Q: Can you give me an example of implication for further research?

Research implications suggest how the findings may be important for policy, practice, theory, and subsequent research. Research implications are basically the conclusions that you draw from your results and explain how the findings may be important for policy, practice, or theory. However, the implications need to be substantiated by evidence and the study's parameters need to be explained and the limitations should be taken into account to avoid over-generalization of results.

To give a simple example, if your research is based on effects of a particular drug on patients with diabetes, your research implications could highlight how administering that drug does or does not help the patients and further suggest measures for the regulation of that drug.
