where<\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">credit is due to the researchers or previous students on whose work you have based your study.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto;\"><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto;\"><em style=\"cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">Discussion of the implications<span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">of the research is where you finally make the transition from the researcher (gatherer of data, runner of experiments, and interpreter) to the scientist. This part of the discussion section is where you comment on the topic you researched. You may have special insights into the meaning of your study, or you may have formed unique opinions about the results of the research, or you may have thoughts about the implications of your results for the particular situation you studied, or the discipline as a whole. This may be somewhat speculative, and should be interesting or relevant to the hypothesis posed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto;\"><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto;\"><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto;\"><u style=\"cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">Conclusions<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">Briefly summarize the most important conclusions of your paper.
