Conclusion
The conclusion is the final summary section of a qualitative paper. In this section, you should return to the key themes and issues developed in the Introduction. Your conclusion will summarize how the research you have presented has addressed the conceptual frame you put forth in your introduction. A conclusion can be as short as a few paragraphs or as long as a few pages--length will depend on the complexity of your focus and results.
The conclusion should also include a discussion of any new insights the research can contribute to the broader literature. Additionally, any limitations of your research should be stated, as well as suggestions you would have for future research. Any practice applications or policy implications of your work should be included in the conclusion as well.
