This chapter is much more likely to be read than the entire report, and it must be written with great care. Assumptions, value judgments, data and procedural limitations, etc., must all be stated very explicitly. It is also most important to qualify conclusions appropriately, and not make statements which cannot be substantiated by the project procedures and data. The implications of their findings should also be noted, and followed by suggestions for action and for future research. Data or conclusions represented previously in different formats can be highlighted here to support the project's conclusions.
Recommendations are a logical sequence to the conclusions.
They suggest remedial actions to some problem or further in-depth studies in some specific areas. Where the technical vocabulary necessary to understand the project would not normally be understood by the non-specialist reader, it is often necessary to add a Glossary section. When the technical vocabulary is first used in the text, it is usually appropriate to define it briefly and also refer the reader to the Glossary where a more complete explanation is given. Appendices are reserved for important material which is too voluminous for inclusion within the project text and would thus disrupt the smooth flow of information. All material placed in an Appendix must be referenced within the text of the project.
