                                 Elements of a Research Proposal



                       Research-based paper proposal is a structured formal document that explains what you
                plan to research (your research topic), why it’s worth researching (your justification), and how you
                plan to investigate it (your practical approach). A research-based paper proposal includes these
                following elements.
