Discussion WRITING A CONCLUSION
2

In writing a conclusion, you have to include:

 A summary of your research findings/ results

Just as the introduction gives a first impression to your reader, the

conclusion offers a chance to leave a lasting impression. Do this, for
example, by highlighting key findings in your analysis or result section.

 The implications of your study
Don't be shy. The conclusion offers you the opportunity to elaborate on

the impact and significance of your findings.

 The recommendations for future research
This does not refer to introducing new information (which should be

avoided), but to offer new insight and creative approaches for framing
or contextualizing the research problem based on the results of your

study. It is recommendations for action or overview of future research

possibilities.
It is best to write your conclusion in a clear, concise, and simple way to

convince some essential message from your research. Do not simply reiterate
your results or the discussion of your results. Provide a synthesis of

arguments presented in the paper to show how these converge to address the
research problem and the overall objectives of your study.
