Conclusion Section Checklist

What This Checklist Covers

A run through what your conclusion chapter needs to land, grouped into seven sections:

• Addressing research questions — did you actually answer them?
• Implications of findings — what they mean for theory and practice.
• Limitations and acknowledgments — an honest account of constraints.
• Recommendations for future research — realistic next steps.
• Final reflection — what the process taught you, and a closing note.
• Compliance and quality control — word count, formatting, citations.
• Final review — the last pass, including your supervisor’s input.

The checklist can be copied to your Google Drive or downloaded as a fully editable document, so you can tick items off as you go.
