Before you begin this section, be sure that you have sorted your articles into different themes based on the articles' findings (sometimes called results). Make sure to describe the studies that you identified and compare, contrast and/or connect the articles you've selected. Also, mention and discuss the relevant theories. 3. Conclusion – one page In this page, it is important to summarize the main general findings from the articles that reviewed and to point out the information that you found particularly important. Also, point out major methodological flaws or gaps in research, inconsistencies in theory and findings, and areas or issues pertinent to future study. 4.
