Hello there, Nics. How's your research paper going?
Hi Kim! I'm having a hard time identifying and writing the scope and delimitation of the study in my research paper.
Oh, really? I can explain it to you in the classroom if you want.
You would? Thank you! You're the best!
Scope and delimitations are two elements of a research paper. The scope details how in-depth your study is to explore the research question and the parameters in which it will operate in relation to the population and timeframe. While the delimitations of a study are the factors and variables not to be included in the investigation.
What standard question addresses a well-defined scope?
It answers the question what, why, where, when, who, and how.
A general guideline to follow when writing about scope and delimitation is to include a discussion of delimitations in the introduction to your research study, thesis, or dissertation. Delimitations, limitations, and overall scope are frequently stated using phrases like "This study covers..." and "This study does not cover..."
Examples of delimitations include: research objectives, research questions, research variables, target populations, and statistical analysis technique.
Hmm, How about the examples of delimitations in research?
So, is there anything more you would like to ask regarding the scope and delimitation of the study?
Nope, it's all crystal clear! Thank you for helping me, Kim.
