The research report should be in five parts. References should be used in literature review and methods. The discussion and conclusion should link to relevant studies mentioned in the literature review and possibly introduce new studies that explain a deviation from existing literature.
1. The Introduction provides a broad overview of the study including the outcomes. References
are needed in this section. (approximately 5% of the word count)
2. The Literature review leads to a research gap and Research Questions (RQs). References are
needed in this section. (approximately 30% of the word count)
3. The methods explain the choice of data collection tools, sampling, and method of analysis.
References are needed in this section. You should reference previous studies and relevant course literature on research methods. (approximately 15% of the word count)
4. The Findings should present the results with little or no explanation. Typically, the findings
can be organised by RQ. (approximately 30% of the word count)
5. The discussion and conclusion should explain how the results link to the literature. References
are needed in this section. (approximately 15% of the word count)
