Appendices

Appendices avoid putting large amounts of detail in the body of your document, where the reader may lose track of your logic and start speed reading forwards to the next interesting part.

Typical subjects for appendices include:

• Detailed method and approach
• Tables of raw data
• Glossary of terms, especially if you use jargon
• Detailed technical information

If you rely on external sources, you should reference them so that others can follow up.

There are many standards for referencing publications. A typical format is:

• Author name(s): surname and initials
• Year of publication
• Title of publication
• Publisher
• Page range
• URL, if available online

Conclusions

The conclusions bring together the important findings or recommendations from your document.

Tip: write the conclusions second, after writing the summary.

Some readers might read just the executive summary and the conclusions, without reading the main body. Conclusions can be longer than the executive summary, as you should mention the important reasons behind your findings or recommendations.

Body

The body of your document will depend on the type of document. The important characteristics are:

• Good signposting with descriptive headings
• A coherent sequence that builds up step by step
• Put complicated details and data in the Appendices, and summarise them in the main body
