Chapter 4 Writing Strategies and Ethical Considerations
Before designing a proposal, it is important to have an idea of the general structure or outline of the topics and
their order. The structure will differ depending on whether you write a quantitative, qualitative, or a mixed
methods project. Another general consideration is to be aware of good writing practices that will help to
ensure a consistent and highly readable proposal (or research project). Throughout the project, it is important
to engage in ethical practices and to anticipate the ethical issues prior to the study that will likely arise. This
chapter provides guidance for the overall structure of proposals or projects, writing practices that make
projects easy to read, and ethical issues that need to be anticipated in research studies.
