Is it good to write the "Conclusions" section lengthy or precise in a journal paper? Kindly suggest.
The "Conclusions" section of a research paper should be written precisely and it must includes all findings, important results, recommendations, and future scope if any.
The conclusion is crux of the paper including the major findings and suggestions
The conclusion
- Restate your thesis/claim,
- Address opposing viewpoints and explain why readers should align with your position.
The conclusion must be short, precise and expressive of what has been obtained.
Write the conclusion as summary at least one month after of completion of a research paper.
It will be far more easier.
The size of conclusion should be precise, following the style of the targeted journal.
Thanks
Dear Jonnala Subba Reddy,
The "conclusions' section of the paper should always be written precisely with inclusion of major findings and suggestions, if any.
Good luck!
The formatting of an article may vary from publishers. The classic suggestion of a research article template includes: abstract, keywords, introduction, material and methods, results and discussion, conclusions and references. Some publishers reverse the order of section, suggest the fragmentation of the results and discussion, in other words, there is no formal rigor. Particularly, I prefer this suggested order, since each section facilitates the immediate reading and interest of the researcher. The conclusion is a closing or crowning of the article. When this section does not exist, the reader attempts to search the abstract (often limited in the number of words) or has to read the discussion section and exit information mining. Therefore, this issue could be systematized and formatted for all journals making life easier for authors and researchers.
Conclusion of a brief summary of the study and not an abstract. It should be brief and concise in a logical manner.
The conclusions should be written precisely. In the conclusion, you must restate your aims and objectives and summarize your main findings and evidence for the reader. You should not present any new arguments in your conclusion. You can raise some open questions and set the scene for the next study. The conclusion section of your research paper should include the following:
• Overall summary
• Further research if there is
Major findings should be summarised in the conclusion part. It should cover all the significant inferences in a precise manner.
Thank you all Professors for your response and interesting, useful thoughts..
The words "conclusions" and "conclusion" have different meaning.
The "conclusion" is simply the final thoughts at the end of the paper, and should not be lengthy.
The "conclusions" are the lessons learned from critical thinking about your findings, and should represent a significant part of your discussion section. The discussion itself should be long.
