HOW TO WRITE A RESEARCH PROPOSAL
Since a research proposal is an extremely important part of the research process, there are a few key elements to consider:
The research proposal should hold the main components that the research will contain, and must promote the value of the project. The proposal must include what you plan to accomplish in conducting this research, why you would like to conduct this research, and how you are going to conduct the research. It is also important to show that you have knowledge on the pertinent literature that is available on the topic, and that the methodology is sound.
