4. The hypothesis development (if using a quantitative method) should be based on a theoretical review and expressed in a one-tailed direction (if possible).

The data presented should be processed (not raw data) and be presented in the form of a table or figure with a supportive description. A table, chart, or figure should explain the analyses. The results should be able to answer the research questions or hypotheses.

Discussion
