Application Process

An application consists of the following: A proposal (maximum of 1000 words) which describes in detail the research strategy and the plan to do a piece of  research (in any format).  The proposals should be descriptive about the method the applicants like to use in the research process. Proposals for theoretical and survey research are strongly discouraged. The proposals should reflect innovativeness and methodological increments.

Proposals should be submitted by email to edprocess@dline.info

The Content of the Proposal

The proposal should clearly provide the aim and scope of the research including the description of the method, purpose, experiments, outcome and how the results will contribute to the domain. The proposals with theory or case studies are not supported in the award. The proposal need not at provide any data, but indicate what types of data will be given in the paper. The authors of the selected proposals will be asked to submit the final research study in the form of a full paper. Hence the proposal can be more descriptive but without any data or analysis.

 Evaluation Criteria

• Extensive and innovative plan in library and information science domain.
• Evidence of significance in the research plan and inquiry that shows the strategy for the future.
