2- Method of entrance of researcher to the natural field of study ,full explanation about methods and stages of data gathering or producing, methods and criteria for saturating or ending of the data gathering, explaining the methods of determining validity;accuracy,credibility,confirmability,transferability,dependability and moral considerations
3 - Data management methods, software(if used) ,data analysis methods and its agreement with the study method.
Results: The other important section which fully reflects the achievements of the study ,is the information presented in the result part. Since the results type of qualitative and quantitative studies are different, writing method of these two are explained separately.
a: Results of quantitative studies:
1-Examining the size and distribution of demographic and variables(uniformity of methods of distribution variables in groups)
2 - Main findings of the study is presented clearly and adequately So that readers can easily judge about whether study achieves its goal.
3 - Statistical data like the number / percentage /mean and Standard Deviation mentioned without interpretation. Statistical tests and their appropriateness and level of meaningfulness mentioned.
4- Data and findings that is presented in tables and graphs should not be repeated in text and as shortly as possible. Their sizes should not bigger than 10.15 cm and they need footnotes.
