Results and Discussion <\/strong> OR<\/p>\n\n\n\n Results tend to be the least troublesome in terms of writing as this is where you present your data.

Summarize it in a way that the reader will not need to look at the figure in order to get the key points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trick #2: <\/strong>Use the formulaic linguistic structures to refer the reader to the figure. There is no need to be creative. “As shown in Figure 1” or “Figure 1 shows” are perfectly satisfactory to use throughout your paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The discussion is where many scientific writers have the most problem.

You need to help us see what’s important too. It’s very useful to have an outsider read your ‘discussion’ to see if it is actually noticeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You don’t need to discuss at length; sometimes one sentence is enough.
