 This section is the most important part of your paper because its function is to give specific answers to the aims that you stated in the introduction. After the methods, this should be the easiest section to write. You should use an interesting sequence of text, tables, and figures to answer the study questions and to tell the story without diversions.  It is essential to know your audience and make it clear to them in their own language how your work is an important extension of what has gone before. In practice, editors usually  prefer to publish new findings. Although consistency of evidence is critical for ascertaining causation,  most editors are not keen to publish results that are already thought of as established knowledge. It is important to convince the journal editor, your reviewers, and your readers that your study extends knowledge rather than merely confirms what we already know.
