The results obtained are based on the method used. Don't present the same data in tables and graphs. There are no references in the results section. All data presented in the results must be stated in a clear, concise table, picture or graph. The discussion contains a review of research results by comparing the data reported today with previous results. Highlight similarities, as well as differences, and the uniqueness of your findings. Explain why the results are like that.

Conclusion

Conclusions are presented briefly, but reflect the results of the research obtained.

Acknowledgements

Acknowledgements include acknowledgements to donors who provided research assistance.

References

Bibliography lists all the libraries used. Bibliography is written in alphabetical order from the first author's last name. Libraries with the same name of the author (group of authors) are sorted chronologically. If there is more than one library written by the same author (group of authors) in the same year, then the letters 'a', 'b', and so on are added after the year.
