An Epistemological Reading of the Cognitive and Methodological Dimensions of the Fundamentals of the Introduction and Conclusion of Scientific Research:A Conceptual and Analytical Approach

Abstract

Scientific writing in the academic field constitutes one of the core tasks undertaken by the university alongside pedagogical duties. The quality of scientific research requires that both the professor-researcher and the student master the techniques of preparing scientific research across its various stages and phases. Scientific research and academic studies are divided into three permanent and fixed components: an introduction,followed by the presentation of the core of the subject—known as the body of the text—which includes the chapters, sections, and subsections of the study, and concluded with a conclusion presenting the research findings.This article addresses and focuses on elucidating two prominent stages, namely the introduction and the conclusion of scientific research, considering that their pure substance is woven from the researcher’s own thought. The article seeks to present a conceptual and analytical approach through which it clarifies the essential elements that should be included in both the introduction and the conclusion of scientific research,while indicating their value and their functional role methodologically and cognitively.Keywords: method, methodology, scientific research, elements of the introduction,introduction, conclusion, recommendations, findings.
