When writing academic papers, many international students often struggle when dealing with the results section.
As we all know, this section takes up a large proportion of the total score, the length of the article is longer, and it is the core of the whole paper.
I was once troubled by results writing, but after contacting and accumulating a large amount of literature and practice in thesis writing, I gradually figured out a set of effective writing strategies – the results section actually has a certain layout structure and a fixed pattern to follow.
Here, I would like to provide you with a detailed framework and template sentence pattern for writing results, hoping that it can help you get twice the result with half the effort, and quickly master the secret of high scores in the dissertation.
Results writing framework:
Review of research objectives
Analysis of data results
Detailed description of the sample data, including sample collection method, sample size and descriptive statistics;
The analysis is based on graphical data with subheadings according to the branch of the study; the aim is to present the graphical data, interpret the indicators, assess whether the hypothesis is supported, explain the findings in detail, and elaborate on the scope of their application and implications.
Summarising
Summarise the results, detail the limitations, analyse the causes and impacts, and explore ways to improve.
Writing Recommendations:
Only analyse data that is relevant and significant to the topic of the research;
If there are unexpected findings, it is important to record them and analyse them in depth, as they are expected to be the highlight of the paper;
Don’t be discouraged by unexpected results, as deeper insights into the reasons for them will also be recognised by your tutor.
