Results Guidelines The results section should clearly present the findings of the study, describe how the data were processed to arrive at these findings, and include supporting information such as tables, graphs, charts, diagrams, or images. Key Elements:
Formatting Specifications:
Example Structure: Paragraph 1 - Statement of Findings: The analysis revealed a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in regions with high adoption rates of renewable energy. Specifically, regions that invested heavily in solar and wind technologies saw an average decrease in emissions by 25% over the past decade. Additionally, the study found that renewable energy investments were correlated with improved air quality and public health outcomes. Paragraph 2 - Data Processing: Quantitative data were processed using regression analysis to determine the relationship between renewable energy adoption and emission levels. The dataset included annual emission figures, energy consumption rates, and renewable energy investments for each region. The regression model accounted for potential confounding variables such as economic growth and industrial activities. The qualitative data from interviews were coded and analyzed to identify recurring themes and insights related to the benefits and challenges of renewable energy adoption. Paragraph 3 - Supporting Information: The findings are supported by several tables and charts. Table 1 shows the annual reduction in emissions for regions with varying levels of renewable energy investment. Figure 1 presents a bar chart comparing the average emission reductions across different regions. Additionally, Figure 2 includes a line graph depicting the trend of emission reductions over time in relation to renewable energy adoption rates. These visual aids provide a clear and concise illustration of the study's key findings. Table 1: Annual Emission Reductions
Figure 1: Average Emission Reductions Figure 2: Emission Reductions Over Time Discussion Guidelines The discussion section should interpret and analyze the findings, comparing them with existing research, and highlight their scientific implications, novelty, and limitations. Key Elements:

Example Structure: Paragraph 1 - Statement of Main Findings: This study demonstrates that regions with high adoption rates of renewable energy technologies, specifically solar and wind, experience significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and improvements in air quality. The quantitative analysis showed a 25% average decrease in emissions over the past decade in these regions. Paragraph 2 - Analysis and Interpretation: The findings support the theory that renewable energy adoption contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering emissions. This aligns with the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis, which suggests that environmental degradation decreases as economic development reaches a certain level of maturity. The qualitative insights from stakeholder interviews further corroborate this by highlighting the perceived benefits of renewable energy in improving public health and reducing pollution. Paragraph 3 - Novelty of Findings: Compared to previous studies, such as Smith et al. (2020) and Johnson (2019), which primarily focused on short-term impacts, this research provides a comprehensive long-term analysis. The unique contribution of this study lies in its integrated approach, combining both quantitative and qualitative data, and its focus on the long-term sustainability of renewable energy technologies in urban and rural settings. Paragraph 4 - Scientific Implications: The implications of these findings are significant for policymakers and stakeholders. They provide evidence-based support for increased investments in renewable energy infrastructure. Additionally, the results suggest that policy interventions promoting renewable energy can have substantial environmental and public health benefits, underscoring the importance of integrating renewable energy strategies into national and regional development plans. Paragraph 5 - Limitations: Despite the robust findings, this study has several limitations. The reliance on secondary data for quantitative analysis may introduce biases or inaccuracies inherent in the original sources. Furthermore, the qualitative data, while rich in detail, are limited to the perspectives of a specific group of stakeholders, which may not be representative of the broader population. Future research should aim to include a more diverse range of participants and consider additional variables such as technological advancements and economic fluctuations that may influence renewable energy adoption and its impacts. |

Example Annotated Bibliography Entry: Islam views and teaches that the glory of morality is more important than the glory of science (Wahid, 2019). Character is the foundation of the soul and personality of the individual and is the main basis in the development of education. The purpose of national education is to become a generation that is intellectually intelligent and has a noble character (Naro et al., 2021). However, basically, the reality is not appropriate, the affective aspect of learning is seen to be often ignored. Achievement in the cognitive aspect is still often used as a measure of success in learning. Of course, this can result in the formation of individuals who are intellectually good but have bad characters. In the end, everyone wants a generation that not only has intellectual abilities but also has a noble character who always puts forward the mission of goodness and denies all forms of evil (Arifuddin & Karim, 2021).
