How to Write the Conclusion a prediction about the future.

MELC: Understand the different parts of a research paper.

In our system, neither disturbance nor propagule input
Read the following sentences about conclusions. If the
statement is correct, write AGREE but if it is not, write alone was sufficient to maximize invasion success (i.e.
DISAGREE. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.
1. Conclusions make recommendations for future work.
2. The significance of the research is not mentioned in a
conclusion.
3. A conclusion sums up the most significant aspects of
the study.
4. The statement “we felt sure that the damage was
caused by heat exposure” can be restated as “the
damage must have been caused by heat
exposure.”
5. The statement “the results are interesting and should
be replicated in a larger number of samples”
shows limitations/current and future research.

Conclusion
 the last part of a scientific research report
 Aside from answering the main research question it
summarizes and reflects on the research done.
 It also gives recommendations for future work and
contributes to knowledge in the area.
The parts of a conclusion include the following:
1. A summary of the main ideas where you rephrase the key
points of the aim/purpose, the methods, and the
results because you are affirming your reasoning
through the evidence collected in your research.
2. A short discussion of possible limitations and applications
to show you critical evaluation of the research.

little effect on total recruitment in control plots, though
at high levels it ultimately overcame space limitation
and ensured successful invasion. However, even at
high levels of propagule input, final S. muticum

on our experimental results alone, we might have
predicted strong effects of both molluscs and urchins
on the S. muticum invasion in the long term. However,
the simulation model suggested that these two natural
