Principles of Writing the Methods Section Use the past tense in the Methods section. Describe the steps of the study in the order in which they were done (chronological order) whenever possible. However chronological order does not work well for your specific study, describe the procedure in order from most important to least important. 3. If you use subheads(小标题） in the Methods section ( for example, Group 1, Group 2), you should use those same subheads in the Results section.

Use few, if any references in the Results section Try to avoid sentences that use the words “compared with” instead of stating the comparison clearly. X was significantly increased compared with Y. X was significantly higher than Y. Tables and Illustrations Tables and illustrat
