WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH A RESEARCH PROPOSAL?

1. Convince us about its importance for the related field. 2. Are you sure that your research question has not been examined before? If

you are sure then keep going… 3. Does your research proposal include the information of data analysis? If it

does not include any details of data analysis, then it might be another type of proposal… who knows?

4. What future studies will do with your expected research findings? Do you think that it will contribute something, or not? Please be sure that it contributes something… and write what it is 

NOW, PLAN YOUR RESEARCH PROPOSAL The proposal should be around 1,000-2,000 words and include an outline of your proposed research topic, the research method, and the source materials you intend to use. It is judged both on content and proposal format; clear structure and correct usage of APA style writing rules. It should include title, abstract, research context, research questions, research methods, significance of research and bibliography. Title: It should include the words that reflect the focus of your proposal, so it is kind a mini-Abstract. Abstract: It should include a couple of sentences setting out the problem that you want to examine or the central question that you wish to address and emphasize how you approach the problem and what would be the contribution of your research for future studies. Quick tips: Just write four important sentences that reflect the most important sides of your research proposal.

Research Context: Why your research is needed? You need to give us a reason here which has to include a brief overview of the general area of study within which your proposed research falls, summarising the current state of knowledge and recent debates on the topic. Research Questions: Be specific. You cannot discover new oceans. Many research proposals are too broad. So before writing your proposal, keep calm and think about the key questions that you are seeking to answer. The proposal should also explain your intended approach to answering the questions: Will your approach be empirical, or theoretical? And please be sure that your research context communicates with your research questions. Statement of your thesis: A thesis statement should be a proposition. You need to write what you expect to find (Remember that you did not find anything and your research is open to change on the basis of the evidence.) Significance: In a brief paragraph, you should explain why your topic is interesting and why your thesis is worth pursuing. Research Methods: How are you going to conduct your research? It is important to present the proposed research methodology (e.g. techniques, sample size, target populations, measurements you are going to use, equipment and data analysis) and explain why it is the most appropriate methodology to effectively answer the research question. This section should also explain how you are going to analyze your research findings. Most importantly, tell us your research design (is it correlational or experimental? What are your IV and DV? How you measure them...) and which statistical test you are going to use for testing your hypothesis. Discussion & Significance of Research: Now, you need to explain why your research is important (for example, by explaining how your research builds on and adds to the current state of knowledge in the field or by setting out reasons why it is timely to research your proposed topic) and how your research contributes the field, especially future studies. Bibliography: The proposal should include a short bibliography identifying the most relevant works for your topic. You need to cite each work in-text according to APA and place them in your “Reference” list at the end of your proposal.
