Abstract

The data found in a study are reflected through the results section in a scientific paper. Their presentation through text, tables and/or figures allows the reader to understand in a clear, attractive and precise way as found by the researchers. The results section is perhaps the most important element of an original article. The interpretation, discussion, recommendations and conclusions will depend on it. On some occasions the implications that have the results, will change or not decisions in a respective field of knowledge. Knowing the main considerations at the time of writing this segment will allow authors to communicate their findings more accurately. This scientific note summarizes the main recommendations and guidelines to write and design properly the results, tables and figures in a scientific article.
