对于SCI论文而言,实验结果部分是重中之重,期刊编辑和审稿人往往会仔细审查这一部分,并以此来判断作者学术贡献的领域和大小,然后决定文章是否适合在此期刊发表。今天我们来说说results部分的常用句式。
(1) 对实验或观察结果的表达要高度概括和提炼,不能简单地将实验记录数据或观察事实堆积到论文中,尤其是要突出有科学意义和具代表性的数据,而不是没完没了地重复一般性数据。
(2) 数据表达可采用文字与图表相结合的形式。如果只有一个或很少的测定结果,在正文中用文字描述即可;如果数据较多,可采用图表形式来完整、详细的表述,文字部分则用来指出图表中资料的重要特性或趋势。切忌在文字中简单地重复图表中的数据,而忽略叙述其趋势、意义以及相关推论。
(3) 适当解释原始数据,以帮助读者的理解。如果论文中还包括独立的'讨论'章节,应将对于研究结果的详细讨论留到该部分,但'结果'中应该提及必要的解释,以便让读者能清楚地了解作者此次研究结果意义或重要性。研究结果意义或重要性写法可参考citexs赛特新思结构化写作,网址:https://www.citexs.com/Writing
(4) 文字表达应准确、简洁、清楚。避免使用冗长的词汇或句子来介绍或解释图表。为简洁、清楚起见,不要把图表的序号作为段落的主题句,应在句子中指出图表所揭示的结论,并把图表的序号放入括号中。
例如'Figure 1 shows the relationship between A and B'不如'A was Significantly higher than B at all time points hecked (Figure 1)'.
又如,'It is clearly shown in Table 1 that nocillin inhibited the growth of N. gonorrhoeae.'不如'Nocillin inhibited the growth of N. gonorrhoeae (Table 1).'
1.xxx experiment was performed to identify/demonstrate xxx.
2.Decreased mRNA/protein levels of xxx were observed in xxx
3.mRNA analysis of xxx, showed significant increases of xxx.
4.To explore the function of xxx, we did xxx.
5.RT-PCR analysis showed a higher expression level of xxx mRNA in xxx than in xxx.
6.xxx treatment affected something, indicating the role for xxx.
7.Drug A application increased xxx
8.This finding was consistent with the previous finding that xxx.
9.our data demonstrated that xxx plays a role in xxx
10.Ligation and puncture in mice resulted in xxx.
11.The number of cells surrounding the xxx was increased.
比如为了表达一些分子或者蛋白水平的改变,最常用的词就是increase和decrease,不过increase和decrease最好不要出现在同一句子中。那么如何表达“xxx表达的增加因为某种处理而下降”呢,这时候可以恰当使用高级词汇:
1.The increase in the expression of xxx was abrogated upon xxx treatment.
2.The elevation in the expression of xxx was decreased upon xxx treatment.
为了让我们的结果更容易被理解,最好每一小段文字的结尾都有一句总结的文字,顺便还可以解释一下实验结果说明了什么:
1.Therefore, the goal of this study is to demonstrate xxx.
2.Thus, xxx signaling pathway could be a novel target for the treatment of xxx
3.These results suggest that xxx mediates xxx and the subsequent downstream signaling events.
4.Taken together, our data indicate that xxx.
除了描述结果和总结结果,在结果部分还需要用一些承上启下的语句,其目的就是把各个部分的结果连接起来,让整个结果部分变成一个连贯的整体,就好像在讲一个完整的故事一样,这样才方便读者阅读理解。
