"The Dissertation Proposal\nby Amanda Ross M.A. - Product Manager, ProQuest Dissertations\n\n * Share This »\n 1. Facebook Facebook\n 2. Blogger Blogger\n 3. myspace myspace\n 4. del.icio.us del.icio.us\n 5. URL\n\nThe dissertation proposal represents a major commitment on your part to doing a particular kind of study. It can be changed only at a price ? a longer timetable for completion of your dissertation. Target 200 hours to write your dissertation proposal. Avoid the temptation to start writing before you have thoughtfully worked through the pre-proposal and proposal for your dissertation."
"Writing a dissertation proposal is, in my opinion, the hardest part of the dissertation process. In Education, where few students are working closely with an established research project led by a faculty member, the student is developing a project on their own. In creating a proposal you are crafting something out of nothing. Developing an understanding of an issue, identifying, reading and summarizing the relevant literature, and developing your own take on the problem are time consuming and often frustrating processes. In many ways the methodology is the easiest part to develop. Once you have a clear idea of the first pieces, the methods should follow easily. "
"Summary: APA (American Psychological Association) is most commonly used to cite sources within the social sciences. This resource, revised according to the 6th edition of the APA manual, offers examples for the general format of APA research papers, in-text citations, endnotes/footnotes, and the reference page. Please use the example at the bottom of this page to cite the Purdue OWL in APA.\n\nContributors:Jodi Wagner, Elena Lawrick, Elizabeth Angeli, Kristen Moore, Michael Anderson, Lars Soderlund, Allen Brizee\nLast Edited: 2010-01-08 01:34:22"
"This page provides some examples of reference using the 6th edition of the APA citation style. If you need more in depth information on APA citation style, you should consult Publication Manual of APA, 6th Edition (call number: Ref BF76.7 .P83 2010). There is one copy available at the M.D. Anderson Library Information Desk and two copies in the Library Reference stacks. The related links on the right also provide helpful information. "
How to enter authors correctly in refworks
Primary Authors, Secondary Authors, Tertiary Authors, Quaternary Authors, Quinary Authors, and Sextenary Authors
Author names should be entered last name first followed by a comma, first name (or first initial followed by a period), and middle initial followed by a period. Each entry must be separated by a semi-colon. For example:
Smith, J.R.; Jones,Robert K.; Adams,Mary; etc.
If the Author has a title, place a comma after the middle initial and add the title followed by a period. For example:
Green,Adam J.,Dr.; Berg,James,II; etc.
