Table 4.

Guiding structure for project-case report based results sections

Results
Section and order of appearance	Description
1. Explicate: articulate what the applied approach or methodology was
2. Validate: critically evaluate how effective the chosen approach really was. What was the desired outcome and to what extent was it achieved?	Ideally, there is a visual presentation of evidence leading to the findings in a qualitative fashion (e.g. a table or figure providing a synthesized insight in the lessons learned/information about the implementation), and there is transparency of the collected evidence provided in the presentation of the results
3. Understand: try to explain the approach’s effectiveness, based on the results achieved and from the perspective of relevant scientific theory. What appeared to be the working mechanisms in the approach?
4. Generalize: discuss in what situations the approach could or could not be effective. How generalizable is the approach?
