Points to note for writing a conclusion for research report.

1. Begin with a clear statement of the principal findings. Authors commonly make the
mistake of hiding this message deep within the Conclusions.
2. Open with a statement that conveys enough information to cause the reader to carry
on reading. The next few sentences should elaborate, if necessary, on the opening
statement.
3. State your conclusions clearly and concisely. Be brief and stick to the point.
4. Explain why your study is important to the reader.
5. Prove to the reader, and the scientific community, that your findings are worthy of
note. This means setting your paper in the context of previous work. The implications
of your findings should be discussed within a realistic framework.
6. Strive for accuracy and originality in your conclusion. If your hypothesis is similar to
previous papers, you must establish why your study and your results are original.
7. Conclude with how your testing supports or disproves your hypothesis. By the time
you reach the end of your conclusion, there should be no question in the reader's mind
as to the validity of your claims.
8. Do not rewrite the abstract. Statements with “investigated” or “studied” are not
conclusions.
9. Do not introduce new arguments, evidence, new ideas, or information unrelated to the
topic.
10. Do not apologize for doing a poor job of presenting the material.
11. Do not include evidence (quotations, statistics, etc.) that should be in the body of the
paper.
