Scope and
Delimitations
1
 What Is Scope and
Delimitation in
Research?
Scope and delimitations are two of the most important
factors to consider when writing a research paper. They
help to identify what is included in the study and what is
not. Without them, it would be difficult to know what
information is relevant and what is not.

What is the Scope of the
Study?
The scope of the study is the limits within which the
research will be conducted. In other words, it is the
boundaries of the research. The scope defines what will
be included in the study and what will not. It is
important to have a clear scope so that the research can
be focused and manageable. There are two types of
scope: inclusive and exclusive.

 Two Types of Scope:
• Inclusive Scope means that everything that falls within
the defined boundaries will be included in the research.
• Exclusive Scope means that only those things that are
specifically mentioned will be included in the research.

What are the Delimitations
of the Study?

The delimitations of the study are those factors that

will be excluded from the research. This can include
anything from the geographical area that will be
covered by the study to the specific population that
will be included. By delimiting the scope of the study,
researchers can more easily focus on the information
that is relevant to their topic.
