  • Present and illustrate your findings objectively and concisely, if appropriate, with figures/ tables. In the main text, describe each of your results by a particular observation.
  • Provide an interpretation of your results and make comparisons with other studies. The significance of findings should be clearly described. If your results differ from your expectations, explain why that may have happened. If your results agree, then describe the theory that the evidence supported. The main conclusions of the experimental work should be presented. The contribution of the work to the scientific research and its economic implications should be emphasized.

For theoretical research, there may be different titles, as long as they are considered appropriate within the text. However, Introduction and Conclusion parts are strongly recomended.
