Reporting and Sharing Research Output
Drawing Conclusion
Conclusion show readers the value of your completely developed
argument or thesis. It is not a summary of your work, but a listing of major
outcomes derived from the study. A well-written conclusion provides you
with important opportunities to demonstrate to the reader your
understanding of the research problem. According to Burton (2015), this
includes the following:
1. Present the last word on the issues or gaps raised in your paper.
2. Summarize your thoughts and convey the larger significance of your
study.
3. Identify how a gap in the literature has been addressed.
4. Demonstrate the importance of your ideas.
5. Introduce possible new or expanded ways of thinking about the
research problem.
Rules in Writing Conclusion
1. State your conclusions in clearly simple language. State how your
findings differ or support those of other and why.
2. Do not simply reiterate your results or the discussion if 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.
3. Indicate opportunities for future research if you haven’t already done
so in the discussion section of your paper. Highlighting the need for
further research provides the reader the evidence that you have an
in-depth awareness of the research problem.
Consider the following points to help ensure that your conclusion is
appropriate.
1. If the argument or purpose of tour paper is complex, you may need
to summarize the argument for your reader.
2. If, prior to your conclusion. You have not yet explained the
significance if your findings or if you are proceeding inductively, use
the end of your paper to describe your main points and explain their
significance.
3. Move from a detailed to a general level of consideration that returns
the topics to the context provided by the introduction or within a new
context that emerges from the data.
Formulating the Recommendation of the Study
A recommendation for a preferred alternative should include:
1. Specific statements on what should be done, the steps required to
implement policy, and the resources needed.
2. Discussion of the benefits to the organization and what problems
would be corrected or avoided.
3. General statement about the nature and timing if an evaluation plan
that would be used to determine the effectiveness of the proposed
policy.
