When necessary, the results are supported with illustrations (tables, graphs, figures), which represent the source material or evidence in a concise form. It is important that the illustrated information does not duplicate what is already given in the text. The results presented in the article should be compared with previous works done in this field by both the author and other researchers. Such a comparison will additionally reveal the novelty of the work as well as give it more objectivity. The research results should be summarized briefly, but at the same time contain enough information to evaluate the conclusions drawn.
CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION
The conclusion contains a brief summary of the research results. Here, in a concise form, the article’s main ideas are revised. This section should compare the results obtained with the objective stated at the beginning of the work. The conclusion summarizes the results of reflecting on the topic, contains observations, generalizations, recommendations arising from the work. It emphasizes their practical significance and defines main directions for further research in this area.
