How to Fix Your Academic Writing Trouble: A Practical Guide

The second edition of the book provides a clear and concise vision of why research proposals are necessary, what proposals need to include, and how to write a successful proposal. In essence, then, it offers a practical guide. But it also explains the rationale behind research proposals and, in this sense, includes a distinctive theoretical basis for research proposals that is largely overlooked by other books on the subject. This helps students by arming them with a better understanding of the task they are undertaking. The book is structured around the seven core elements of research proposals, something which gives it a distinctive identity. The logical progression from one element to the next is easy for readers to follow, each acting as a stepping stone towards the production of a well-articulated proposal. The third edition will continue to use a clear, jargon-free style of writing coupled with a visually attractive layout and the use of illustrative examples.
