History of the research (Who did what in this area?) Objectives (ie, tasks) research (Will do?) Object (where would I do?, What a social community will I do?) Scope of the study (Area to do?) Scientific issues (questions should be answered in the study?) Hypothesis (What is my basic argument?) Proving Methods : proving by Theories, ie, given "theoretical basis" experiment • Justification of results • Conclusion and recommendation about the results 2- Part 2, outline of the thesis, includes the following chapters: • Beginning Chapter Reasons for research History of research Subjects of study Scope of Research Research hypothesis and methods of proving the hypothesis • Chapter About the contents for proving the hypothesis (ie scientific arguments) by theory: what concepts should need to clarify?, what type of science that its theory basis is used to prove the hypothesis Chapters 2, 3, • Introduction to proving part by methods of practical observation, expert interviews, scientific conferences and experiment • This chapter can be divided into some chapters depending on practical research activities Conclusions and recommendations TYPE2 ® COMPONENT • Front cover • • • • • • Title page Dedication (optional) Abstract Acknowledgements (optional) Table of contents List of symbols, abbreviations (if needed) • List of tables and figures đ COMPONENT ã Introduction ã Literature Review • Materials and Methods or Methodology • Results • Discussion • Conclusions and Recommendations References Appendices • ABSTRACT • INTRODUCTION Maximally one page No literature references • TABLE OF CONTENTS Automatically generated by WORD Avoid too much sub-splitting of the chapters Serves to attract the reader’s attention Be brief and to the point Start broad scope of research, then become more specific End with aims/objectives of the study • LITERATURE REVIEW • • Literature survey on your and related topics Integration of literature Not all literature you have read should be in Do not copy large text fragments If copy, give correct reference (avoid plagiary) MATERIALS AND METHODS Be systematic and precise, so that others can exactly copy your experiments Follow logic, chronological order (sampling, preservation, analysis, data handling) For standard procedures, refer to literature Include information on type of equipment, chemicals etc Correct chemical names, species names (in Latin and in italics), use SI system • RESULTS Comprehensive and coherent on its own Do not present literature Indicate what the results are showing Negative results are also results! Relate text logically with Tables/Figures Present in clear tables/figures Not too much information at one time Graphs are preferred above tables Include appropriate statistical parameters Detailed tables of all data Appendices • DISCUSSION Preferably separate from results Critically discuss your own results, also in relation with existing literature Most difficult part Not necessarily follow the order of the results; choose your own logic Refer to tables and figures in results, but not repeat the Results section Dare to discuss your own idea • CONCLUCTION AND RECOMMENDATIONS List the main conclusions Limit yourself (maximally 4) Two types of recommendations For further studies For advise to externals (e.g politicians) • REFERENCES Use Harvard style: In text: surnames + year In reference list: alphabetically • Double check: All literature in text ► also in reference list All items in reference list ► also in text Be consistent Use endnote • APPENDIX For all information not directly relevant • Unprocessed results • Detailed description of a model • Interview reports • • GENERAL REMARKS • • • • BS reports are not Lecture Notes Be concise!
