ABSTRACT
The purpose of your Discussion is to provide a summary of each of your results and to show the reader how these results led you to the conclusion that corresponds to the title of your paper. The reader should be able to follow each step in your reasoning and, referring to your results as you summarize them, she should find your Discussion so persuasive that she inevitably reaches the same conclusions as you do. As I noted earlier, scientific truths are rare and, even if you are able to convince the reader that your conclusions are valid, you should be aware that your interpretation of your results might not stand the test of time. It is for this reason that your results must be absolutely reproducible.
