You want to avoid introducing new ideas here or discussing tangential issues not directly related to your study. This is the only part of the research paper where personal opinion or speculation beyond what is in the data is allowed. This is your opportunity to elaborate on the significance of your research, and comment on how it fits into the current scholarly conversation on your topic.
