Writing a thesis for a doctoral degree is not an easy task.
Most scholars are devoid of ideas and initiatives as they lack proper planning
in a time-constrained environment. To help you write your thesis, we have
come up with these seven basic steps to progress your way through a thesis:
Choosing the right
Topic: Topic selection is the initial and the most vital step to write an
attractive thesis. You have to choose a subject keeping in mind the thesis
length, audience, resources, and the submission deadline. Choose a topic that
deeply interests you. Make sure you are not restating another well-researched
topic. Avoid taking up extremely technical or shallow subjects.
Cutting Down to the
Subject: The topic has to be narrowed down to fundamentals. Read resources
pertaining to the topic. This will help you to figure out what you want to
address. Keep a list of the hows, whys and the whats involved.
Stating the Thesis
Objective: The thesis objective should be built around the angle which you
wish the readers to see. The objective is to validate your thesis. You can
avoid taking unnecessary notes and research, if you get the objective right.
Planning your Thesis:
Breaking down the thesis into parts makes note-making easier. Outlining helps
you avoid writing watered down content and conflicting sub-topics.
Creating a Basic
draft: Start writing a rough draft based on the outline you had created
earlier. The focus here should be on the facts rather than on language or
grammar. Keep numbered citations as they will help summarize your findings.
Editing: At this
stage you need to focus on the content and structure of your thesis. Revise the
paper to assure it is transitioning smoothly from topic to topic. Also keep a
tab on the language and factual errors.
Drafting the Final
Piece: Rewrite your edited draft with all the amendments you want to make.
Finally, format your thesis as suggested by your instructor.
