Guidelines in Writing a
Research Paper
Barrot and Sipacio (2016) presented
the following guidelines to come up
with a well-written concept paper.
1)Cost and
methodology should
be reasonable
2) The budget,
methodology and
timeline should be
clearly aligned
.
3) Use statistic and
figures when discussing
the rationale for the
project.
4) Use no more than
five pages (single-
spaced) excluding the
cover page. Do not
overwhelm the readers
with details.
5) Never request
funding for planning the
proposal.
6) Adjust the language to the
intended readers. You may use
technical terms if readers are
scholars and scientists. However,
refrain from using jargon when
your target readers are lay
persons.
7) Include the overview of the
budget if it is required. If not,
then skip the budget section.
In place of this , you may
simply include
Be sure that the basic format
details, such as page
numbers are incorporated
