In research papers, a concluding paragraph is something that should not be hard to write. A conclusion should offer closure, and for research papers, it should not include any new points or unsupported claims. If the final paragraph contains anything not already covered, the resulting paper will seem incomplete. This reality is the same for papers about alchemy as it would for any other topic matter. For some, making a quick list of separate notes will help structure the paragraph.
