Abstract

This chapter deals with the preparation of the results section. In a study, the results section is where the collected data and its analysis are presented. Therefore, it is a key part of publishing. However, when there are limitations on space or word count it is important to carefully select only the most relevant and significant results that clearly summarize the main findings of the study. Furthermore, it is important to organize and present these results in a coherent, detailed, and easily understandable way for readers and to support the conclusions and interpretations of the study with sufficient information and data. The chapter describes what the aims of the results section are and explains its importance. It also details the essential components of this section and a guide to summarize and synthesize results. In this sense, it is recommended to find a balance between being succinct and the need to provide a complete and rigorous understanding of the results obtained. The chapter emphasizes familiarizing yourself with the instructions to the authors provided by each journal and the importance of being critical of results.
