 The following are the tips to guide you in writing a good conclusion in your
research paper.

Strategies in Writing a Good Conclusion

1. Write a brief introduction to your conclusion. You can introduce the conclusion
with a short statement. There is no format to writing this as long as you can introduce
how you came up with such a conclusion.

2. Consider the research questions. A researcher must align the conclusion made with
the research questions to ensure consistency.

3. Write a synthesis. When writing a conclusion, the researcher must establish the key
points of the research paper based on the data obtained and analyzed. Writing a good
conclusion offers a chance to leave a lasting impression on the readers of your
research paper.

4. Include some statistical data. Since you are dealing with quantitative conclusions,
the words or phrases to show the synthesis of your data must be supported by the
result of statistics.
