Conclusion

  • This section should be just that, a conclusion and not a discussion.
  • It needs to be short, concise and only based upon data contained within the manuscript.
  • If any other material is present (even if true) please draw attention to it. It must be avoided.
  • Often the conclusion section is too long and is a discussion and not a conclusion. Avoid words like ‘we believe, we assumed it might be’ etc.
