Learn English – Replace “future work” with a phrase in three words

writing-style

Since I don't intend to continue work on my paper, I don't want to use the phrase "future work". After reading two similar questions (1 and 2), my first thinking is that most of the suggested replacements are long. There are two nominees that sound good:

  • "Open questions"
  • "Further discussion" or put it under "Discussion" section

But sometimes it's not a question nor a discussion, e.g. "find a better method to solve this problem".

Since the title of a section shouldn't be too long, I want to limit it not more than three words. Do you have any ideas?


I just think about these phrases, what do you think?

  • "Potential direction". Thanks to jakebeal's answer.
  • "Further development"

I could see several headings:

  • possible next steps
  • future lines of questioning
  • potential directions
  • interesting extensions
  • where next
  • quo vadis (if you want to be pretentious) ...
