Research
proposals should be between 10-14 pages and should be double-spaced in 12- point font with 1-inch margins on
all sides. The paper should adhere to the format and submission guidelines provided by the Publication Manual of
the American Psychological Association (6th Ed.) or the Academy of Management style guide
(http://aom.pace.edu/amjnew/style_guide.html), and should be organized roughly as follows:
1. Introduction
2. Theory and Hypotheses (if applicable)
3. Methodology
Your introduction should identify the existing “conversation” you are joining, what is missing from this
conversation, and how you intend to fill that gap. If these first few pages (est 2-4pgs) of a research paper
don’t clearly explain your point, and why it is important, most readers will lose interest – especially reviewers
and readers. Clarity in this section is critical is it tells the reader why what you are doing matters. These are
six questions that may help you with the introduction.
• What is the problem being addressed by this research?
• Why is that problem important?
• What do we know about this problem?
• What don’t we know?
• Why is it important that we know more?
• How will your study advance knowledge?
