Exploring techniques of presenting results in scientific research: A critical review

Okemwa, Joshua and Oyile, Paul Oduor and Ikoha, Anselemo Peters (2025) Exploring techniques of presenting results in scientific research: A critical review. World Journal of Advanced Engineering Technology and Sciences, 15 (3). pp. 2320-2324. ISSN 2582-8266

Presenting research findings clearly and accurately is essential in scientific communication, as it bridges data analysis and interpretation. However, many researchers, especially early-career scholars, struggle with organizing and visualizing results in a way that enhances comprehension and transparency. This paper aims to critically review existing literature on techniques used to present analyzed data in scientific research. A qualitative synthesis approach was adopted, involving the review of academic writing guides, peer-reviewed journal articles, and exemplary studies across various disciplines. The findings indicate that while tools such as text, tables, figures, and illustrations are widely recommended, inconsistencies and misuse remain prevalent, leading to reduced clarity and credibility in research output. The review concludes that adherence to standardized presentation protocols significantly improves the readability, reliability, and interpretability of scientific papers. It recommends targeted training and institutional guidelines to support researchers in mastering best practices for results presentation.
