Results (m4)

• Link all results (and their restrictions) to the method used to generate them (and their restrictions) by a link labelled as `Depends on'.
• If available, describe intermediary results copied or extracted from their original module (Methods or Interpretation) into this module.
• Mention for all results, whenever applicable, the physical qualities to be determined, measured or calculated (e.g. differential cross sections), the system, (e.g. alkali atoms, halogen molecules and their ions) and the energy range (e.g. 13-85 eV), the type of reaction that is studied (e.g. chemi-ionisation) and the units or dimensions (e.g. $I(\theta)\sin\theta$ in arbitrary units vs. in eV x degree}.

Raw data (m4a)  
If information is lost in the treatment of the raw data:

• List the raw data, the output from the measurements or calculations, and give their restrictions.

The editorial board can specify further guidelines for what can constitute the raw data, depending on the field and on the equipment normally used in that field.

• If the module Treated results is a complex module, create a complex module Raw data representing the raw data in constituent modules corresponding to the constituent modules with the treated results based on these raw data.

Treated results (m4b)  

• Report the treated results in clear units and dimensions, preferably SI units. For large amounts of results, complement a clear graphical or audio-visual presentation with a manipulable storage format. In this domain, the treated results generally include cross sections of the scattering reaction under investigation, plotted against the angle. These are represented graphically and the variables are multiplied with some function for the sake of clarity

The editorial board can give specific instructions with regard to figures (in particular images and drawings), tables, and other non-textual representations).

• If 1) more than one type of results is obtained and if 2) more than one of these types of results is reported in sufficient detail to warrant the distinction of a module that can be consulted separately, create a complex module Treated results containing constituent modules distinguished by their physics contents. The constituents can be components aggregating into the complete results, or focus on specific results that are generalised in the complex module.
• Describe the data analysis and presentation techniques used to treat the data, if the target audience would otherwise not be sufficiently informed to understand and assess the results.
• Give the restrictions of the results, with respect to the range and the precision: the error discussion.
• Link the treated results (and their restrictions) to the raw data they are based on (and their restrictions), and where necessary to data analysis techniques used to treat the data (and their restrictions) by links labelled `Depends on'.
