ABSTRACT
The results or findings are the most substantive part of conducting research. This chapter outlines how research results and interpretation of those results are reported in different disciplines and types of papers and presentations. It provides prompts for freewriting or otherwise thinking about the implications of data. While a full exploration of qualitative and quantitative data analysis is beyond the scope of this text, this chapter includes fundamental information about the terms and techniques involved in analyzing different types of information. It discusses the importance of triangulating results, identifying overarching themes, and aligning the discussion of research results with the research question and the review of the literature. The chapter concludes with a reminder about acknowledging any limitations of the research that significantly affect the results.
