  1. Writing Results and Discussion

  2. Results We report data in order to justify our conclusions. Since you'll be talking about your own interpretation of the results in the discussion section, you need to be sure that the information reported in the results section justifies your future claims.

  3. Be sure to mention all relevant information Don't omit the findings if they failed to support your predictions.

  4. Do not include the raw data in the results section. You should include summary tables or graphs. Remember, you are summarizing the results, not reporting them in full detail

  5. In many cases, the easiest way to accomplish this is to first create your tables and figures and then organize them in a logical way. Next, write the summary text to support your illustrative materials.

  6. Do not include tables and figures if you are not going to talk about them in the body text of your discussion section.

  7. Always assume that your readers have a solid understanding of analysis strategies There's no need to explain what a content analysis is or how to design a protocol

  8. The results section should be written in the past tense.

  9. Focus on being concise and objective You will have the opportunity to give your own interpretations and opinions of the results in the discussion section

  10. Do not present the same data twice in your illustrative materials If you have already presented some data in a table, do not present it again in a graph

  11. Don't ignore negative results Just because a result failed to solve your problem, it does not mean it is not important Results that do not solve your problem can be just as informative as results that do

  12. Discusssion Now is your opportunity to give your own interpretations of the results! How will you use the information? This section is your opportunity to talk about the ‘whys’ and ‘what nows’
