Material Detail

An open-licensed tutorial that walks a postgraduate researcher through building a theoretical framework, from defining core concepts against scholarly sources to justifying the chosen theory over its alternatives and checking alignment with the research objectives and methods. It uses a single worked example carried through every stage, so the reader sees one study develop rather than a set of disconnected illustrations. Written for candidates who write their thesis in English as a second language, with attention to the points where a framework most often breaks down at examination. Released under CC BY 4.0.
