  • Concept Paper

    A concept paper is a one or two-page summary of a proposed research project usually written by a university student for the department or to apply for funding. A concept paper outlines the main objective of the research, why it is important and how it will be achieved. A concept paper often precedes a full proposal and the two terms are sometimes used synonymously since they more or less perform the same function. Even if no one reads the concept paper, it can help the researcher spot flaws in the project and correct them at the conceptual stage.

While individual guidelines may vary, the format of a concept paper and many important elements remain the same.

    The following elements are indispensable when writing a concept paper:

    2. A summary of the research topic and a succinct overview of what is already known about it.
    3. A brief exposition of the main question/problem that the project seeks to answer or solve.
    4. An explanation about why it is important to answer or solve the research question/problem.
    5. A description of the methods that will be used by the researcher to answer the question or solve the problem. This includes the data that the researcher intends to gather and how they will analyse it as well as a demonstration of how the data and its analysis will answer the research question/solve the problem.
