Abstract and Conclusion of Systematic Review
Humanities
As outlined in the Capstone Report Checklist, Section V (Conclusion) should be 1-2 pages in length and should contain the following:
- Summary of evidence: Summarize the main findings including each main outcome and its relevance to the stakeholders, such as administrators, officers, prisoners, etc.
- Limitations: Discuss limitations at study and outcome level (risk of bias) and at review level (e.g., incomplete retrieval of identified research studies)
- Conclusion: Provide a general interpretation of the results, implications for future research and policy decision.
As outlined in the Capstone Report Checklist, the Abstract should be approximately 150-200 words in length and contain the following:
- Research problem and question
- Methods
- Key findings.
Both sections should be well written and formatted according to APA format. Provide a minimum of three credible resources to support your claims.
As we discussed, this will need to incorporate previous attachments (methodology/search strategies) and the results. I have attached the lecture notes pertaining to the conclusion/abstract, the previous attachments, and an example of a completed systematic review for evidence.
