ABSTRACT

The easiest way to write the results is simply to have the questions or hypotheses that we posed at the end of the introduction and have them as subheadings for our results section. Once we have these subheadings, we simply assemble all of the results with respect to that hypothesis. The results section often includes a lot of statistical testing, resulting in lots of numbers inside brackets within the text. This is all expected and fine, but consider consolidating multiple iterations into a table. When describing the relationship between two variables, make sure that we state the direction of the effect. Most journals will allow us to have as many tables or graphs as we need to give our results. Some studies have a set of descriptive results that, by convention, are placed without a section header at the start of the results.
