How to
write??
By
Dr. Amr Mounir
Assistant professor of Ophthalmology,
Sohag University
Background
An article is potentially
the most efficient means
for disseminating your
research and
establishing a
publication record.
Background
The content and structure of your article
is determined by the topic you select and
the potential reading audience.
Your article will add to the academic
course in a particular field.
Research article include
(1) Abstract
(2) Introduction
(3) Methods
(4) Results / Results and Discussion
(5) Discussion / Conclusion
(6) Literature Cited
Discussion
Definition (In general)
Discussion
Consideration of a question
in open and usually
informal debate
A formal treatment of a
topic in speech or
writing
It is difficult part to write of the
research article
Discussion in a scientific
article
The discussion section is where you can analyze the
meaning, importance and relevance of your results.
It should focus on explaining and evaluating what you
found.
It shows how it relates to your literature review and
research questions.
Discussion should be
directed to one aim
Analysis of your
research results
Parts of Discussion
Discussion
Interpretation Implications Limitations Recommendations
Interpretation
Identifying correlations, patterns and relationships among the data
Discussing whether the results met your expectations or supported your
hypotheses
Compare your findings with previous researches
Explaine unexpected results and evaluating their significance
Considering possible alternative explanations and making an argument for
your position
Examples for interpretation:
- In line with the hypothesis
- Contrary to the hypothesized association
-The results contradict the claims of Smith (2007) that
-The results might suggest that X. However, based on the
findings of similar studies, a more plausible explanation isY.
Implications
The discussion should show how your
findings fit with existing knowledge,
what new results they contribute,
and what consequences they have for
theory or practice.
Examples for implications:
These results build on existing evidence of
The results do not fit with the theory that
The experiment provides a new insight into the relationship
between
These results should be taken into account when considering
how to
The data contributes a clearer understanding of-
Limitations
Even the best research has some
limitations and acknowledging these is
important to demonstrate your
credibility.
Limitations arent about listing your
errors,
but about providing an accurate picture
of what can and cannot be concluded
from your study.
Examples for limitations:
The usefulness of the results is limited by
The reliability of this data is impacted by
Due to the lack of data on X, the results cannot confirm
The methodological choices were limited by
It is beyond the scope of this study to
State your recommendations
Based on the discussion of your results, you
can make recommendations for practical
implementation or further research.
Sometimes the recommendations are
saved for the conclusion.
Examples:
Further research is needed to establish
Future studies should consider
The intro of discussion..
Summarize your key findings
- Start this chapter by mentioning your research problem and concisely
summarizing your major findings.
- Dont just repeat all the data you have already reported.
- Aim for a clear statement of the overall result that directly answers your
main research question.
Examples
The results indicate that
The study demonstrates a correlation between
This analysis supports the theory that
The data suggests that
Discussion
What is new without exaggerating.
Conclusion/summary, perspectives, implications.
Research limitations and need for future research.
Theoretical implications and possible practical
applications.
Interpret your results
in light of
other published results
How to Cite Sources in the Discussion
Section
It is important to cite sources in the discussion section of your
paper as evidence of the claims you are making.
There are ways of citing sources in the text so that the reader
can find the full reference in the literature cited section at the
end of the paper, yet the flow of the reading is not badly
interrupted.
Mistakes you should avoid..
Dont introduce new results
 you should only discuss the data that you have
already reported in the results chapter.
Dont make inflated claims
 avoid overinterpretation and speculation that isnt
supported by your data.
Dont undermine your research
 the discussion of limitations should aim to
strengthen your credibility, not emphasize
weaknesses or failures.
