# Result Section:
This should describe what you have found. The interpretation and explanation should be left for discussion section.
# Discussion section
This section should interpret the findings and discuss implication of result section. While it can be helpful to briefly remind your reader of the results, don’t repeat your data in detail.
# Each paragraph deals with a specific topic. Ending a paragraph tells your reader that this topic is over and you are now moving onto a new one. There are no rules on length – a paragraph should be as long as it takes to introduce, discuss, and conclude a specific topic.
# Introduce the topic of your paragraph in the first sentence (this is called the topic sentence). For example:
Raf kinases have been implicated in tumour metastasis
tells the reader that this paragraph will explain how Raf kinases influence metastasis.
Expand on the topic in the next few sentences. For example, you may talk about how Raf kinases promote tumour cell proliferation and migration. Once your topic is fully developed, finish the paragraph by drawing your conclusion:
Mutations in Raf kinase genes promote metastasis by increasing tumour cell proliferation and migration.
# Link your paragraphs with transitions to improve the flow of your text. Transitions are sentences that tell the reader what is coming next. For example:
These findings suggest that Raf kinases are promising targets for cancer therapy
is a good transition to a paragraph about anticancer drugs that target Raf kinases. Use transition words to link your ideas, but take care not to overuse your favorites as repetition can annoy your reader.
# Avoid long, wordy phrases when a single word will do (e.g. because instead of due to the fact that).
# Use the active voice. It tends to be easier to read than the passive voice (e.g. exercise reduces stress instead of stress is reduced by exercise).
# Cut any redundant information, such as unnecessary adjectives (e.g. past history) and adverbs (e.g. completely eliminate).
# Don’t turn verbs into nouns (e.g. coffee consumption correlated positively with insomnia is better than there was a positive correlation between coffee consumption and insomnia).
