3 (Good) The results and discussion sections are clear and organized, with minor issues in flow or subheadings. Data is presented clearly, though some tables, figures, or graphs may be less effective. Descriptions are generally clear. Results are interpreted well, with good connections to research questions and literature. Implications are well-discussed, with clear significance and impact. Limitations are acknowledged and discussed, with some suggestions for future research.
2 (Satisfactory) The results and discussion sections are somewhat clear but may lack organization or logical flow. Data presentation is adequate but may lack clarity or effective use of visual aids. Descriptions are somewhat clear. Results interpretation is adequate but may lack depth or strong connections to research questions and literature. Implications are discussed but may lack depth or clarity regarding significance. Limitations are mentioned but may lack depth or suggestions for future research.
1 (Needs Improvement) The results and discussion sections are unclear and poorly organized, making it difficult to follow. Data presentation is unclear, with poor use of visual aids. Descriptions are confusing or incomplete. Results interpretation is weak, with poor connections to research questions and literature. Implications are poorly discussed, with little attention to significance or impact. Limitations are poorly acknowledged or not discussed, with no suggestions for future research.

This holistic rubric provides an overall assessment of the quality of the results and discussion sections, focusing on clarity, organization, data presentation, interpretation, implications, and acknowledgment of limitations.
