Everyone is ambitious in delivering the best research during the initial stage, but do they have the same mindset during completion. What are the reasons researchers face in their journey of graduation and how best can they be overcome?
You must have the end game in mind - what you want to attain in 3-4 years' time of the PhD journey. The concept paper must be clear from the beginning and you can use the Delphi technique (panel of experts) to generate ideas to a problem. You then develop the first chapter based on the problem statement and literature review and thorough understanding of what the theory says - this assumes you are opting for a deductive approach.
The research proposal is now set which includes Chaptets 1-3 (Introduction, Literature Review and Methodology). The methodology is yours but you may adapt what others have used in prior studies.
The ball is then in your court - Chapter 4 (Data Analysis and Findings) and Chapter 5 (Conclusions and Recommendations). Then defend your Thesis.
I always made sure my research was accurate through the whole process
