The research journey commences with the selection of a research topic and the preparation of a proposal on the selected topic.

The purpose of this book is to provide the students with an overview of how to write an effective and scholarly research proposal and dissertation by discussing the essential ingredients required in scientific research. As a supervisor of both undergraduate and graduate students, I can attest that most students face a huge challenge in selecting their research topic resulting in delays in completing their dissertation journey. From the students' point of view, this book endeavors to explore the challenges faced by both undergraduate and graduate students when they are writing their research proposal and research project and how to mitigate those challenges in order to accomplish their academic goals. In a nutshell, the book endeavors to provide the students with the tips for writing a quality dissertation to enable them graduate without any hassle.
