How do you write a research proposal?

We Answered:

First, you need to come up with an idea about what it is you want to research. Typically, a research proposal should mimic the format of a standard academic journal article in that particular field. You should ask your professor for the specific details of what he/she wants, but the general format is something like this:

Introduction and literature review: Talk about previous research in the areas relevant to your proposal, and how your planned research derives from these earlier findings. Toward the end of the intro, you want to state your predictions (this part is sort of like the thesis) and give a rough overview of how you plan to test them.

Methods and Procedures: Come up with specific procedures that will allow you to test your hypothesis. It should be detailed enough that the reader could replicate your research based on your description of what the study will entail.

Results: Professors can have different ideas about what should go here, so ask. Generally, you discuss what kind of results you expect to get, and describe what kinds of analyses you will use. Sometimes, you just need a vague description, but some profs may ask you to go into meticulous detail.

Discussion: Some profs use this, some don't. The discussion is where you summarize what your findings were and what the implications of those results are. Since you don't have results to discuss, it's a bit more of a stretch. Assuming your prof wants you to include a discussion, you would most likely pretend that your predictions were supported. From there, you would interpret your results, and discuss their larger meaning within the literature or application to the real world. You might also mention some caveats or potential shortcomings of your study, and possibly even suggest some future avenues of research.

References: listing all of the sources you cited in your proposal. Use whatever formatting style is standard in that field, or whatever your professor tells you to use (APA, MLA, etc.)

How hard is it to write a research proposal? Is it really that hard?

We Answered:

It's not easy of course, but it doesn't have to be hard...
It depends on what your client wants to research upon which you will decide on the methods used to research and the budget required. Some clients will make it hard and pretend they know it all, and some will be nice and accept whatever you say..

how do you write a research proposal?

"In this research proposal I will examine the use of gender in the books from England and from Africa in the 18th century. I will determine whether these are similar or differ considerably, and will explore possible reasons, because of the cultures in each location, why this may be the case."

"To develop this, I will read three books each from the 18th century in England and in Africa. I will examine the use of gender--number of male and female characters, amount of power of each, and the number who die--in each book. Then, after discussing the results, I will discuss the cultures of the two areas and give impressions why the areas had similar or different uses of gender in their literature."

That type of thing.
