The use of qualifiers such as, probably, perhaps, maybe should be avoided. 5. 5. Conclusions should not be repetitions of any statements anywhere in the research, thesis or dissertation. In any event, they may be recapitulations if necessary, however, they should be avoided differently and should convey the same information as the statement summarized. Some suggestions can provide helpful tips to the researchers in drawing conclusions 1. Know the area / locale in which the research has been conducted. 2. What is in the research literature? 3. Focus on the meaning / essence of the results. 4. If theory is involved, either existing or a new theory is reproduced, show the similarity between the results and the theory. 5. 5. If possible, suggest future investigation that might lead to address unsolved problems and provide an extension of knowledge. Recommendations Recommendations are based on the conclusions of the study. Give a detailed description of the suggestion for future action based on the significance of the findings. It includes implications for future use of findings and recommendation for future research. Appeals to people or agencies concerned to help solve the problems should be stated categorically. Guidelines in Writing the Recommendation 1. It should have the aim and effort to solve problems in the study

2. It should ensure a continuous benefit being accorded to the universe mankind involved. 3. It should recommend a further study or investigation in a wider perspective and application.

Abstract A research paper abstract is basically a recap of the content of a college report. An abstract is usually one paragraph (depending on the size of the report) that says what the article is about in very clear terms. Many people write abstracts in order to help readers to decide whether or not they want to read the document How to write an abstract?

This is the most common type of abstract. A descriptive abstract, on the other hand, concentrates on identifying the purpose of the paper, and describing the major areas to be covered in the report. It would be appropriate, for instance, in a review paper reporting on a survey of literature in a particular field.

This is what the reader will see, and will help him or her decide whether to read the rest of the paper or article.

What conclusions or discussions stem from the findings. Keep the abstract short, but be sure to include all major points that you want to get across. A general rule of thumb is that the abstract is no longer than a page, and no longer than 10% the length of the full report...whichever is shorter. Do not include tables, figures, or references in an abstract. Reread/rewrite. Edit your abstract for content, flow, and readability As appropriat Why is this topic important -- what problem does it address. What hypothesis is being examined. What methods or approach are used to address the topic. What are the key findings (particularly appropriate to a scientific paper). e to your topic, include any or all of the following:

Table of Contents Table of contents are definitely one of the first things you need to write properly. Here are some examples to help you create one. A table of contents - also referred to as simply 'contents' - is a list of what topics are included in a specific literary work List of Tables Assign each table in your thesis/dissertation an Arabic numeral. You may number tables consecutively throughout the entire work (Table 1, Table 2, etc.), or you may assign each table a two-part Arabic numeral, the first number designating the chapter in which it appears, followed by a period, followed by a second number to indicate its consecutive placement in the chapter (Table 3.2 is the second table in Chapter Three, etc.). Do not include in the text typesetting notations often used when submitting manuscripts to a publisher (i.e., insert table x here). List of Figures or Illustrations

 List page numbers of all figures. The list should include a short title for each figure but not the whole caption. The List of Figures (if figures are presented in the text) follows the List of Tables, beginning on a new page. The author is responsible for coordinating all titles and numbers on the List of Figures with those in the thesis.
