The Six 'P's of Research Proposal Preparation
Project
W hy is your project worth investing in?

Precision
Provide your reader with a very clear Person
idea of what you are planning to do, W hy are you the best person to deliver
why it is worthwhile, and how you plan the project?
to achieve your goals. Please bear in
mind that your project must be
achievable within the standard time The Six
frame and thesis word length. ‘P’s of RP
Preparation

Preparation
Passion How have you prepared for the project?
Does your passion for your subject and W hat other training will you undertake
for conducting original research come in order to deliver the project?
through in the application?

Place
W hy is the University of X the best
place to undertake your research?
 Your research proposal should also demonstrate the following elements:

1. Originality - What is the 'gap' in knowledge that you wish to fill (Novelty)?
2. Feasibility - Show that your scope, timescale and resources are realistic. Reflect on the
key questions that you are seeking to answer to ensure that your project is not too broad
to be achievable.
3. Context - Situate your own research within a body of existing work.
4. Critical thinking - Identify issues and problems within the status quo.
5. Suitable supervision - Research the department you are applying to and show that
your project fits with the research interests of a supervisor, and preferably also the wider
department and University.
6. Ownership - Demonstrate your ability to take ownership of an independent research
project and make a positive first impression of yourself as a potential research leader.
7. Impact - What are the benefits to wider society?
8. Why you? - Why are you the right person to undertake this research? How has your
background prepared you for it?
9. Training needs - What further training will you need? How will you undertake this?
10.Interest - Demonstrate a passion for your research area, through specific examples.
Your proposal must be in your own words

ü That you show you have understood what you are reading
by interpreting it in your own words;

ü That you are not just paraphrasing. Paraphrasing involves

rewriting each sentence of something you have read,
changing the wording a little bit. This is not enough to make
the material "your own words.“

ü That you show that you can interpret what the writer of an
article is saying without needing to use many of the writer’s
words;

ü That you do not quote large parts of the papers you are
reading as you write the Literature Review.
 In assessing a research proposal, supervisor will give
three most values to:

1. The logic of argument;

2. A well-focused problem statement or research

questions and set of research objectives;

3. The width and depth of the applicant’s reading.

Remember
The research proposal: Content

1. Title (not article title) 6. Research Methodology

2. Name and Institution 7. Ethical issues (if any)
3. Abstract 8. Time-scale
4. Detailed Project 9. Impact or significance of
Descriptions (Introduction, your research to the
Background to the research, Problem society
statement, Aims/objectives, research
question (s)) 10. Bibliography
5. Literature Review

 When writing your Introduction:
Tips
1. Be aware of who will be reading your manuscript and make sure
the Introduction is directed to that audience;

2. Move from general to specific: from the problem in the real world
to the literature to your research;

3. Write in the present tense except for what you did or found, which
should be in the past tense;

4. Be concise.
 Problem Formulation

“The mere formulation of a problem is far more essential than its solution,
which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skill. To
raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new
angle requires creative imagination and marks real advances in science.”
- Albert Einstein -

What is a GOOD Problem Formulation?
§ It should be interesting.

§ It is researchable and manageable.

§ It must be well formulated and precise.

§ It should state the problem requirements and

objectives.

§ It should be ethical.

§ It can be completed within the allotted time

frame.

The most challenging part of the problem formulation is to

IDENTIFY and to SPECIFY the entire REAL PROBLEM
(Osman Balci)
Problem Formulation vs Research Problem

Problem Formulation:
• Is the formulation of an existing issue which needs to be
addressed;
• It provides the context for conducting the research.

Research Problem:
• Is an investigation on the discrepancy between what is
and what ought to be;
• Is an investigation on the gap in knowledge that needs to
be filled.

LITERATURE REVIEW Where do I begin?
A literature review surveys, summarizes, and links
information about a given topic. Literature
The best literature reviews tell a good story.” – Regina Winters Review
o A good literature review assesses this information and distills it for the
reader.

o It provides context and background for your work.

o It is an essay, a synthesis of information relevant to your work.

“When you’re gathering information for your literature review,

you won’t use everything you gather – use the best of the best
of the best! ” (Regina Winters)
 What does Literature Review do?
o Clarifies understanding of the field

o Explains the rationale for your research

o Places your research within a broader context

o Evaluates the results of previous research

o Defines key concepts and ideas

o Identifies research in related areas that is generalizable or transferable to your topic

o Identifies relevant methodological issues.

“A literature review should provide a conceptual framework.” (Dean Schwartz)

 What a Literature Review is not?
o A literature review is NOT an annotated bibliography

o Annotated Bibliographies:
§ Cite various works
§ Summarize major points of those works
§ Talk about the importance of each work to the reader or larger community
§ Discuss gaps in the literature or shortcomings of the works

o Are useful tools

o Are first steps to a good literature review

o Don’t stop there!

 Research
METHODS

o Quantitative Method
Research METHODS o Qualitative Method
o Mixed Method
 01 Your proposal should outline your research
methods, explaining how you are going to

Research
conduct your research;

Methods 02 Your methods may include visiting particular

libraries or archives, field work or interviews;

03 Some studies are library-based. If your proposed

research is library-based, you should explain
where your key resources (e.g. law reports,
journal articles) are located;

04 If you plan to conduct field work or collect empirical

data, you should provide details about this (e.g.
if you plan interviews, who will you interview? How
many interviews will you conduct? Will there be
problems of access?);

05 You should also explain how you are going to

analyse your research findings
 Methods vs. Methodology
§ Do not confuse the terms "methods" and "methodology."

§ As Schneider notes:

o A method refers to the technical steps taken to do research.

Descriptions of methods usually include defining them and stating why you
have chosen specific techniques to investigate a research problem,
followed by an outline of the procedures you used to systematically select,
gather, and process the data [remember to always save the interpretation
of data for the discussion section of your paper].

o Methodology refers to a discussion of the underlying reasoning why particular methods were used.
This discussion includes describing the theoretical concepts that inform the choice of methods to be
applied, placing the choice of methods within the more general nature of academic work, and reviewing its
relevance to examining the research problem. The discussion also includes a thorough review of the
literature about methods other scholars have used to study the topic.
 How to write research methodology?
1) How to carry out the research and why?

2) Method used to collect data à must be logical and consistent

3) Decide which data/information should be gathered

4) Steps taken to collect the data

5) How to analyse the data/information being collected

Etika harus 1) Menghargai jawaban/pendapat dari para responden

dijunjung 2) Hindari metode yang bisa menyebabkan diskiminasi SARA

tinggi 3) Perlakukan para responden dengan adil

 References/Bibliography

o Your proposal should include an updated reference (bibliography)

identifying the most relevant works for your topic.

o Your references should provide a good sense of your grasp on the

literature and how you can contribute to it.

o Remember that this is not simply a bibliography listing ‘everything

written on the subject’.

o Rather, it should show critical reflection in the selection of

appropriate texts.
