Q: Can you give an example of the rationale of a research plan?
The rationale of a research plan (or proposal) outlines the reason why you are conducting the study. It justifies the research, explaining its relevance to the target problem and the broader research area. It also talks about the gaps in existing literature that you are seeking to address in your research. You write the rationale in the introduction of your research, after providing the background of the research. You will find an example of a rationale in this resource: Can you give an example of the "rationale of a study"?
