I. Key elements of the Results chapter
The main content contains the presentation of the results of all the studies and analyses described in the Materials and Methods section we mentioned earlier. These results not only answer the salient questions raised in the INTRODUCTION section, but also help the reader to construct a discussion session for subsequent interpretation and evaluation, so as to judge whether or not our hypotheses are adequately supported.
Second, the basic process of writing Results
Although each study has its own peculiarities, the following basic steps are particularly important for creating successful RESULTS chapters:
01Refer to the guidelines of journals or publishers in your field or ask for the opinions of other authors who have successfully published papers (especially those that are similar to your research topic, methodology, or results).
02 Organise the research results and set the structure:
1. identify the key points and sub-points of the research results;
2. recommend using subheadings to break down each subsection;
3. When structuring the Result section, you can either configure the results in the order of the research questions and hypotheses, or in the order of the Methods section.
03 Create graphs and charts to display and parse the research data;
04 Drafting the Results section: In the process of writing, clearly state the objective and accurately convey the data information centred on the objective, and try to avoid long, ambiguous sentences; phrases and sentences are often more effective.
In the Results section, write clear, well-organised and engaging paragraphs, for example, including questions, experimental methods, results and small findings that can answer the questions (Answer), which will make your article more persuasive.
Result common vocabulary and its diversity
When you need to show that there is a significant difference in the comparison between groups, you can use the following statements:
1. ‘… is higher/lower/increase/decrease…’. invby/with or after the administration of A compared with B’
2. ‘Significantly increased/decreased…’ Significantly increased/decreased. was observed in A compared with B’.
3. ‘Significant differences in… were observed/witnessed between A and B’. were observed/witnessed between A and B’; 4. ‘Enhanced/Decreased… was observed in A compared with B’.
4. “Enhanced/D[ecreased]… in response to AB was observed”; 5.
5.’A showedsignificant better effecton…than B’;
6. ‘A significantly decreased/increased/improved…’
On the other hand, when it is necessary to point out the existence of a certain trend between different groups, consider using the following statements:
1. ‘A similarity trend was noticed in…’ ;
2. “In addition, A compared to C trended towards…”
3.”. A similarity trend was noticed in…” ; 2. . on A compared with B”; .
4. “An inclination towards higherlower… was noticed in…”. was noticed in…”
Finally, when it is necessary to emphasise that there is no significant difference in the results between the groups, the following similar phrases can be used:
1. “AB’s/A and B) effects on… The effects of were not revealed in the indicated experiments”; and
2. “AB’s (A and B) administered to … Did not produce any effect”.
3. “No significant change in… between A and B”; “No significant change in… between A and B”. No significant change”.
4. “There was no significant difference in… No significant difference in …”.
5. “Between A and B… No change has occurred”.
6.”… By … treatment there will be no significant change.
