Avoid using "observed presented" directly. Rephrase your sentence to use a more grammatically correct construction, such as "the observed data were presented" or "the findings presented...".
Common error

Better alternatives include "presented observations" or restructuring the sentence for clarity. Given its infrequent and questionable usage, avoiding this phrase is advisable, especially in formal or academic writing. The phrase primarily appears in scientific contexts, according to Ludwig.
