Research question/objective/hypothesis: Specify the problem/gap you have identified. What is it precisely that you are attempting to find out? A clear statement of the purpose of your research is necessary, either in the form of a hypothesis or a research question. Your research findings will be measured against your statement of research objectives, so they should be clear and achievable.

Both secondary and primary research methods should be described in as much detail as possible. Describe the techniques you plan to use to analyse the data you collect.

Practical and ethical issues: Identify any practical difficulties you may have to overcome in working on your project and gathering information, and discuss any ethical issues involved in undertaking your research.
