This document delves into a thorough analysis of research results, placing them in a broader context to assess the project's success or failure. It identifies key challenges and unresolved issues that may arise in the future. The lessons learned from the project highlight significant insights applicable to similar situations. Valuable recommendations are made for improving project approaches and guiding stakeholders on what to embrace or avoid. Finally, the conclusions summarize the core argument, suggest areas for further research, and provide a conclusive thought for the reader.

Analysis and conclusions Where you say what it all means
After the results section • Analysis • Challenges • Lessons • Recommendations • Conclusions • Probably don’t need all of these
Analysis • What the results mean in a larger context • Show how project was successful (or failed) • Relate to • The real world • Other situations • Theoretical framework • Discuss problems and successes
Challenges • What problems remain? • What challenges can be expected in future? • Keep the list short
Lessons • Not “Lessons learned”! • If it’s a lesson, then presumably it’s been learned! • Most important lessons • Can be applied elsewhere • Don’t say the obvious • Keep the list short
Recommendations • What should the project do differently? • What should others do to benefit from the approach? • What should they not do? • Say who should implement the recommendations • Keep the list short
Conclusion • Summarize the main argument in the manuscript • Relate to a larger field • No new information • Suggest further research or action • Relate back to the lead (in a feature-type article) • Gives a sense of finality, wraps up loose ends • Leaves the reader with a single thought, final impression
