A dissertation is a large academic paper based on original research , sometimes presented as part of a doctoral, master's, or bachelor's thesis. This article will help you understand exactly what you should include in your paper.
Not all dissertations have the same structure - the form your research takes will depend on your academic discipline, topic, and approach.
For example, dissertations in the humanities are often structured like a long essay, justifying a general argument in support of a central thesis, with chapters organized around different topics or case studies.
But if you are doing empirical research in the sciences, your thesis should usually contain all of the following elements. In many cases, there will be a separate chapter for each of them, but sometimes you can combine them. The order of the chapters may also vary.
The very first page of your document contains the title of your dissertation, your name, department, institution, program of study, and date of submission. Sometimes it also includes your supervisor's name and the university logo. Many programs have strict formatting requirements for the dissertation cover page.
In the introduction, you set the topic, purpose, and relevance of the thesis and tell the reader what to expect in the rest of the thesis. In the introduction:
Define the research topic by providing the necessary background information to contextualize your work.
Narrow the focus and define the scope of the research
Discuss the state of existing research on the topic, showing the relevance of your work to a broader issue or debate
Clearly articulate your research questions and goals
Give an overview of the structure of your thesis
Everything in the introduction should be clear, engaging, and relevant to your research. By the end, the reader should understand what, why, and how you researched.
