Research proposals
A research proposal describes what you will investigate, why it’s important, and how you will do the research. The format of a research proposal varies between fields, but most proposals should contain at least these elements:
- Cover page
- Introduction
- Literature review
- Research design
- Reference list
There may be some variation in how the sections are named or divided, but the overall goals are always the same. This article takes you through a basic research proposal template and explains what you need to include in each part.
Literature review
A literature review is a piece of academic writing demonstrating knowledge and understanding of the academic literature on a specific topic placed in context. A literature review also includes a critical evaluation of the material
Methodology
Methodology refers to the overarching strategy and rationale of your research project. It involves studying the methods used in your field and the theories or principles behind them, in order to develop an approach that matches your objectives.
Data presentation and data analysis
What comes to your mind when you read or hear the words DATA PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS?
What comes to your mind may include;
- Graphs
- Figures
- Response rate
- Demographic analysis
DEFINITION: The data presentation and analysis chapter presents and analyses data collected from a research. Some of the major issues discussed in this section include the response rate, the demographic profile of the respondents and the main research findings which are discussed as per objective. Findings can either be presented orally (viva) or as a written document (project/ dissertation / thesis).
- At DRCRESEARCH we assist our clients to present and analyse their data.
Concept paper / Manuscripts
Concept papers are typically prepared by entrepreneurs working on a business proposal or product, or by students and researchers in academia. Such documents are aimed at securing feedback on a research idea and seeking potential investors or funders. In fact, such a document might even help determine whether a project idea is feasible in the first place.
GRAMMAR AND LANGUAGE EDITING
The vision behind the creation of DRCRESEARCH is a far sighted one. We intend to develop an online platform which will solve all problems related to editing academic documents for research scholars in South Africa. We also aim to make this site a one-stop solution for students who are faced with challenges regarding the language, grammar, formatting and presentation of academic reports whether at Master’s or at PhD academic level.
Our help extends beyond just checking the language of the content. We make corrections in grammar, spellings and format, punctuation, transition and flow as is necessary based on the service selected. We also suggest improvement in vocabulary to comply with norms of academic writing. Plus, we have a system of conducting checks for plagiarism and provide a report for the same.
PROOF READING
There are a number of students who are not familiar with the English language. Expertise in the language cannot be gained overnight and you cannot risk your dissertation work because of this weakness. Many times, we might be skilled at research, but may not be so conversant with English grammar to churn out a good document. Hence, to make sure that the English usage is correct, you can avail proofreading service from us.
In our team, we have native English language speakers who have done their Masters and doctorate from renowned universities. They have ample experience in dissertation editing and proofreading. They have been selected to be on board after vigorous interviews and assessments. To cater to dissertations from various fields, we have experts from different backgrounds and expertise.
As part of the proofreading service, we check for spelling mistakes, verb agreements and punctuations in your document. There could be errors in spelling, tenses and punctuation, which are normally missed by the spelling check tools. As part of proofreading all these aspects are checked and changes are made in the document using track changes mode. The changes are thus highlighted for you to accept them after discussing with your supervisor.
A large document written by one person and scanned over and over again by the same person may make them blind to some of the errors. Hence it is always advisable to have a review of the same done by a second person. This will go a long way in producing a quality document, which meets the expected guidelines and language compliance.
The proofreading service offered by us ensures the privacy of your documents as the data is stored on a secure server. Contact our service managers now to avail the service.
