This section must be structured into three clearly defined and separate subsections: Conclusions, Implications, and Recommendations.

The Conclusions subsection should succinctly summarize the main findings of the study without introducing new information.
The Implications subsection should explain the theoretical, practical, and/or policy implications derived from the findings.

Authorship should be restricted to those who have contributed significantly to the work by either: conceiving of or designing the study, contributing new methods or models, performing research, analyzing data, or writing the paper.
