3. Literature review
• The literature review should clearly address the research
work related to the research problem, determine its
dimension and thereby help in answering questions like
what, why, and how.
• The literature review strongly indicative of the
investigators acquaintance with other researchers working
in the same field.

research proposal. It should be comprehensive and
contain a review of what others have found and provide
Elements of the Research Proposal
• Aim and Objectives
• Objectives are considered to be the most important part of
the proposed research and forms the basis of the proposal.
The researchers should identify the objectives accurately
and clearly.
• The objectives should be adequately addressed in detailed
manner concise, and numbered. These should relate with
information contained in the introduction and literature
review.
• Objectives should be formulated in brief phrases that are
closely linked to the problem and the proposed research
design.

• 5 Experimental Design and Research Methodology
• This section includes the experiments and procedures
which will be followed by the researcher for undertaking
the study. The different stages and phases of the research
are explained and presented in a logical manner showing
their adequacy and suitability for achieving the objectives
of the research.
