Issues and insights plan problem solving, 3. Formulation of research objectives (and expectations about the benefits of research results)

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The result and discussion must be written in the same part. They should be presented continuously, from the main result to the supporting results, and equipped with a discussion.
