Abstract
You may find a broad issues unresolved and but you cannot study
everything. Get over the emotions and narrow down your topic as
much as you can and then look for relevant literature.
You need to focus on an important ( narrowed down ) topic. Frame
the research question ( a question that is researchable by available
data or information)
Make sure that you do not omit relevant or influential and latest
papers (even try to include papers done by the examiners)
Find out the weakness of the previous and recent studies or paper
published in very high quality journal.

convincing.
Good referencing also tells the reader which parts of the thesis are
Short, simple phrases, sentences and words are often better than
long and complex ones.
There will be times when you need a complicated sentence
because the idea is complicated.
Sometimes it is easier to present information and arguments as a
series of numbered points, rather than as one or more long and
awkward paragraphs. A list of points is usually easier to write.
You should be careful not to use this presentation too much:
One important stylistic choice is between the active voice and
passive voice.
Golden Rule 29
1. Start early and do not wait for a grand idea to strike or to land.
2. Keep track of everything you do by filing material (whether
digitally or not) and by keeping a diary of progress in your
research.
3. Keep back up of everything!
4. Supervisors are busy, you have to be forceful about this. Do not
be shy. They are (or are supposed to be) there to help you get
through the program.
