The introduction section is followed by research section where the researcher describes the study activities carried out to approve or disapprove study hypothesis in the quest to discover new ideas, processes or new things. The research findings and conclusion are then submitted to a scientific journal for peer review and publication.

Maina, the endpoint of a manuscript is the conclusion - On a research paper, the conclusion is made in an easy way as one of the three papers mentioned it that you just take the abstract and change the tense from Present to past and you are done.

Colleagues, I have been impressed by the paper written by shulman, where he said that in conclusion it is simply shifting from present tense of abstract to past tense , then mention at least one relevant theory without saying why your experiment does/or not agree with the theory: I think this is simplifying life.
moreover I did not like the way preparing the presentation for scientific meeting is the most time consumer instead of using this for the main purpose: research. How did you see this ?
