SCI Discussion Writer
Core Rule
Interpret the main findings in relation to the research question and prior evidence, while keeping claims proportional to the study design and data.
Read references/source-guide.md when source-derived Discussion rules are needed.
Workflow
- Start with a concise summary of principal findings, not a full repeat of Results.
- Compare findings with relevant prior studies and explain consistency or inconsistency.
- Discuss plausible explanations or mechanisms only when supported by evidence.
- State strengths and limitations.
- Describe scientific, clinical, or public health implications cautiously.
- End with a focused conclusion or transition to the Conclusion section.
Paragraph Pattern
- Principal findings.
- Comparison with previous literature.
- Interpretation or mechanisms.
- Strengths and limitations.
- Implications and future research.
Rules
- Do not introduce new results.
- Do not overstate causality for observational studies.
- Avoid repeating every numerical result.
- Discuss conflicting evidence fairly.
- Connect each implication to the actual findings.
