Reporting results：
每一篇实验研究性文章的结果部分，都会有不同的Results，也会有不同的Figures，每一个figure里面又会有不同的picture。本文就将对Result的常用句式进行总结。
首先是英文时态：结果部分的写作是 SCI论文写作的第一步，单从英文写作的角度讲这部分很容易写，我们要做的只是要去描述实验结果，这一部分只需要一种时态——过去时。
在结果描述的过程中，我们还需要分段总结实验结果，使每段内容的含义更好的被理解，这些总结的语句一般用一般现在时。
结果部分还需要一些承上启下的连接语句，或者补充 introduction中没讲完全的内容时，其时态需要单独分析。
此外，将常用句式主要分为9个部分：
一.做这个result的最初目的，为什么要做这个实验？
二.对result中的图表进行描述和解释
三.强调某一结果的重要性
四.开始讨论一个阳性的结果
五.开始讨论一个阴性的结果
六.报告阳性or阴性的相互作用
七.强调这个发现是一个有趣的、令人惊讶的结果
八.过渡语句
九.对Result进行分段总结
The standard approach to this section of a research article or dissertation is to present and describe the results in a systematic and detailed way.
When reporting qualitative results, the researcher will highlight and comment on the themes that emerge from the analysis. These comments will often be illustrated with excerpts from the raw data. In text based studies, this may comprise quotations from primary sources. 即首先要点明这个这一部分的Result的主题，得到了一个什么样的结论，再用一些原始数据或者引用参考的数据来支持这一结果。
In quantitative studies, the results section is likely to consist of tables and figures, and writers comment on the significant data shown in these. This often takes the form of the location or summary statement, which identifies the table or figure and indicates its content, and a highlighting statement or statements, which point out and describe the relevant or significant data. Result部分里面应该包含图片和表格，文中应该对这一部分的数据进行解释。对每一个图表都应该有其对应的称述或解释，并且文字要有指向性，指向某一个具体的小picture。
All figures and tables should be numbered and given a title. 每个图表都需要编号，并且有一个title。
More elaborate commentary on the results is normally restricted to the Discussion section. In research articles, however, authors may comment extensively on their results as they are presented, and it is not uncommon for the Results section to be combined with the Discussion section under the heading: Results and Discussion.有些文章的result里只是对结果进行描述，但是具体的讨论会放到一个专门的Discussion部分；而有些文章会将Result和Discussion放在一起。这个要具体对待。
