Chapter 13: Writing the concluding chapter

Concluding Chapter Quality Tool

This builds a rich prompt for an external AI (ChatGPT) to give a deep, doctoral-level critique of your Concluding Chapter focusing on coverage & closure, academic register, and a targeted “7 deadly sins” check. After you paste your chapter, a fuller prompt will be copied via the button below. The AI will then deliver structured feedback and continue with a Socratic-style dialogue (one question at a time) to help you revise.

ℹ︎

Tip: For cross-session memory, create a Project in ChatGPT (e.g., “My Doctoral Research”) and run all chats inside it. Your project details will then persist across tools.

What the AI will do (Summary)

Analyse coverage & closure: concise recap of aims/RQs and findings; contribution & originality; limits/boundaries; credible future research; coherence/unity; memorable take-home message.
Assess academic register: flag hedging, clichés, weak provisos, unsupported claims; provide concise, authoritative rewrites in a doctoral tone.
Run a “7 deadly sins” check for common concluding-chapter problems (e.g., over-claiming, introducing new literature, weak future-proofing) with brief fixes.
Socratic follow-up: after feedback, continue one question at a time to help you revise; say “end dialogue” to stop, then receive a short revised summary of recommendations.
