Well-prepared tables and or figures must be of significant feature of this section, because they convey the major observations to readers. Any information provided in tables and figures should no longer be repeated in the text, but the text should focus on the importance of the principal findings of the study.

The results of the study are discussed to address the problem formulated, objectives and research hypotheses. 

    The discussion contains a discussion of the results of the research itself which is linked to the research objectives (hypothesis testing). The discussion (review/literature study) contains a brief discussion covering the problems studied. It is higly suggested that discussion be focused on the why and how of the research findings can happen and to extend to which the research findins can be applied to other relevant problems.

    • Only include references referred to in the manuscript and written alphabetically based on the first letter of the first author's name. If in book form, include the names of all authors, year, book title, edition, publisher, and place.
