Materials and Methods

This section should describe clearly and in detail the tools, materials, procedures, and statistical methods used. The procedures described should contain sufficient information to allow the study to be successfully replicated.

Results and Discussion

Results and discussion should be presented together and discuss the research findings clearly. Research results may be presented in narrative form, tables, or figures. The use of graphs should be minimized if the information can be adequately explained in narrative form. Photographs may be included to clarify the research results.

Graphs may be presented in the form of line graphs, pie charts, or scatter plots. Line graphs are used to show changes or trends in data over the observation period. Pie charts are used to illustrate the composition or proportion of a component in percentage form. Scatter plots are used to show the relationship or correlation between two research variables. All graphs must be provided with numbers, titles, and clear axis labels including their units.
