A report interpretation (hereinafter, the Section) is the restatement of report findings, optionally, with opinion statements of the author(s). The Section functions as an essential part of the report content. The Section is a required part of report's body or text matter.
Description
The ANSI/NISO Scientific and Technical Reports standard details,
- The required conclusions section interprets findings that have been substantiated in the discussion of results and discusses their implications. The section introduces no new material other than remarks based on these findings. It includes the author's/creator's opinions and is written to be read independently of the text. The section could include a summary of the conclusions from similar studies, a conclusion based solely on the current results, or an overall conclusion. The following examples could be appropriate titles for this section:
- Conclusions - if deductions independent of specific conditions of the investigation are made
- Restatement of Results - if factual findings specific to the particular investigation are given
- Concluding Remarks - if opinions are included in addition to findings and conclusions
