HOW TO MAKE A CONCEPT PAPER

1. Come up with a research topic that
genuinely interests you.

Writing a concept paper is the first step in writing your research project. A winning
concept paper will capture the attention of whoever is reading it and get you the results
you need.
2. Write down the research questions you need to
research on depending on the idea you have
chosen.

You can come up with as many questions as possible. The more the questions, the longer
your research paper will be, as it will seek to answer to each of them. The questions can
range from:
 Exploratory questions, where you want to find out more about the topic under study,
 Explanatory question, where your aim is to explore the relationship or lack there of
between two or more variables and
 Descriptive questions such as determining the averages, means, and modes of a
variable or variables in the topic under study.
3. Develop a research hypothesis from each of the
research questions that you have listed.

A hypothesis, also known as a thesis or theses in plural, is a tentative, usually informed

or educated guess about a certain scenario.
4. Identify the kind of data you need to answer
these hypothetical questions and how you will
gather the data.

 Depending on the type of research you are carrying out, data that you may need may
include actual numbers, averages, and so on. Data can either be primary or
secondary, qualitative or quantitative.
 Primary data is first-hand information obtained from the ground, for example, by
carrying out interviews and site visits.
 Secondary data is second-hand information obtained from reading books, watching
news, videos, the internet, and other already documented material.
 Qualitative data is based on subjective factors such as people’s opinions, while
quantitative data is based on actual numbers and is, therefore, more objective.
5. Identify how you will analyze, interpret, and
present the data

Come up with conclusive and tangible evidence to prove or disprove all the hypotheses
you had stated earlier. Methods of data analysis include the use of statistical analysis
such as mean, totals, income, or the general relationship between variables which can be
enhanced by the use of graphical methods where possible.
