I have learnt to write the discussion section through the wise words of my professors.
Discussions are free to choose a topic, but they must follow the theme of the paper. They can usually be divided into three types:
The first, interpreting the results of the study and describing how conclusions were drawn from the data;
Second, comparing the differences between the research results and those of previous researchers, and clarifying the reasons why one’s own research fills the gaps in relation to the gaps in the thesis; and
Finally, analysing the applied value of the research findings and their potential gaps, responding to the value argument section in the introduction.
Discuss the technical points of writing:
1. Summarise findings and implications: Summarise the findings and implications of the study, and describe the contribution of the study to the discipline, using inflection to emphasise the uniqueness of the study.
2. Highlight the significance: Begin by stating the key findings and emphasising how the research has advanced the field. The reader’s understanding of the topic is deepened through a series of rigorous logical derivations. 3.
3. Acknowledge shortcomings: Explain possible hypotheses and limitations of the experimental methodology, and the reasons behind them, so as to inspire further research in the field and stimulate speculation and innovative approaches.
4. Explore future developments: Reflect on possible questions that the research may raise and explore future directions in a hypothetical manner.
5. Avoid repeating findings: Start the discussion with a brief conclusion, but be sure to stop there so as not to minimise the importance of the results section. Do not restate the findings, but move directly to the implications and implications.
6. Don’t read too much into the findings: Evaluate the findings appropriately, focusing on the deeper meaning, but avoid speculation and interpretation based on the findings that go beyond the conclusions.
7. Do not introduce new data: Avoid introducing new data into the discussion, and quote only the full data presented in the results section.
8. Reduce the use of jargon: Although readers in the field may be familiar with such terminology, it is important to minimise the frequency of its use in order to enhance the readability of the paper and the impact of the research.
