This is the final chapter of your dissertation and the most unique of them all. Before this, most of the chapters can easily be written following a template with strict requirements for each section. However, this chapter is the one where you get to be individualistic the most. Your goal in this final chapter is to inform the reader of what your results are and what they mean. You emphasize the key points to take away from the fundamental research youve done. You describe how your results can help others both in the real world and in further research in the field. You are free to state your opinion on your results and draw your own conclusions.
This chapter aims to remind your reader of your findings from the previous chapters, summarize your interpretations, and illustrate how your research will affect the current understanding of the field and its practical applications.
This chapter is crucial to tying up your arguments and solidifying your research work. Everything youve written till now builds up to this chapter, where you conclude by giving the strongest and most important statement that highlights the outcome of the study.
One of the biggest mistakes often made when writing Chapter 5 is not including enough thoughts about the research. It is easy to find a research work with more than a hundred pages with only three paragraphs in the implications in Chapter 5. Avoid this mistake! Explain your work and its applications and implications in detail. This is why you use all your intellect and help the reader understand your objectives and why its important. Dont undersell your research.
Another mistake, apart from writing too little in the conclusion, is writing laborious summaries of the preceding chapters. Although the conclusion needs to review the preceding information, it should be done neatly and concisely, not in lengthy rants that take up your readers time. The summary is to provide a framework and context for the main bulk of the chapter.
Another common mistake is introducing new material in this section. This can be confusing for your reader. Any information needed to make the concluding case should have been introduced earlier. Any new argument you want to make for your thesis should be included in the discussion section instead. Bringing up new material in the concluding section gives the impression that you are too lazy to go back to make the needed adjustments.
Another mistake amateurs, and even some professionals, tend to make is not including an analysis of the research limitations. Making a note of the limitations of the research shows that you have a good grasp of the research topic, and youve fully considered the overall picture. You dont need to overstate the weaknesses of your research, though include clear statements of what the research does and doesnt do.
Exaggerating your claims, or underestimating your claims, is also another common mistake.
– In the introduction of this chapter, restate briefly and succinctly the problem and purposes statements of your research. Reference the results from the preceding chapter. State what the reader should expect in the chapter by giving a brief outline.
– The summary aims to refresh the readers understanding of the results from chapter 4. Dont explain in detail; highlight the main points. Make your summary straight to the point. Make use of the past tense in writing this section.
– Defend your belief in your findings what you found in your research and what you didnt find. Mention your thoughts on the possible factors affecting your findings stated in the Summary section. If the result was not what you were expecting, you must still explain why your methodology did not produce the findings you expected. List the research questions stated in the introductory chapter and answer them with your findings.
– This section should illustrate how the results of your study will add to the existing body of knowledge on the concepts addressed in your research. Acknowledge the perspectives of others who share the same or similar views as those indicated in your research. Compare and contrast your research findings with the results of other researchers. Outline how your study has contributed to your theoretical framework and how it could affect the theoretical discourse, if applicable. Indicate how your research findings can significantly impact the general field and the broad implications of that.
– In your conclusion, you must relate the research questions and objectives to the existing knowledge and the significance of the study. You can freely state your personal opinion on the collected data.
– The recommendations can either be for further study or change or both. The recommendations should be based on your findings and could include practical, real-world suggestions.
The references should follow the format of a specific style guide. List the name and year of publication for every reference in this section.
– Include letters of permission, invitation and consent forms, as well as data collection instruments.
Writing this final chapter and defending your dissertation is a huge step towards achieving your goal. The tips above will prove helpful as you tackle the challenge. You could also benefit from having a coach to guide you through this process.
What goes in the discussion chapter of a dissertation.
In the discussion , you explore the meaning and relevance of your research results , explaining how they fit with existing research and theory. Discuss:
Your interpretations : what do the results tell us?
The implications : why do the results matter?
The limitation s : what can’t the results tell us?
Frequently asked questions: Dissertation
Dissertation word counts vary widely across different fields, institutions, and levels of education:
An undergraduate dissertation is typically 8,000–15,000 words
A master’s dissertation is typically 12,000–50,000 words
A PhD thesis is typically book-length: 70,000–100,000 words
However, none of these are strict guidelines – your word count may be lower or higher than the numbers stated here. Always check the guidelines provided by your university to determine how long your own dissertation should be.
A dissertation prospectus or proposal describes what or who you plan to research for your dissertation. It delves into why, when, where, and how you will do your research, as well as helps you choose a type of research to pursue. You should also determine whether you plan to pursue qualitative or quantitative methods and what your research design will look like.
It should outline all of the decisions you have taken about your project, from your dissertation topic to your hypotheses and research objectives , ready to be approved by your supervisor or committee.
Note that some departments require a defense component, where you present your prospectus to your committee orally.
A thesis is typically written by students finishing up a bachelor’s or Master’s degree. Some educational institutions, particularly in the liberal arts, have mandatory theses, but they are often not mandatory to graduate from bachelor’s degrees. It is more common for a thesis to be a graduation requirement from a Master’s degree.
Even if not mandatory, you may want to consider writing a thesis if you:
Plan to attend graduate school soon
Have a particular topic you’d like to study more in-depth
Are considering a career in research
Would like a capstone experience to tie up your academic experience
The conclusion of your thesis or dissertation should include the following:
A restatement of your research question
A summary of your key arguments and/or results
A short discussion of the implications of your research
The conclusion of your thesis or dissertation shouldn’t take up more than 5–7% of your overall word count.
For a stronger dissertation conclusion , avoid including:
Important evidence or analysis that wasn’t mentioned in the discussion section and results section
Weak statements that undermine your argument (e.g., “There are good points on both sides of this issue.”)
Your conclusion should leave the reader with a strong, decisive impression of your work.
While it may be tempting to present new arguments or evidence in your thesis or disseration conclusion , especially if you have a particularly striking argument you’d like to finish your analysis with, you shouldn’t. Theses and dissertations follow a more formal structure than this.
All your findings and arguments should be presented in the body of the text (more specifically in the discussion section and results section .) The conclusion is meant to summarize and reflect on the evidence and arguments you have already presented, not introduce new ones.
A theoretical framework can sometimes be integrated into a literature review chapter , but it can also be included as its own chapter or section in your dissertation . As a rule of thumb, if your research involves dealing with a lot of complex theories, it’s a good idea to include a separate theoretical framework chapter.
A literature review and a theoretical framework are not the same thing and cannot be used interchangeably. While a theoretical framework describes the theoretical underpinnings of your work, a literature review critically evaluates existing research relating to your topic. You’ll likely need both in your dissertation .
While a theoretical framework describes the theoretical underpinnings of your work based on existing research, a conceptual framework allows you to draw your own conclusions, mapping out the variables you may use in your study and the interplay between them.
A thesis or dissertation outline is one of the most critical first steps in your writing process. It helps you to lay out and organize your ideas and can provide you with a roadmap for deciding what kind of research you’d like to undertake.
Generally, an outline contains information on the different sections included in your thesis or dissertation , such as:
Your anticipated title
Your abstract
Your chapters (sometimes subdivided into further topics like literature review , research methods , avenues for future research, etc.)
When you mention different chapters within your text, it’s considered best to use Roman numerals for most citation styles. However, the most important thing here is to remain consistent whenever using numbers in your dissertation .
In most styles, the title page is used purely to provide information and doesn’t include any images. Ask your supervisor if you are allowed to include an image on the title page before doing so. If you do decide to include one, make sure to check whether you need permission from the creator of the image.
Include a note directly beneath the image acknowledging where it comes from, beginning with the word “ Note .” (italicized and followed by a period). Include a citation and copyright attribution . Don’t title, number, or label the image as a figure , since it doesn’t appear in your main text.
Definitional terms often fall into the category of common knowledge , meaning that they don’t necessarily have to be cited. This guidance can apply to your thesis or dissertation glossary as well.
However, if you’d prefer to cite your sources , you can follow guidance for citing dictionary entries in MLA or APA style for your glossary.
A glossary is a collection of words pertaining to a specific topic. In your thesis or dissertation, it’s a list of all terms you used that may not immediately be obvious to your reader. In contrast, an index is a list of the contents of your work organized by page number.
The title page of your thesis or dissertation goes first, before all other content or lists that you may choose to include.
The title page of your thesis or dissertation should include your name, department, institution, degree program, and submission date.
Glossaries are not mandatory, but if you use a lot of technical or field-specific terms, it may improve readability to add one to your thesis or dissertation. Your educational institution may also require them, so be sure to check their specific guidelines.
A glossary or “glossary of terms” is a collection of words pertaining to a specific topic. In your thesis or dissertation, it’s a list of all terms you used that may not immediately be obvious to your reader. Your glossary only needs to include terms that your reader may not be familiar with, and is intended to enhance their understanding of your work.
A glossary is a collection of words pertaining to a specific topic. In your thesis or dissertation, it’s a list of all terms you used that may not immediately be obvious to your reader. In contrast, dictionaries are more general collections of words.
An abbreviation is a shortened version of an existing word, such as Dr. for Doctor. In contrast, an acronym uses the first letter of each word to create a wholly new word, such as UNESCO (an acronym for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).
As a rule of thumb, write the explanation in full the first time you use an acronym or abbreviation. You can then proceed with the shortened version. However, if the abbreviation is very common (like PC, USA, or DNA), then you can use the abbreviated version from the get-go.
Be sure to add each abbreviation in your list of abbreviations !
If you only used a few abbreviations in your thesis or dissertation , you don’t necessarily need to include a list of abbreviations .
If your abbreviations are numerous, or if you think they won’t be known to your audience, it’s never a bad idea to add one. They can also improve readability, minimizing confusion about abbreviations unfamiliar to your reader.
A list of abbreviations is a list of all the abbreviations that you used in your thesis or dissertation. It should appear at the beginning of your document, with items in alphabetical order, just after your table of contents .
Your list of tables and figures should go directly after your table of contents in your thesis or dissertation.
Lists of figures and tables are often not required, and aren’t particularly common. They specifically aren’t required for APA-Style, though you should be careful to follow their other guidelines for figures and tables .
If you have many figures and tables in your thesis or dissertation, include one may help you stay organized. Your educational institution may require them, so be sure to check their guidelines.
A list of figures and tables compiles all of the figures and tables that you used in your thesis or dissertation and displays them with the page number where they can be found.
The table of contents in a thesis or dissertation always goes between your abstract and your introduction .
You may acknowledge God in your dissertation acknowledgements , but be sure to follow academic convention by also thanking the members of academia, as well as family, colleagues, and friends who helped you.
A literature review is a survey of credible sources on a topic, often used in dissertations , theses, and research papers . Literature reviews give an overview of knowledge on a subject, helping you identify relevant theories and methods, as well as gaps in existing research. Literature reviews are set up similarly to other academic texts , with an introduction , a main body, and a conclusion .
An annotated bibliography is a list of source references that has a short description (called an annotation ) for each of the sources. It is often assigned as part of the research process for a paper .
In a thesis or dissertation, the discussion is an in-depth exploration of the results, going into detail about the meaning of your findings and citing relevant sources to put them in context.
The conclusion is more shorter and more general: it concisely answers your main research question and makes recommendations based on your overall findings.
The results chapter or section simply and objectively reports what you found, without speculating on why you found these results. The discussion interprets the meaning of the results, puts them in context, and explains why they matter.
In qualitative research , results and discussion are sometimes combined. But in quantitative research , it’s considered important to separate the objective results from your interpretation of them.
Results are usually written in the past tense , because they are describing the outcome of completed actions.
The results chapter of a thesis or dissertation presents your research results concisely and objectively.
In quantitative research , for each question or hypothesis , state:
The type of analysis used
Relevant results in the form of descriptive and inferential statistics
Whether or not the alternative hypothesis was supported
In qualitative research , for each question or theme, describe:
Recurring patterns
Significant or representative individual responses
Relevant quotations from the data
Don’t interpret or speculate in the results chapter.
To automatically insert a table of contents in Microsoft Word, follow these steps:
Apply heading styles throughout the document.
In the references section in the ribbon, locate the Table of Contents group.
Click the arrow next to the Table of Contents icon and select Custom Table of Contents.
Select which levels of headings you would like to include in the table of contents.
Make sure to update your table of contents if you move text or change headings. To update, simply right click and select Update Field.
All level 1 and 2 headings should be included in your table of contents . That means the titles of your chapters and the main sections within them.
The contents should also include all appendices and the lists of tables and figures, if applicable, as well as your reference list .
Do not include the acknowledgements or abstract in the table of contents.
The abstract appears on its own page in the thesis or dissertation , after the title page and acknowledgements but before the table of contents .
An abstract for a thesis or dissertation is usually around 200–300 words. There’s often a strict word limit, so make sure to check your university’s requirements.
In a thesis or dissertation, the acknowledgements should usually be no longer than one page. There is no minimum length.
The acknowledgements are generally included at the very beginning of your thesis , directly after the title page and before the abstract .
Yes, it’s important to thank your supervisor(s) in the acknowledgements section of your thesis or dissertation .
Even if you feel your supervisor did not contribute greatly to the final product, you must acknowledge them, if only for a very brief thank you. If you do not include your supervisor, it may be seen as a snub.
In the acknowledgements of your thesis or dissertation, you should first thank those who helped you academically or professionally, such as your supervisor, funders, and other academics.
Then you can include personal thanks to friends, family members, or anyone else who supported you during the process.

The best landing spots in fortnite chapter 5 season 4, how to complete fortnite mobile app quests & get free rewards.
In Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 , players can obtain three different Medallions, all of which have unique gameplay effects. Unlike the other weapons and utility items players can find on the Fortnite island, Medallions are unique. Only one of each drops per match and each grants the holder powerful passive abilities. However, holding a Medallion can also prove risky.
To get a Medallion, players either need to defeat one of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4's NPC Bosses , or steal it by eliminating a player carrying a Medallion. There are a total of three Medallions: Emma Frost's Reveal Medallion, Mysterio's Stealth Medallion, and Doombot's Siphon Medallion. The three Bosses can be found at this season's new Points of Interest.
Players have many excellent landing spots to choose from in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4, ranging from old favorites to new locations from Marvel lore.
What Do Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4's New Medallions Do?
All of this season's new medallions.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 features three Medallions, as listed in the table below:
Name
Effect
Location
Emma Frost's Reveal Medallion
Occasionally marks nearby enemies for a short duration.
Claimed by defeating Emma Frost at The Raft.
Mysterio's Stealth Medallion
Activate cloaking (invisibility) when crouched. Ends when player stands up or attacks.
Claimed by defeating Mysterio at Doomstadt
Doombot's Siphon Medallion
Grants Siphon (regenerate health and shields on eliminations)
Claimed by defeating Doombot at Castle Doom.
It's often worth the effort to challenge and defeat one of the Bosses to obtain a Medallion. However, players should be well-prepared for a boss fight, as they can be formidable foes. Collecting gear from Dr. Doom and Avengers chests is highly recommended, as these special chests often drop high-quality gear.
Players should take advantage of new seasonal items such as War Machine's Arsenal and old favorites such as Captain America's Shield when fighting bosses and other players. Seasonal items in Fortnite tend to be meta-defining and often have high damage outputs and other useful qualities.
Players should also be aware that each Medallion has a negative effect. T he location of each Medallion is permanently marked on other players' maps, making it incredibly easy to track down and eliminate a Medallion holder. As such, players will need to decide whether the passive benefits of holding a Medallion are worth the risk of becoming a permanently marked target.
However, it's arguable that most Fortnite players would benefit from holding a Medallion, as each Medallion effect is designed to allow the holder to rapidly turn the tables on any opponent. A Medallion holder who also manages to claim Mythic-quality Boss weapons can be extremely tough to beat, even for their most skilled opponents.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 battle pass skins list, including Gwenpool, Peelverine, Mysterio, and Shuri
Meet this season’s roster of unlockable characters
by Matthew Reynolds
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 battle pass skins are all themed around Marvel.
Headliners include Gwenpool, Emma Frost, Mysterio, superhero-themed takes of Fortnite favorites Peely and Jonesy, and “tier 100” skin Shuri.
Also joining the roster at a later date is Doctor Doom , timed nicely with the recent announcement of the character’s upcoming appearance in the MCU . Similar to Metal Gear Solid’s Solid Snake , The Witcher’s Geralt , and Indiana Jones from previous seasons, this will be available mid-season, and will require its own set of challenges to unlock.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 skins list: How many skins are in the battle pass?
There are seven battle pass skins available on day one — each with multiple styles — as well as an eighth skin coming mid-season.
The complete Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 skins list is as follows, in the order they unlock:
War Machine
Captain Jones
Doctor Doom (available mid-season)
To get the above skins, you must first purchase the battle pass, earn XP to unlock levels, and progress to their respective tiers before the season ends.
What follows is a closer look at each skin, as well as any unlockable styles available through further battle pass unlocks or quest rewards.
Gwenpool skin and unlockable styles
Found on Page 1, automatically unlocked for battle pass holders:
Unlockable style: Gwendolyn Poole (reach level 8):
A third unlockable style is likely to be revealed later in the season (around Sept. 5).
Illusory Mysterio (bonus after completing battle pass):
Shuri skin and unlockable styles
Found on Page 13, Shuri requires reaching level 86:
Unlockable style via the “Take the Mantle” emote (reach level 94):
Unlockable style: Wakanda Royal Shuri (bonus reward after completing battle pass):
As well as all the above, a reminder there is also mid-season skin Doctor Doom . Though this requires a battle pass purchase, it will be unlocked with its own specific set of challenges released at a later date, and not through leveling the battle pass as per the skins above.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 battle pass skin Lego styles
Along with the above battle royale mode skins, all Chapter 5 Season 4 battle pass skins have a Lego Fortnite variant, which you can view in the gallery below:
Best of luck getting the skins you want before the season ends!

How To Write A Dissertation Introduction
A Simple Explainer With Examples + Free Template
By: Derek Jansen (MBA) | Reviewed By Dr Eunice Rautenbach (D. Tech) | March 2020
If you’re reading this, you’re probably at the daunting early phases of writing up the introduction chapter of your dissertation or thesis. It can be intimidating, I know.
In this post, we’ll look at the 7 essential ingredients of a strong dissertation or thesis introduction chapter, as well as the essential things you need to keep in mind as you craft each section. We’ll also share some useful tips to help you optimize your approach.
Overview: Writing An Introduction Chapter
The purpose and function of the intro chapter
Craft an enticing and engaging opening section
Provide a background and context to the study
Clearly define the research problem
State your research aims, objectives and questions
Explain the significance of your study
Identify the limitations of your research
Outline the structure of your dissertation or thesis
A quick sidenote:
You’ll notice that I’ve used the words dissertation and thesis interchangeably. While these terms reflect different levels of research – for example, Masters vs PhD-level research – the introduction chapter generally contains the same 7 essential ingredients regardless of level. So, in this post, dissertation introduction equals thesis introduction.
Start with why.
To craft a high-quality dissertation or thesis introduction chapter, you need to understand exactly what this chapter needs to achieve. In other words, what’s its purpose ? As the name suggests, the introduction chapter needs to introduce the reader to your research so that they understand what you’re trying to figure out, or what problem you’re trying to solve. More specifically, you need to answer four important questions in your introduction chapter.
These questions are:
What will you be researching? (in other words, your research topic)
Why is that worthwhile? (in other words, your justification)
What will the scope of your research be? (in other words, what will you cover and what won’t you cover)
What will the limitations of your research be? (in other words, what will the potential shortcomings of your research be?)
Simply put, your dissertation’s introduction chapter needs to provide an overview of your planned research , as well as a clear rationale for it. In other words, this chapter has to explain the “what” and the “why” of your research – what’s it all about and why’s that important.
Simple enough, right?
Well, the trick is finding the appropriate depth of information. As the researcher, you’ll be extremely close to your topic and this makes it easy to get caught up in the minor details. While these intricate details might be interesting, you need to write your introduction chapter on more of a “need-to-know” type basis, or it will end up way too lengthy and dense. You need to balance painting a clear picture with keeping things concise. Don’t worry though – you’ll be able to explore all the intricate details in later chapters.
Now that you understand what you need to achieve from your introduction chapter, we can get into the details. While the exact requirements for this chapter can vary from university to university, there are seven core components that most universities will require. We call these the seven essential ingredients .
The 7 Essential Ingredients
The opening section – where you’ll introduce the reader to your research in high-level terms
The background to the study – where you’ll explain the context of your project
The research problem – where you’ll explain the “gap” that exists in the current research
The research aims , objectives and questions – where you’ll clearly state what your research will aim to achieve
The significance (or justification) – where you’ll explain why your research is worth doing and the value it will provide to the world
The limitations – where you’ll acknowledge the potential limitations of your project and approach
The structure – where you’ll briefly outline the structure of your dissertation or thesis to help orient the reader
By incorporating these seven essential ingredients into your introduction chapter, you’ll comprehensively cover both the “ what ” and the “ why ” I mentioned earlier – in other words, you’ll achieve the purpose of the chapter.
Side note – you can also use these 7 ingredients in this order as the structure for your chapter to ensure a smooth, logical flow. This isn’t essential, but, generally speaking, it helps create an engaging narrative that’s easy for your reader to understand. If you’d like, you can also download our free introduction chapter template here.
Alright – let’s look at each of the ingredients now.
#1 – The Opening Section
The very first essential ingredient for your dissertation introduction is, well, an introduction or opening section. Just like every other chapter, your introduction chapter needs to start by providing a brief overview of what you’ll be covering in the chapter.
This section needs to engage the reader with clear, concise language that can be easily understood and digested. If the reader (your marker!) has to struggle through it, they’ll lose interest, which will make it harder for you to earn marks. Just because you’re writing an academic paper doesn’t mean you can ignore the basic principles of engaging writing used by marketers, bloggers, and journalists. At the end of the day, you’re all trying to sell an idea – yours is just a research idea.
So, what goes into this opening section?
Well, while there’s no set formula, it’s a good idea to include the following four foundational sentences in your opening section:
1 – A sentence or two introducing the overall field of your research.
For example:
“Organisational skills development involves identifying current or potential skills gaps within a business and developing programs to resolve these gaps. Management research, including X, Y and Z, has clearly established that organisational skills development is an essential contributor to business growth.”
2 – A sentence introducing your specific research problem.
“However, there are conflicting views and an overall lack of research regarding how best to manage skills development initiatives in highly dynamic environments where subject knowledge is rapidly and continuously evolving – for example, in the website development industry.”
3 – A sentence stating your research aims and objectives.
“This research aims to identify and evaluate skills development approaches and strategies for highly dynamic industries in which subject knowledge is continuously evolving.”.
4 – A sentence outlining the layout of the chapter.
“This chapter will provide an introduction to the study by first discussing the background and context, followed by the research problem, the research aims, objectives and questions, the significance and finally, the limitations.”
As I mentioned, this opening section of your introduction chapter shouldn’t be lengthy . Typically, these four sentences should fit neatly into one or two paragraphs, max. What you’re aiming for here is a clear, concise introduction to your research – not a detailed account.
PS – If some of this terminology sounds unfamiliar, don’t stress – I’ll explain each of the concepts later in this post.
#2 – Background to the study
Now that you’ve provided a high-level overview of your dissertation or thesis, it’s time to go a little deeper and lay a foundation for your research topic. This foundation is what the second ingredient is all about – the background to your study.
So, what is the background section all about?
Well, this section of your introduction chapter should provide a broad overview of the topic area that you’ll be researching, as well as the current contextual factors . This could include, for example, a brief history of the topic, recent developments in the area, key pieces of research in the area and so on. In other words, in this section, you need to provide the relevant background information to give the reader a decent foundational understanding of your research area.
Let’s look at an example to make this a little more concrete.
If we stick with the skills development topic I mentioned earlier, the background to the study section would start by providing an overview of the skills development area and outline the key existing research. Then, it would go on to discuss how the modern-day context has created a new challenge for traditional skills development strategies and approaches. Specifically, that in many industries, technical knowledge is constantly and rapidly evolving, and traditional education providers struggle to keep up with the pace of new technologies.
Importantly, you need to write this section with the assumption that the reader is not an expert in your topic area. So, if there are industry-specific jargon and complex terminology, you should briefly explain that here , so that the reader can understand the rest of your document.
Don’t make assumptions about the reader’s knowledge – in most cases, your markers will not be able to ask you questions if they don’t understand something. So, always err on the safe side and explain anything that’s not common knowledge.
#3 – The research problem
Now that you’ve given your reader an overview of your research area, it’s time to get specific about the research problem that you’ll address in your dissertation or thesis. While the background section would have alluded to a potential research problem (or even multiple research problems), the purpose of this section is to narrow the focus and highlight the specific research problem you’ll focus on.
But, what exactly is a research problem, you ask?
Well, a research problem can be any issue or question for which there isn’t already a well-established and agreed-upon answer in the existing research. In other words, a research problem exists when there’s a need to answer a question (or set of questions), but there’s a gap in the existing literature , or the existing research is conflicting and/or inconsistent.
So, to present your research problem, you need to make it clear what exactly is missing in the current literature and why this is a problem . It’s usually a good idea to structure this discussion into three sections – specifically:
What’s already well-established in the literature (in other words, the current state of research)
What’s missing in the literature (in other words, the literature gap)
Why this is a problem (in other words, why it’s important to fill this gap)
Let’s look at an example of this structure using the skills development topic.
Organisational skills development is critically important for employee satisfaction and company performance (reference). Numerous studies have investigated strategies and approaches to manage skills development programs within organisations (reference).
(this paragraph explains what’s already well-established in the literature)
However, these studies have traditionally focused on relatively slow-paced industries where key skills and knowledge do not change particularly often. This body of theory presents a problem for industries that face a rapidly changing skills landscape – for example, the website development industry – where new platforms, languages and best practices emerge on an extremely frequent basis.
(this paragraph explains what’s missing from the literature)
As a result, the existing research is inadequate for industries in which essential knowledge and skills are constantly and rapidly evolving, as it assumes a slow pace of knowledge development. Industries in such environments, therefore, find themselves ill-equipped in terms of skills development strategies and approaches.
(this paragraph explains why the research gap is problematic)
As you can see in this example, in a few lines, we’ve explained (1) the current state of research, (2) the literature gap and (3) why that gap is problematic. By doing this, the research problem is made crystal clear, which lays the foundation for the next ingredient.
#4 – The research aims, objectives and questions
Now that you’ve clearly identified your research problem, it’s time to identify your research aims and objectives , as well as your research questions . In other words, it’s time to explain what you’re going to do about the research problem.
So, what do you need to do here?
Well, the starting point is to clearly state your research aim (or aims) . The research aim is the main goal or the overarching purpose of your dissertation or thesis. In other words, it’s a high-level statement of what you’re aiming to achieve.
Let’s look at an example, sticking with the skills development topic:
“Given the lack of research regarding organisational skills development in fast-moving industries, this study will aim to identify and evaluate the skills development approaches utilised by web development companies in the UK”.
As you can see in this example, the research aim is clearly outlined, as well as the specific context in which the research will be undertaken (in other words, web development companies in the UK).
Next up is the research objective (or objectives) . While the research aims cover the high-level “what”, the research objectives are a bit more practically oriented, looking at specific things you’ll be doing to achieve those research aims.
Let’s take a look at an example of some research objectives (ROs) to fit the research aim.
RO1 – To identify common skills development strategies and approaches utilised by web development companies in the UK.
RO2 – To evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies and approaches.
RO3 – To compare and contrast these strategies and approaches in terms of their strengths and weaknesses.
As you can see from this example, these objectives describe the actions you’ll take and the specific things you’ll investigate in order to achieve your research aims. They break down the research aims into more specific, actionable objectives.
The final step is to state your research questions . Your research questions bring the aims and objectives another level “down to earth”. These are the specific questions that your dissertation or theses will seek to answer. They’re not fluffy, ambiguous or conceptual – they’re very specific and you’ll need to directly answer them in your conclusions chapter .
The research questions typically relate directly to the research objectives and sometimes can look a bit obvious, but they are still extremely important. Let’s take a look at an example of the research questions (RQs) that would flow from the research objectives I mentioned earlier.
RQ1 – What skills development strategies and approaches are currently being used by web development companies in the UK?
RQ2 – How effective are each of these strategies and approaches?
RQ3 – What are the strengths and weaknesses of each of these strategies and approaches?
As you can see, the research questions mimic the research objectives , but they are presented in question format. These questions will act as the driving force throughout your dissertation or thesis – from the literature review to the methodology and onward – so they’re really important.
A final note about this section – it’s really important to be clear about the scope of your study (more technically, the delimitations ). In other words, what you WILL cover and what you WON’T cover. If your research aims, objectives and questions are too broad, you’ll risk losing focus or investigating a problem that is too big to solve within a single dissertation.
Simply put, you need to establish clear boundaries in your research. You can do this, for example, by limiting it to a specific industry, country or time period. That way, you’ll ringfence your research, which will allow you to investigate your topic deeply and thoroughly – which is what earns marks!

#5 – Significance
Now that you’ve made it clear what you’ll be researching, it’s time to make a strong argument regarding your study’s importance and significance . In other words, now that you’ve covered the what, it’s time to cover the why – enter essential ingredient number 5 – significance.
Of course, by this stage, you’ve already briefly alluded to the importance of your study in your background and research problem sections, but you haven’t explicitly stated how your research findings will benefit the world . So, now’s your chance to clearly state how your study will benefit either industry , academia , or – ideally – both . In other words, you need to explain how your research will make a difference and what implications it will have .
Let’s take a look at an example.
“This study will contribute to the body of knowledge on skills development by incorporating skills development strategies and approaches for industries in which knowledge and skills are rapidly and constantly changing. This will help address the current shortage of research in this area and provide real-world value to organisations operating in such dynamic environments.”
As you can see in this example, the paragraph clearly explains how the research will help fill a gap in the literature and also provide practical real-world value to organisations.
This section doesn’t need to be particularly lengthy, but it does need to be convincing . You need to “sell” the value of your research here so that the reader understands why it’s worth committing an entire dissertation or thesis to it. This section needs to be the salesman of your research. So, spend some time thinking about the ways in which your research will make a unique contribution to the world and how the knowledge you create could benefit both academia and industry – and then “sell it” in this section.
#6 – The limitations
Now that you’ve “sold” your research to the reader and hopefully got them excited about what’s coming up in the rest of your dissertation, it’s time to briefly discuss the potential limitations of your research.
But you’re probably thinking, hold up – what limitations? My research is well thought out and carefully designed – why would there be limitations?
Well, no piece of research is perfect . This is especially true for a dissertation or thesis – which typically has a very low or zero budget, tight time constraints and limited researcher experience. Generally, your dissertation will be the first or second formal research project you’ve ever undertaken, so it’s unlikely to win any research awards…
Simply put, your research will invariably have limitations. Don’t stress yourself out though – this is completely acceptable (and expected). Even “professional” research has limitations – as I said, no piece of research is perfect. The key is to recognise the limitations upfront and be completely transparent about them, so that future researchers are aware of them and can improve the study’s design to minimise the limitations and strengthen the findings.
Generally, you’ll want to consider at least the following four common limitations. These are:
Your scope – for example, perhaps your focus is very narrow and doesn’t consider how certain variables interact with each other.
Your research methodology – for example, a qualitative methodology could be criticised for being overly subjective, or a quantitative methodology could be criticised for oversimplifying the situation (learn more about methodologies here ).
Your resources – for example, a lack of time, money, equipment and your own research experience.
The generalisability of your findings – for example, the findings from the study of a specific industry or country can’t necessarily be generalised to other industries or countries.
Don’t be shy here. There’s no use trying to hide the limitations or weaknesses of your research. In fact, the more critical you can be of your study, the better. The markers want to see that you are aware of the limitations as this demonstrates your understanding of research design – so be brutal.
#7 – The structural outline
Now that you’ve clearly communicated what your research is going to be about, why it’s important and what the limitations of your research will be, the final ingredient is the structural outline.The purpose of this section is simply to provide your reader with a roadmap of what to expect in terms of the structure of your dissertation or thesis.
In this section, you’ll need to provide a brief summary of each chapter’s purpose and contents (including the introduction chapter). A sentence or two explaining what you’ll do in each chapter is generally enough to orient the reader. You don’t want to get too detailed here – it’s purely an outline, not a summary of your research.
Let’s look at an example:
In Chapter One, the context of the study has been introduced. The research objectives and questions have been identified, and the value of such research argued. The limitations of the study have also been discussed.
In Chapter Two, the existing literature will be reviewed and a foundation of theory will be laid out to identify key skills development approaches and strategies within the context of fast-moving industries, especially technology-intensive industries.
In Chapter Three, the methodological choices will be explored. Specifically, the adoption of a qualitative, inductive research approach will be justified, and the broader research design will be discussed, including the limitations thereof.
So, as you can see from the example, this section is simply an outline of the chapter structure, allocating a short paragraph to each chapter. Done correctly, the outline will help your reader understand what to expect and reassure them that you’ll address the multiple facets of the study.
By the way – if you’re unsure of how to structure your dissertation or thesis, be sure to check out our video post which explains dissertation structure .
Keep calm and carry on.
Hopefully you feel a bit more prepared for this challenge of crafting your dissertation or thesis introduction chapter now. Take a deep breath and remember that Rome wasn’t built in a day – conquer one ingredient at a time and you’ll be firmly on the path to success.
Let’s quickly recap – the 7 ingredients are:
The opening section – where you give a brief, high-level overview of what your research will be about.
The study background – where you introduce the reader to key theory, concepts and terminology, as well as the context of your study.
The research problem – where you explain what the problem with the current research is. In other words, the research gap.
The research aims , objectives and questions – where you clearly state what your dissertation will investigate.
The significance – where you explain what value your research will provide to the world.
The limitations – where you explain what the potential shortcomings and limitations of your research may be.
The structural outline – where you provide a high-level overview of the structure of your document
If you bake these ingredients into your dissertation introduction chapter, you’ll be well on your way to building an engaging introduction chapter that lays a rock-solid foundation for the rest of your document.
Remember, while we’ve covered the essential ingredients here, there may be some additional components that your university requires, so be sure to double-check your project brief!

Thank you very much
Thanks so much ❤️😘 I feel am ready to start writing my research methodology
This is genuinely the most effective advice I have ever been given regarding academia. Thank you so much!
This is one of the best write up I have seen in my road to PhD thesis. regards, this write up update my knowledge of research
I was looking for some good blogs related to Education hopefully your article will help. Thanks for sharing.
This is an awesome masterpiece. It is one of the most comprehensive guides to writing a Dissertation/Thesis I have seen and read.
You just saved me from going astray in writing a Dissertation for my undergraduate studies. I could not be more grateful for such a relevant guide like this. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much Derek, this has been extremely helpful!!
I do have one question though, in the limitations part do you refer to the scope as the focus of the research on a specific industry/country/chronological period? I assume that in order to talk about whether or not the research could be generalized, the above would need to be already presented and described in the introduction.
Thank you again!
Phew! You have genuinely rescued me. I was stuck how to go about my thesis. Now l have started. Thank you.
This is the very best guide in anything that has to do with thesis or dissertation writing. The numerous blends of examples and detailed insights make it worth a read and in fact, a treasure that is worthy to be bookmarked.
Thanks a lot for this masterpiece!
Powerful insight. I can now take a step
Thank you very much for these valuable introductions to thesis chapters. I saw all your videos about writing the introduction, discussion, and conclusion chapter. Then, I am wondering if we need to explain our research limitations in all three chapters, introduction, discussion, and conclusion? Isn’t it a bit redundant? If not, could you please explain how can we write in different ways? Thank you.
Excellent!!! Thank you…
Thanks for this informative content. I have a question. The research gap is mentioned in both the introduction and literature section. I would like to know how can I demonstrate the research gap in both sections without repeating the contents?
I’m incredibly grateful for this invaluable content. I’ve been dreading compiling my postgrad thesis but breaking each chapter down into sections has made it so much easier for me to engage with the material without feeling overwhelmed. After relying on your guidance, I’m really happy with how I’ve laid out my introduction.
Thank you for the informative content you provided
Hi Derrick and Team, thank you so much for the comprehensive guide on how to write a dissertation or a thesis introduction section. For some of us first-timers, it is a daunting task. However, the instruction with relevant examples makes it clear and easy to follow through. Much appreciated.
It was so helpful. God Bless you. Thanks very much
I thank you Grad coach for your priceless help. I have two questions I have learned from your video the limitations of the research presented in chapter one. but in another video also presented in chapter five. which chapter limitation should be included? If possible, I need your answer since I am doing my thesis. how can I explain If I am asked what is my motivation for this research?
You explain what moment in life caused you to have a peaked interest in the thesis topic. Personal experiences? Or something that had an impact on your life, or others. Something would have caused your drive of topic. Dig deep inside, the answer is within you!
Thank you guys for the great work you are doing. Honestly, you have made the research to be interesting and simplified. Even a novice will easily grasp the ideas you put forward, Thank you once again.
Excellent piece!
I feel like just settling for a good topic is usually the hardest part.
Thank you so much. My confidence has been completely destroyed during my first year of PhD and you have helped me pull myself together again
Happy to help 🙂
I am so glad I ran into your resources and did not waste time doing the wrong this. Research is now making so much sense now.
Gratitude to Derrick and the team I was looking for a solid article that would aid me in drafting the thesis’ introduction. I felt quite happy when I came across the piece you wrote because it was so well-written and insightful. I wish you success in the future.
thank you so much. God Bless you
Thank you so much Grad Coach for these helpful insights. Now I can get started, with a great deal of confidence.
It’s ‘alluded to’ not ‘eluded to’.
This is great!

When does Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 come out? What to know about Marvel collaboration
Disney announced its collaboration with Fortnite during its annual D23 ultimate fan event and suggested Fortnite players should prepare for a new season filled with absolute doom.
Chapter 5, Season 4 will include brand new Marvel skins like Gwenpool, War Machine, Mysterio, Emma Frost, Peelverine and more. Plus, players should expect special Disney-inspired quests and clues about future Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies and shows.
“This marks Disney’s biggest entry ever into the world of video games and offers significant opportunities for growth and expansion,” said Bob Iger, Disney CEO in an article from forbes.com. “… Players, gamers, and fans will be able to create their own stories and experiences, express their fandom in a distinctly Disney way, and share content with each other in ways that they love.”
What is the next Fortnite season?
Fortnite's upcoming season is titled "Absolute Doom" and features a new Battle Pass that's jam-packed with MCU and X-Men skins.
This doesn't come as a surprise with " Deadpool & Wolverine " being the big Marvel summer blockbuster and Disney announcing a special Fortnite collaboration during their annual D23 ultimate fan event on Aug. 10.
However, superheroes — and villains — won't be the only ones in the mix. Expect to see characters from Star Wars, Pixar and anything else the House of Mouse has in their catalogue.
Players shouldn't just expect skins either, keep a sharp eye out for any quests and clues along the way that may or may not give hints about the MCU's future.
Is Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 out?
Season 3 will end on Thursday, Aug. 15, at 8 p.m. Arizona time.
Players will have about 4-6 hours of "downtime" for the game to reboot and for backend maintenance to prepare for the new season.
Chapter 5, Season 4 is titled "Absolute Doom" and will launch on Friday, Aug. 16.
What time does Fortnite season 4 start?
There isn't a confirmed start time for Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 4.
All we know is that the mandatory "downtime" will begin at 8 p.m. Arizona time after the end of season 3 and will take about 5-6 hours to complete ahead of the new season.
According to comicbook.com , Epic will begin pushing out the Season 4 content to servers for players to download and they should expect this next patch to be "larger than usual."

Updated 8.17.24
Fortnite’s Chapter 5, Season 4 ‘Absolute Doom’ Battle Pass is now live alongside the rest of the season and it comes packed with new Marvel skins that range from the Avengers to the X-Men and Fantastic Four. This is the first big Marvel-themed season since Chapter 2, and the first since Disney’s $1.5 billion investment in Epic Games.
The new season will apparently involve some kind of Hero vs Villain player-choice event similar to the Spy vs Spy season that first introduced Deadpool to the game back in Chapter 2—one of the best seasons in Fortnite history.
Here’s the new Season 4 map:

The coolest new location on the map is definitely the Doom Castle, Doctor Doom’s ominous fortress, looming over the village of Doomstadt:
Doom Castle
I’m also curious about the Fractured Four landmark:

Here are all the new skins in the Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 4 Battle Pass. More Marvel-themed content will come to the game as the season progresses, but many of these skins have in-game powers and special weapons as well.
Tier 1 — Gwenpool
Hot on the heels of the success of Deadpool & Wolverine, Gwenpool makes her Fortnite debut, in her classic pink and white suit.
Speaking of Deadpool, I miss his Fortnite debut, which came with such fun little secret challenges and a great sense of humor. That was during the Spy vs Spy themed season, one of the best of all time.
Level 15 — War Machine
War Machine
Iron Man’s right hand man, War Machine blasts into Fortnite as the second unlockable skin in the Battle Pass. Not only will you be able to play as the superhero, there will be in-game turrets and other War Machine powers you can use as well.
Level 30 — Peelverine
Much ado is made in Deadpool & Wolverine about how Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine replacement is the worst Wolverine. I’m sorry, but Peelverine is clearly the worst Wolverine and it’s not even close. Wolverine’s Claws make a return to Fortnite as well.
Level 45 — Emma Frost
Emma Frost is originally a bad guy on Doctor Doom’s team, but falls for Cyclops and joins the X-Men. Cyclops would also make a cool Fortnite skin.
Level 65 — Captain Jonesy
Captain Jonesy
Jonesy is awesome no matter what skin he turns up in, and that’s the case once again as he grabs Cap’s shield and dons the classic suit. Captain America has never looked so Jonesy. The Shield throw also makes its way to Fortnite in Season 4.
Level 80 — Mysterio
Wait, Mysterio looks nothing like Jake Gyllenhaal! What gives? Just kidding. This Mysterio is way cooler than the one in that Spider-Man movie. His illusion powers come to Fortnite as well.
Level 100 — Shuri
The final Battle Pass skin this time around is Shuri, the new Black Panther. Like many of these other skins, Shuri will have variant skins and other cosmetics to unlock. Vibranium Claws also make their way as a special power to the Fortnite island. You can check out the new Season 4 map right here.
Special Skin — Doctor Doom
Doctor Doom
Is that . . . Robert Downey Jr. behind the mask? This special skin is unlockable later in the season when the special Doctor Doom quests drop. This is in many ways our first (re)introduction to the new MCU supervillain that has replaced Kang going forward.
See all these skins in action in the new Season 4 trailer below :
The new Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks and will include 1,500 V-Bucks to unlock.
