GUIDELINES FOR CONCEPT PAPER


The following guidelines should enable you to write a concise concept paper (about 1 to 2 pages)
on a research topic that you intend to develop further and subsequently submit as your
undergraduate thesis.

Title
The title should be comprehensive enough to indicate the nature of the proposed work, but brief
and informative and meaningful to any scientist.

Summary
This should capture the whole concept paper such that it can market your research idea to a
reviewer without reference to the whole concept paper. The summary should detail the goal, the
project purpose, justification, methodologies, expected output (s), quantity of inputs required, and
projected duration of the project.

Name and contact details
Student number, course, year and section of proponent/s.

Introduction
This covers sub-sections on:

Background: Prevailing conditions that lead to identification of a problem to be researched.

Problem statement: Clearly describe circumstances justifying the research and how the
approach to be used will lead to a solution (s) in the form of information/ products that can
be applied to benefit society. Indicate your familiarity with accomplished research on the
problem and justify why the problem should be solved

Literature summary
Please include in your concept paper an up-to-date summary of the scientific literature which is
relevant for your proposed project.

Project description
Describe in logical sequence, activities that will be undertaken, how, where and when they will be
done to address the stated problem. Relate the description to clearly lead a reviewer to
understand how your methodology will lead to testing the hypothesis of your research. State the
time frame for your project.
