Step 6: Developing a coherent essay
The Methods section describes what field and analytical approaches you used to conduct the study and analyse the data. Be as specific as you can here.
The Results will be the main body of your paper and should be the nuts and bolts of what you found. Use subheadings to distinguish the various topics you discuss.
The Discussion section is where you interpret your results and compare them with
What others have found. This draws appropriate conclusions from your results and should also refer back to your objectives.
At the end of the Discussion, you should draw some conclusions in which you state what you want the reader to take away from your study. This is usually a broad, interpretative statement of what the paper has shown.
