Conclusion即是一篇论文的结论,是论文征稿的结尾部分。无论是国内国外的导师,他们想要迅速了解这个论文的大概情况,最快捷的方法就是阅读论文的开头和结尾, 因此,写好引言和结语是非常重要的。这里100due分享三个层次的“公式”,让你的结论部分完美结尾。
首先让我们看一下 wiki 对结论的定义:
Conclusion is an ending section which states the concluding findings and relevant recommendations for future research.
简单来说,结论不仅要概括整篇论文的所有发现,还要展望未来——即要提到未来研究的方向。如果我对这种泛泛而谈的结论的逻辑结构感到困惑,下面我们来看看它的完整框架:
一个好的结论应该包括以下三个部分:
总结你的研究问题的发现,指出哪些学者/文献与你的研究结论一致,并在讨论部分提醒读者你是如何得出这些观点的。 总之,这部分是对整篇论文主体的高度概括。
您的研究结果是否以及在多大程度上实现了您的研究目标。 您的发现对该领域的意义或影响是什么?例如,您的研究开辟了哪些可能性,或者您对政府组织、公司等未来的政策举措提出了哪些建议和贡献。
找出并反思整篇论文的局限性或弱点。 这些限制可能存在于您的整体分析方法中,也可能是由数据收集引起的。 在结论的最后,还应该提到如何在你未来的研究中改进和克服这些限制。
注意:
