In Austria, animal protocol applications must be submitted to either the federal government for universities and research institutes or local state authorities for companies and associations. Required documents include the application for project approval, project description, and non-technical summary, with additional forms for genetically modified animals.
In the Results section, describe each figure and panel in detail using past tense and active voice, ensuring you present results in a logical order. Be precise about methods, comparisons, and statistical validations, and avoid discussing the data—save interpretations for the Discussion section. Conclude with a summary of your overall findings.
In the discussion section, place your study’s results in context with existing literature, comparing and contrasting findings. Use primary literature for citations, avoid excessive use of review articles, and conclude with a concise summary of your study’s impact and future implications.
