- How would your research findings be communicated back to the interested parties or participants?
Conclusion
- Point out major gaps in research, inconsistencies in theory and findings, and areas or issues pertinent to future study.
- Indicate who the potential users of the study findings could be, and how the study might be used to improve the organisation(s), group(s), or sector.
References
- A references section should appear at the end of your paper. See an article in a recent issue of any APA journal for an example of the proper formatting. The complete rules are given in the APA Publication Manual.
