Dr. Jolly has discussed the different types of research writing, the attributes of a good manuscript, and the general structure of research paper writing such as Abstract, Keywords or Index words, Introduction, Literature Review, Methods and Experimental, Results and Discussion Section. She has explained the distinction between the results and discussion sections in detail, using examples.
