VARIOUS KINDS OF
CONCEPT PAPER
AND THEIR
EXAMPLE
What is a Concept Paper?
Is an academic writing that present a
short summary that tells a reader what
the project is,why it is important,and
how it will be carried out.
There are 2 kinds of
Concept Paper
>Implicit
>Explicit
EXPLICIT
means providing clear, detailed, and
unambiguous information about the
idea or project being proposed.
IMPLICIT
 means conveying ideas and assumptions
indirectly rather than stating them explicitly.
This can sometimes make the paper less clear,
but it might also be used to hint at ideas or
leave some details open for interpretation or
further development.
5 Parts of Concept Paper
 Introduction
 Thesis statement
 Body paragraphs
 Conclusion
 Citations and works cited.
7 steps for making a
concept paper
1:Title
 A concept papers title should directly express
the papers content. Think of it as a preview for
the reader. The title can be the question the
proposed project aims to answer, or it can be a
short statement that summarizes the paper.
2:Introduction outlining problem and gaps
in knowledge
 In the introduction section, provide an overview of your
research project. This should include a short overview of
the current state of your research area and existing gaps
in this area. After explaining these, state which of these
knowledge gaps you aim to fill with your research. This
section should also mention any contradictory theories
regarding the questions you aim to answer.
3:Mission Statement
 Your concept papers introduction should also
include a mission statement. This is a sentence or
two that concisely states your research purpose in
an engaging way. Remember, the goal is to get your
project approvedso your mission statement
should communicate why the readers approval will
benefit your field.
4:Research Aim
Your concept paper also needs to address the
reason why youre conducting the specific
research youve planned. This part, along with
the following two sections, are sometimes
grouped together as a concept papers project
description.
In this section, cover the following:
The reason why your research is
important
The questions you aim to answer through
your research
5:Methodology
A concept paper also needs to discuss the
methodology you plan to use while
conducting your research. This is the strategy
or strategies you will use to collect data, such
as:
> Surveys > Interviews
> Experiments > Observations
> Case studies
This section should also include any ethical
concerns that could arise during the research
period.
6:Outline of proposed methods and
potential impact
 After describing your proposed methodology, write
a section that discusses exactly how youll conduct
your research using these methods. Be as specific
as possibleif you plan to utilize resources like
specialized equipment or collaborate with an expert
in your field, include this information in this
section.
7:Support
A concept paper also needs to include a
section that addresses the projects budget.
The section should explain the overall cost
and break it down into individual expenses so
readers can see exactly how the money will be
spent.
It is usually ranges from 500 to 2000
words and is usually divided into several
parts
