Question: I am writing a technical paper where I have described an experiment resulting in "x". Then I go on to describe the result of a second experiment whose result was expected since the reason was deduced in the previous experiment (x). I'm looking for a phrase to tie the two sentences together but I did not want to use "as expected" or "it would follow".

I know there is another phrase out there that suits better but I can't seem to come up with it right now so I need your help. Thanks.

Answer: 
"**Confirming the hypothesis**" always sounds good in a technical paper. Or "**as hypothesized**".

If you are noting agreement with previous results, you can say "**validating/confirming results from...**".
**Paralleled**

The experimental results **paralleled** the theoretically expected results outlined in Paper/Report/Experiment x/y/z

Alternatively:

* Corresponded
* Analogous

The correct word choice would also depend on the way the information is presented to the reader.
