When writing the conclusions and discussion, the author first repeats the aim or aims for the research, the methods and the results. The author also assesses their own work and the methods used. In this chapter, the author should examine all the research problems set in the beginning, even if all questions possibly have not been answered.
In the conclusions and discussion, the author gives the commissioner of the research practical advice and well-argued development ideas for the future. The author should also state if the objectives set by the commissioner were met. The conclusions and discussion also present what the author learnt from the process, so that future researchers can use this. This is also the chapter for the author to critically assess his/ her own written production.
