While there are plenty of research proposal writing strategies, one of the most important things to pay attention to is selecting and approaching the topic.

You need to carefully consider each and every aspect of your topic. Your topic has to be interesting and worthy of investigation and you have to clarify how the research will be approached. What, why, how, why, and when are the questions to ask yourself as you do this.

Well to write your proposal you will need to break this down into a project like any other. Set your schedule of requirements for your paper. Then break this down into the various ptoject parts with a time line. Then expand on those parts.within that time line.There are a lot of open source and free tools to do this. Also having a bit more detail on what the research is about will allow the readers to expand on there answers for you. Have a great day.

Hello Salsabeel,

You ask an excellent question which will lead to success...

Academic writing is critical today due to the impact it can have on getting ideas across within the scholarly and practical world. Here, I am going to explain the different types of writing and why it is important for you to know exactly what you need to do before you start the proposal.

There are aspects of writing that include describing situations. Here the type of approach differs from analyzing a situation. Also, other elements can consist of being critical. The question is about which aspect of academic writing you would like to focus on. To give you a better context of why the type of writing is important is when I think of the different students that write and submit their essays without answering the questions expected of them. This type of writing assumes a study of what students bring with them to their learning. What are you interested in finding out about?

All of these will make your research proposal very easy to prepare and even give you the framework to follow when answering your question.

I am going to answer your question in two aspects: One proposal that is based on scientific academic writing, two for social sciences.

  1. One proposal that is based on scientific academic writing,the following points has to be consider:  a. Get your topic that you want to work on (b) aim and specific objectives (c) Scope of your study,(d) methods of getting your samples,(e) your novelty if you are PhD. (f) Duration of the study.Basically you can sterd with Introduction, Methodology,expected results.
  2.   social sciences you can take the same style but when it comes to expected results is secondary results.
