1. Choose a theme that interests us and many of our publications that support the theme. This is very important to support our competence in the research. Try these themes relate to our scientific publications. Publications are publications in referred journals and conferences. If you do not have the least are related to the thesis, the thesis or project we've ever done. To determine the theme if we had been long engaged in that field and has many publications, we can confidently choose a new theme based on our tastes find the appropriate professor. If the publication and the background is still a mediocre professor should seek first to be spoken for and view the publications he has to match our theme. The important thing to remember is our theme compatibility with the professors' research interests.
2. Avoid typos and grammatical errors. Error writing and grammar is something that is frustrating for a professor who read his guidance prospective student applications. To avoid this use to check spelling and grammar that we use word processing. Print and read the proposal carefully. It is a strange thing if we own our lazy to read the writing but forcing professors to read it. Strikeout if any writing errors and mark these lines. Do this at least three times to avoid wrongly written.
3. Write in clear language and avoid using too long sentences Sentence length and contains many meanings will make people lazy to read it.
4. Avoid proposals which are too long There are no clear standards regarding the number of pages, but succinct proposals that many professors are preferred because their time is indeed very busy. Some references mention no more than 2000 words. There are also references to say 60-10 pages.
5. Use the references from journals and latest articles Where possible use references of journals and articles for journals and articles more updated than the book. Will write a research scientist in an article before publishing it into a book. For this article should be cultivated among them is the article published by a supervisor that we want our supervisors are applying as a candidate. This is to show the seriousness of our interest in that field and field relationship with the professor's research. Journals can be obtained by signing up to become a member of an organization eg, IEEE (price per journal is quite expensive if you become an individual member, about 25 USD) or obtained from the campus who subscribe to the journal. Another way is to ask the journal to the authors. Some authors are willing to give away for free (rare). Or the way that most do not need capital are reading the abstracts from the journal. Actually the scientific ethics, if you mention the article, should have read the full contents of the article.
6. Be careful to quote the sentence in the literature. Plagiarism is a very taboo in the scientific world. Although the exact quotation of a sentence has been referred to the source is an act of plagiarism. Try if you refer to the literature, the sentence is the result of our analysis of these libraries, without the need to quote a single sentence in that library.
The composition of the proposal there are no basic standards referred to all agencies. Each institution and the professors have their own composition in the manufacture of the proposal. For example the following is pake layout my proposal in my research proposal:
- Project Title Brief and clear title without the word useless.
- Introduction Pointed out clearly on the core research and background belakannya.
- Literature reviews Mebahas of research ever associated with our research, point out the originality of our research in the form of improving existing methods or other matters.
- Research Objective Set goals that we can achieve. The objective must be realistic here, do not answer the open problems of origin set out in a journal, but adapted to our capabilities and facilities at the university that was aimed. Keep in mind also the work time limit such research so that the goal must be clear and achievable.
- Preliminary Work Show results that we lakukana research related to this proposal. More and more studies that support will give more value. Sort discussion by relevance.
- Methods Depending on the research conducted, can be a way of obtaining data, statistical methods, data analysis methods. If the research can be a design experiment and simulation, experimental setup, testing and modification, analysis. The core of the proposal is in this section. Try this section is the most obvious.
- Tentative Time Schedule Make clear in table
- References Compose alphabetically or according to appearance in the text. Even more common are alphabetically
Tips to write a research proposal is of course still many flaws here and there. With the experience and theories of writing a proposal that can be found in a variety of sources will certainly create opportunities for greater scholarship.
