# Thesis proposal
|
|
|
|
This is my thesis proposal document and presentation.
|
|
|
|
## How to write the proposal
|
|
|
|
The outline of a research proposal looks as follows:
|
|
1. Background
|
|
- Introduce the background information about the chosen topic
|
|
- Reading some literature is necessary, the advisor may provide some suggested literature
|
|
2. Motivation
|
|
- Clearly state the problems that need to be solved
|
|
3. Objectives
|
|
- Clearly state the objectives and expected outcomes of the research that can solve the problem
|
|
4. Tasks
|
|
- A workflow or a list showing how the objectives can be achieved and what approaches will be applied
|
|
- A Gantt chart or a time table can be used to demonstrate how the tasks will be split according to a timeline (SMART milestones)
|
|
5. References
|
|
- List references in [Vancouver](https://guides.lib.monash.edu/citing-referencing/vancouver) style with abbreviated journal names, or refer to the [NLM Guidelines](https://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/uniform_requirements.html)
|
|
|
|
> **SMART milestones**
|
|
> S = Specific - target a specific area for improvement
|
|
> M = Measurable - quantify or at least suggest an indicator of progress
|
|
> A = Assignable - specify who will do it
|
|
> R = Realistic - state what results can realistically be achieved, given available resources
|
|
> T = Time-limited - specify when the result(s) can be achieved
|
|
|
|
## Literature Research
|
|
|
|
I have used the following search queries:
