- What is the larger implications of your findings?
Population Delimitation
Variable Delimitation Abstract – Highlight key points
Time Delimitation - it is the period that the study will cover. For Abstract provides sufficient details to expodite classifying the paper
example, if a study is looking of the effects of a new education if its relevant or not
policy, the time delimitations would be the date the policy was put

- By itself one theory clone can serve as a theoretical framework 3 Characteristic of RRLS
- It arises from the outcomes beyond a single based on 1 or more
