Abstract
Introduction. The function of the Research Article Results section is to present the data obtained during the research in a systematic, concise, and visualized format. Commenting and discussing the information presented impedes objective perception and may confuse the reader.
The purpose is to present key strategies for writing the Research Article Results section that will help authors deliver their research results properly and avoid common mistakes when writing this section of a research article.
Section construction strategies. Based on the analysis of models for structuring the Research Article Results section from different fields, an efficient pattern of constructing a section is proposed and illustrated using the example from journals on food processing and health-saving technologies. Recommendations for data visualization and their relevant description in the body of the section are given.
Conclusion. The outcomes of this editorial and proposed guidelines for constructing the Results section, are intended to help authors efficiently present the data collected during the study (logically, concisely, transparently, visualized and objectively). Such an approach not only makes it possible to increase the impact of the article on the readership, but also contributes to its visibility in research databases, enhances its significance in the context of global scientific communication.
