=====SCRIPT HIGHLIGHTS=====
What is the Results section, and what does the Results section do?
The Results section of a scientific research paper represents the core findings of a study. It presents these findings in a logical sequence without bias or interpretation from the author. The Results section breaks your data into sentences directly linking them to your research question.
What is included in the Results section?
The Results section should describe the findings of your study. The Results section does not need much else. The findings include:Data presented in tables, charts, graphs, and figures, data analysis, data corresponding to the research questions, and secondary findings.
What is not included in the Results section?
To keep the Results section clear for readers, avoid including these:
Avoid including explanations and interpretations of the data
Avoid including secondary results that do not contribute to answering the research question.
Here are some organization tips to help you clearly present your findings:
Restate one of your research questions, then present the data that addresses that research question. Do this for all of your research questions.
Group similar data together. For example, start with the positive results, then the neutral results, then the negative results. Group data in chronological order. For example: start with data from the 80s, then 90s, then the 2000s.
How to use charts in your Results section
When you decide to include a chart or graph to illustrate data, create them with your research question in-mind. Captioning your tables helps readers understand the data you’re presenting. Remember that while figures clarify and enhance the text, they cannot replace it.
6 steps for writing a great Results section:
Step 1: Read your target journal’s guidelines for authors
Step 2: Outline your Results section
Step 3: Design your charts
Step 4: Draft your Results section
Step 5: Edit and revise your Results
Step 6: Hire a professional editor

Thanks
Thank you for this eye-opener video. I needed it at this stage. Keep it up
I am so glad our video helped! Good luck writing :)
Wow, thank you for such amounts of tips!
There is difference b/w discussion and conclusion
1. Discuss includes findings with numerical explanation and with the support of previous research. But conclusion is based only overall findings on the basis of all finding. Finally conclusion is final summary of results
This video is really useful. When I started writing my paper I thought the body of the paper would be the hardest and that I could write my results and conclusion in no time, but I was wrong about that! Presenting key findings in a concise way is actually quite hard. This video gives really practical steps to follow for a good results section.
what do you mean by the body of the paper?
This has been a very useful video. Not sure if I followed everything though. I would like to ask if by anychance can you help me and take a look with my research paper?
You can find our tutoring services at www.uni-edit.net/lessons. Thanks!
How does the results section differ from the conclusion section? Can I include the results in the conclusion section? Why or why not? What kinds of studies don't have charts and tables in the results and why?
Fantastic questions Daniel. The Results section presents data. The Discussion section provides explanations and interpretations. The Conclusion is simply a report about what you learned based on whether the results agree or disagree with your hypothesis. It can be appropriate to reference some of your data in your results in order to make your conclusion clear, but it is not necessary.
Some qualitative studies, such as surveys or interviews, may not need to present charts and tables in their results section. This depends on the study and the type of information or data that was collected.
@@UniversityEnglishHub Thanks for clear and concise answer.
This is such useful advice, thank you! As an academic editor, I can confirm that shorter, simpler sentences are definitely better than long, complicated ones. One question: when you have a lot of data in a table, do you recommend describing all of it in the text of the results section as well?
Awesome question Sally. If you have a lot of data in a table you do not need to reference all of that data in the text as well. You can write about the most important data and leave the rest in the table.
@@UniversityEnglishHub Thank you!
There r only few steps which r necessary
1. Your finding in connection to your objective and hypothesis
2. Positive and negative support from past studies.
3. Logical discussion
thank you sir
Thanku sir
