Academic research and interview transcription with the support of reliable interview
transcription services form the basis of a student’s thesis or dissertation. In the theses or
dissertation, the conclusion is the capstone and it is the final thing the reader looks at.
That makes it important to write the conclusion in such a way that the reader gets a
favorable impression regarding the content presented. Being the closing statement of
the dissertation, the conclusion should focus on reinforcing the argument in the
dissertation and convincing the reader. The reader should get a clear idea of the content,
and for this all the thoughts discussed must be brought into alignment so that the reader
understands the logic behind the argument. In fact, a good conclusion is a major factor
that helps determine the merit of a work.

Focus on Writing a Solid Conclusion

As providers of university transcription services for academic researchers, we focus on


offering an insightful service wherein we make suggestions for overall improvement and
also emphasize the significance of a solid conclusion. We have observed that most
students consider the introduction and the main body section as the most important
parts and often ignore the conclusion. However, the concluding words are often
remembered better, which makes the conclusion a key element in a dissertation.

When writing the conclusion, the student should remember that the reader is familiar
with the content discussed and the line of argument. The concluding part should be
carefully written so that there is no superfluous material. You need to draw attention to
the key points, but there should be no boring repetition. The various points discussed in
the dissertation should be brought together and the connection between various distinct
elements should be clearly established. The conclusion of a dissertation should be
written in such a way as to consolidate the points discussed earlier and present a clear
picture.

Points to Consider When Drafting Your Conclusion

So let us consider how you can write an effective conclusion.

• The conclusion does not require a full rewriting of the main idea or a copy-paste
of what was written earlier. Conclusion should be restating the ideas of your
dissertation in a different and impressive manner. It should be brief and there
should be no digressions. Make sure to include any valuable insights you may
have obtained.
• Use a convincing and persuading tone so that the reader is compelled to accept
your point of view.

• If your dissertation is dealing with a contemporary problem, warn the readers of
the possible consequences if that problem is not effectively dealt with.
• The main goal of the conclusion is to connect your arguments and the
statements of your thesis.
• Do not include quotations in your conclusion. Readers do not want to read what
others may have said in the concluding part. They would rather want to get
acquainted with your opinions and thoughts.
• Don’t make your conclusion too complicated; use terminology that is
comprehensible for all types of readers. The objective is to convey your opinions
is a simple and manner.
• Ensure that the conclusion is the logical summation of your dissertation.
Everything you have discussed in the previous sections must logically lead to
your conclusion.
• Another important thing to note is your conclusion should offer suggestions for
ongoing research based on your discussion and findings. This will make your
argument more meaningful and relevant.
• After reading your conclusion, the reader must be satisfied and feel that all
questions have been addressed.
• Sometimes the reader may not think like the author. So it is important to think
from different angles and not as an author alone. This helps to answer any
questions, clarify all points and frame a good conclusion.
• Do not write the conclusion in a hurry because then there could be a possibility of
misinterpreting the information provided in the main section and even forget
important details.
• Using irony or an appeal to the reader’s emotions can create a strong impression
on them.
• Edit and proofread your conclusion very carefully before submitting your
dissertation.

Remember, the Conclusion Is the Final Word

Remember that in academic writing, a well-written conclusion can provide the final word
on the value of your dissertation. You should mention the findings of your research in
such a way that elicits action or shows urgency in seeking the change necessary to
address a problem(s) discussed. The reader should be able to get a “take-home”
message in the form of an emphatic, succinct statement. Nowadays, many providers of
academic transcription services have become more proactive partners, providing useful
recommendations and pointing out missing elements, thus helping researchers deliver
more insightful output.
