Conclusion

In papers in the social sciences, the purpose of a conclusion section is often fulfilled by the discussion, which does everything a conclusion would do: restate the research question or problem and summarize the answer; explain the practical or theoretical implications of the answer; and identify the limitations of the study and give ideas for future research. For this reason, your research already has a conclusion whether you write a separate section or not; and if you include a conclusions section, you may run the risk of simply repeating yourself.

However, if you have been instructed that you should include a conclusion, consider finishing your discussion after Move 3, Step 3 and use this information, together with the information from Move 4, in a conclusion section. Alternatively, ask your supervisor for advice.
