Introduction:
Firstly, we have to understand why is it important to
conclude your research paper? This is important because you need to remind your
audience about the strength of your arguments. You can also grab the attention
of readers through it. In this last part of a research paper, we have to
conclude our thesis statement. In this part sometimes we create new ideas for
resolving an issue. Now we will talk about types of conclusions. There are 3
main types of conclusion as editorial, externalizing, and summarizing
conclusion.
It depends on your conclusion how much you seek the
attention of readers. For example, if you are writing an editorial conclusion
in which you write about your ideas, results. If you have some strong ideas,
it's mean your conclusion paragraph is so effective. If you are writing
summarizing conclusion in which you just summarize your topic and conclude.
This conclusion is not effective. But if you are writing externalizing
conclusion in which you have to present your ideas that may not have relevant
to your way of writing a research paper. This type of conclusion is more
effective than others because in which we introduce some new ideas.
Conclusion for your research paper:
If you want to write an effective conclusion for your
research paper. You need to follow these steps that are mentioned below:
1)Rephrase you your topic:
This is the first part of your conclusion in which you
have to restate our research topic. It means we just have to introduce our research
topic first. But make sure that words and syntax should be different from what
you have used in your introduction paragraph for defining your topic. The first
part of your conclusion paragraph must be short, simple, and understandable for
the audience. This is consisting of one or two sentences minimum. Because we
just have to introduce our topic instead of giving details.
2)Summarize your thesis:
Now in the second part of the conclusion, summarize
your thesis statement. The thesis statement should be written differently as
compare to written in your introduction paragraph. This part also consists of
one and two sentences. For writing the second part of the conclusion you have
to follow the instructions of the first part.
3)Summarize important points:
This is the third part of the conclusion paragraph of
a research paper, for writing it you have to collect all important arguments,
points, ideas, etc. You don't need to write more information than the arguments
that are presented in your research paper. The purpose of writing this part is
to remind your audience about the strength of your arguments. The length of
this part of the conclusion depends on your number of arguments. Mostly this
part consists of 6 to 7 sentences maximum.
4)Importance of your main ideas:
After completing the third part of your conclusion
paragraph, you have to discuss your result. In this part, we make a small
discussion on our results as well as the importance of our results. You have to
write reasons also for telling your audience that you come on this outcome.
5)Conclude your ideas:
This is the final part of your conclusion paragraph of
a research paper, in which we introduce our thoughts, ideas or give any
information about our arguments. Then the audience will get your idea and start
thinking further about your idea. So make sure that you are writing the best
idea for your audience. This part of the conclusion paragraph will be more
effective for your audience. This part will decide your conclusion is good or
bad. All types of the conclusion paragraph are effective but try to write an
externalizing conclusion paragraph for your research article. In externalizing conclusion,
we just have to introduce our new ideas towards our arguments. So it helps us
for grabbing the attention of readers. But if you are writing summarizing or
editorial conclusion then you can get a good conclusion but as much effective
as externalizing conclusion.
Guidelines for writing an effective conclusion:
If you want to write the best conclusion for your
research paper, you must have to follow these instructions:
1)Concise and clear:
When you are writing the first part of the conclusion
paragraph you just have to write it in simple and different words. Also, keep
your thesis statement small but understandable for the audience.
2)Avoid some basics statement:
You don't need to tell your audience that this is the
conclusion paragraph. Write your last paragraph in such a way audience gets
your concluding idea. It means the audience will recognize your conclusion
paragraph.
3)Summary:
Try not to give reasons, examples related to
arguments, and needless information. Summarize your topic by following the
format of the conclusion above mentioned.
4)Don't repeat sentence:
If you are repeating sentences in your conclusion
paragraph, it will make your conclusion less effective. So, try your best not
to repeat the sentence that you have already mentioned in your conclusion
paragraph.
5)Relevant points:
Try your best to add relevant ideas to your arguments.
