I am presently writing up a PhD with a very imminent deadline (next week!), so please go fairly easy. My thesis is of a technical nature.
In each chapter I have a results subsection which is divided into subsubsections (I'm using Lyx/Latex) for each topic within that chapter. For example, I vary a bunch of parameters within a chapter, and have a results subsection for each parameter. This is mirrored in the discussion section; within each discussion subsection I have subsubsections for each relevant result.
This has resulted in my discussion subsections being essentially more elaborate versions of the results subsections.
I'd like to have a more general area within each discussion subsection - after the individual subsubsections - that can discuss things more cohesively.
I'm not sure the best way to do this - another subsubsection for "General Discussion" is a little clunky. I don't have time to rewrite everything so am looking for a solution that I can add rather than rework.
This may simply be a question of finding an appropriate subsubsection name, or perhaps there are better ways to divide my discussion up without formalising it into subsubsections. I was thinking perhaps I could use some kind of break - like a few lines of empty space after the last subsubsection, any ideas would be very well received.
E.g. I have this:
Chapter N
- Methodology
- Results
* Variation of X
* Variation of Y
- Discussion
* Variation of X
* Variation of Y
* ?? How to discuss results of both X and Y
