Study Notes
Writing the Result Section of an IMRaD Paper
- The result section presents observed data from a study.
- It displays the raw findings, without analysis.
- Qualitative studies report "findings," while quantitative studies report "results."
- Data presentation formats include textual descriptions, tables, and graphs.
- Tables should be self-explanatory and organized in a standardized way, enabling easy comprehension of relationships.
- Tables are numbered sequentially using Arabic numerals.
- The title of each table should be descriptive and written in bold capital letters.
- A short introductory paragraph for the results section is useful, as it sets the stage for the subsequent content.
- The introductory paragraph concisely explains what follows.
- Use simple past tense in the verb descriptions.
- The table body contains numeric or textual data, arranged from top to bottom or left to right.
- Table notes, or descriptions clarify details of the table, concise and comprehensive.
- Table titles are positioned centrally and are descriptive.
