**Research Report: Outline Assignment Instructions**
**Overview**
Based on the topic used in your
**Research Report: Introduction and Literature Review Assignment**, develop a topical outline for a quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods proposal. Using Creswell and Creswell, along with Edlund et al., prepare a topic outline that will provide a foundation for future research. As doctoral students, your assignments are expected to follow the principles of high-quality scientific standards and promote knowledge and understanding in the field of public administration. You should apply a rigorous and critical assessment of a body of theory and empirical research, articulating what is known about the phenomenon and ways to advance research about the topic under review. Research syntheses should identify significant variables, a systematic and replication strategy, and a clear framework for studies included in the larger analysis.
**Instructions**
This assignment will give you the opportunity to create an outline using your Introduction and Literature Review sections and synthesize those components into the methodology of a research study, e.g., ethics, methods, analysis, instruments, etc. This 20-to-30-page outline will include important components of research paper plan. Below are the format requirements:
· Length of assignment (20 to 30 pages)
· Not including the reference section.
· Format of assignment (APA most recent edition).
· Number of citations – At least 25 references should be included.
· Acceptable sources (e.g. scholarly peer-reviewed articles)
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
