In the discussion, it is the most important section of your article. Here, you get the chance to sell your data. Make the discussion corresponding to the results, but do not reiterate the results. Often should begin with a brief summary of the main scientific findings (not experimental results). The discussion section is intended to interpret the findings of the study in accordance with the theories used and not merely describe the finding. The discussion must be enriched by referring to the results of previous studies that have been published in scientific journals.

The following components should be covered in the discussion: How do your results relate to the original question or objectives outlined in the Introduction section (what)? Do you provide interpretation scientifically for each of your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results consistent with what other investigators have reported (what else)?

Reference in the manuscript are written in brackets. Here are the examples for one author, e.g., (Retnowati, 2018), and two authors, e.g., (Nurgiyantoro & Efendi, 2017). If there are three to five authors, all authors are written in the first mention, e.g., (Retnowati, Fathoni, & Chen, 2018) and the next mention is written as (Retnowati et al., 2018). The authors of more than three people were only written first followed by et al., For example (Janssen et al. ’2010); Reference writing can also be written with a name outside the brackets, e.g., Nurgiyantoro (2017) in accordance with the writing style. If the statement referred to is a direct quote or a specific fact, page number/s must be included, e.g., (Nurgiyantoro & Efendi, 2017: 144) or if substances are taken from several pages, e.g., (Nurgiyantoro & Efendi, 2017: 144-146).

Indirect citations are more recommended than direct ones. Direct quotations of fewer than 40 words should be incorporated into the text of the paragraph with quotation marks. If the quotation comprises 40 or more words, display it in a freestanding block of typewritten lines and omit quotation marks. Start the quotation on a new line, indented 1/2 inch from the left margin, without quotation marks, and include the name, year, and pages in brackets (name, year: pages).

 

6.8. Conclusion/ Closing Remarks

A conclusion should answer the objectives of the research. It tells how your work advances the field from the present state of knowledge. Without a clear conclusion, reviewers and readers will find it difficult to judge the work, and whether or not it merits publication in the journal. Do not repeat the Abstract, or just list experimental results. Provide a clear scientific justification for your work, and indicate possible applications and extensions. You should also suggest future experiments and/or point out those that are underway.
