HOW TO WRITE
Conclusion
The conclusion of the research paper is the most valuable single part of it presenting the conclusion you have reached as a result of your research.
 How to Write a Research Papers Conclusion
* echo your introduction
* restate your thesis statement and show what the material you have presented adds up to
* recapitulate your major ideas, analyze and evaluate our main points
* explain your reader why your paper was meaningful
* consider the consequences and general implications
* show the results of your work
* make the reader think of your topic
* challenge the reader by posing a question
* introduce a relevant quote
* tell an appropriate anecdote.
Although no actual new information is usually introduced in the concluding paragraphs, the conclusion is the only "original" contribution you offer in your paper. It manifests the value of your research as well as your understanding of the material that you have presented. It should be a strong recapitulation of your major ideas.
