How to Write the Conclusions for a Scientific Paper

Beginning writers of scientific papers are often confused about what goes into the conclusions section. In this tutorial, you will learn how to write the conclusions to a research paper. First-time authors of a scientific paper often confuse conclusions with a summary (a recitation of the results). The conclusions section of a scientific article is where the author needs to put the research into a broader perspective and articulate why the work is important and how it advances understanding.
