Recommendations play an important role in research studies by suggesting actions or policies based on the study's findings and conclusions, not personal beliefs. Recommendations should be logically reasoned and relevant to the specific topic, as well as feasible and attainable. They can advise on policies, future research directions, solutions to problems identified, or improvements and changes to current practices.
