Proposal to omit Discussion section entirely #12

Closed aphearin closed 8 years ago

aphearin commented 8 years ago

@andrew-zentner and @vdbosch69 - I have a bold proposal. Let's not even have a discussion section. The results are so straightforward that I don't see a lot of room for jazz. Plus, as @vdbosch69 and I discussed yesterday, the Intro and Discussion in my last paper are extremely thorough (and so long!), that much of what we'd discuss would be redundant.

vdbosch69 commented 8 years ago

We don't need a thorough discussion section, but we need a summary section, briefly summarizing our results. We can weave any `discussion' (i.e., implications of our results) into that summary section.

aphearin commented 8 years ago

Agreed on all counts. Current version of master has a bullet-point summary that I figured we could add to for this purpose.

andrew-zentner commented 8 years ago

So, I just went through the paper. I think that adding a final paragraph to our conclusion section should suffice. I agree that our results are simple and don't need to be discussed ad nauseum in a discussion section. I just need to think of what to add in this section.

Ok, great. I'll go ahead and close this then, since there is no danger that you'll forget to add more text to the conclusions section.
