How It Works
The tool lays out the standard academic research-proposal structure used across most disciplines — Title, Introduction/Background, Statement of the Problem, Objectives of the Study, Research Questions/Hypotheses, Significance of the Study, Scope and Limitations, a brief Literature Review, Methodology, and References — with plain-language guidance for what belongs in each section. This structure itself is a widely used generic academic convention, not a DELSU-specific policy. For the Objectives and Research Questions sections, it also fills in numbered, topic-derived draft sentences (e.g. 'To examine [your topic] within the context of [your field]') that you replace with your own, more specific objectives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this DELSU's official proposal format?+
No. This is a widely used, generic academic research-proposal structure common across universities, not an official DELSU document. Always check your department's or supervisor's specific formatting requirements (section order, headings, page limits) before submitting.
Can I submit the generated objectives and research questions directly?+
No — they're deliberately generic placeholder sentences built from your topic and field, meant to show you the pattern and give you a starting draft. Rewrite them to reflect the specific, measurable objectives and questions your actual study will address.
Does this write my literature review or methodology for me?+
No. It only gives you guidance on what each of those sections should cover — you still need to research and write the actual content, including citing real sources for your literature review and describing your specific research design for your methodology.
Can I copy this outline into Word or Google Docs?+
Yes — use the 'Copy as text' button to copy the full outline (headings, guidance, and draft text) as plain text, which you can paste into any document editor and format as needed.
