Emphasize your contributions Make sure your reader is left with a strong impression of what your research has contributed to knowledge in your field. Some strategies to achieve this include:
Returning to your problem statement to explain how your research helps solve the problem.
Referring back to the literature review and showing how you have addressed a gap in knowledge.
Discussing how your findings confirm or challenge an existing theory or assumption.
Again, here, try to avoid simply repeating what you’ve already covered in the discussion. Pick out the most important points and sum them up with a succinct overview that situates your project in its broader context.
Finish your thesis The end is near! Once you’ve finished writing your conclusion, it’s time to wrap up your thesis with a few final steps.
It’s a good idea to write the abstract next, while the research is still fresh in your mind. If you’re not sure where to begin, read our guide on how to write an abstract.
Then you need to make sure your reference list is complete and correctly formatted. To speed up the process, you can use our free APA citation generator.
Once you’ve added any appendices, you can create a table of contents and title page. Finally, read through the whole document again to make sure your thesis is clearly written and free from language errors. You can proofread it yourself, ask a friend, or take a look at Scribbr’s proofreading and editing service
