==Description==
A '''conclusion''' is a proposition which is reached after considering the [[evidence]], [[arguments]] or premises. Conclusions are a [[fundamental]] feature in [[academic]] or [[research ]] [[work]].

In [[research]] and [[experimentation]], conclusions are determinations made by [[studying]] the results of previous [[work]]. [[Logic]] is the [[discipline]] that studies the rules and procedures that [[Discernment|distinguish]] correct [[reasoning]] (valid) from incorrect (invalid). [[Arguments]] (syllogisms) are movements of [[thought]] by which to extract something (perhaps) unfamiliar from something known. Arguments consist of propositions (or Juci). The propositions that serve as departure (the known) are called premises, and the proposition that derives from these premises is called the conclusion. [[Arguments]] can be [[inductive]] or [[deductive]]. [[Tradition]]al [[logic]] (Aristotelian) is mostly [[devoted]] to the [[analysis]] of [[deduction]] and fallacies (invalid and misleading arguments). (See Richard Pootiz Ortiz, Logic, Quito: Publiconti, 1994).
