Chapter conclusions

R

Hello All,

I was just after some thoughts on what people include in the conclusion section of each of their chapters. To provide a bit of background, I'm in the social sciences and am currently writing up my findings and discussion chapters. To date I have tended to include the following:

- Overview of the issue/subject being explored during the research
- Summary of key points (keep it simple - focus on important points)
- Link back to the purpose of the research

How is everyone else doing it? Any thoughts/tips gratefully received :)

Cheers!

I'm from the geographic sciences, and my disucssion and conclusion for each data chapter was rolled into one. My approach was to cover off what was in the chapter aims/objects, and discuss the outcomes in relation to previous literature i.e. how my work added to the state of knowledge about the subject. In my discussion I also provided a summary of sorts, but it was integrated into the broader discussion.

Thanks Barramack! Similar to what I have done, but split into two separate sections (discussion and conclusion).
