6.1 Assignment: Reading and Remediation

WS6-2_Summary_Section.docx

The purpose of this document is to review the sections of the research paper template. The research paper template is in APA7 format. It includes a title page, table of contents, List of tables, list of figures, project background, project analysis, project summary, references, and appendices. The table of contents is not automatically updated, so you will need to manually update the page numbers in the table of contents.

The project summary section will have conclusions, recommendations, and suggestions for future research. These comments will be based on the project background and project analysis, with the only new information being the future research that is possible and ethical considerations for the summary. Any use of sources should include citations in APA7 format. References and Appendices will complete the paper. Remember that the page numbers in the table of contents will need to match the sections once the paper has been written.

Conclusions and recommendations should refer back to the research questions on the particular data set and topic. Using the facts from the analysis and your interpretations from the hypothesis testing, you can draw conclusions and recommendations that are useful to the business. Since there is always more research that can be accomplished, there is a section to identify those opportunities. It could be that a person could reproduce this study, gather more raw data and analyze it, or have completely different research questions. Finally, the summary section must include any recommendations, and future research.

ASSESSMENT:

1. What are the 4 major sections of the summary?

2. Do you update page numbers in the TOC before or after the summary section (Before or After )?
