Discuss about the effects of soil chemistry on human decomposition.
Discussion: this section, as the name suggests, is a discussion by you of the strengths and weaknesses of the previous work that has been done. It should emphasize the limitations of the method(s) and how they implicate the application of this method to real casework. This is an opportunity for you to provide case examples from your own experience or at least from your own thoughts as to how the methodology may be applied.
Future Studies: this section is your opportunity to suggest how the area of discussion may be improved. What sort of study would be needed in order to enhance the technique, or possibly yield some improvement? This is your opportunity to suggest research scenarios to address the issues that you have found from your reading of the literature. You must ask yourself if the research you are thinking of is ethical, pragmatic, or even possible. What are the limits of such research? This will give you an important insight into how research is designed and why limits exist in the first place.
Literature Cited: this is the final section of the paper. Note that it is a listing of all the literature that you have cited in your paper and not a bibliography of everything you have read. There is a difference. Only those papers that you are citing are to be listed here using the APA format mentioned above. Most students ask how many references are required. The answer is simple, as many as are needed for you to complete the task at hand. There is no ideal number of references. When you examine the professional literature (these are refereed journals such as the Journal of Forensic Sciences) you will see how professional papers are put together and how that work is cited. Furthermore, you will also see that the references they cite will be important for you to consider using in your own paper.
