  • However, do not interpret or theoretically integrate findings yet!

Discussion:

General:

  • Refer to the main findings of your study.
  • Discuss how findings address your research question.
  • Discuss main findings with reference to previous research.
  • Discuss why results are new and how the findings contribute to the body of knowledge.

Briefly:

  • What are the findings, what is the basis for the findings, could I come to the same findings and how do the results contribute to theory?
  • However, do not judge or explain implications yet!

Conclusions:

General:

  • Present scientific and practical implications of results.
  • Outline the limitations of the study.
  • Offer perspectives for future work.

Briefly: What did you learn and what does your work contribute to the field?
