Definition of base article
The base article is the article that you use the most in your research (whether writing a thesis or writing an article).
In any research work, the researcher can use several articles and theses, but there are one or two articles that help the student the most in the process of writing the thesis.
Writing a proposal based on the base article
A graduate student becomes interested in a specific scientific field at the beginning of the course or while completing a master’s degree or doctorate.
It is better for a student to consider his interest and his supervisor’s field of expertise when choosing a thesis topic.
Considering the length of the thesis writing process, when the student is not interested in the chosen topic, writing the thesis will be boring for him from the very first day. Now, if the topic of the thesis is not in the expert field of the supervisor, he cannot help the progress of the work and all the difficulties of the thesis will be on the shoulders of the student.
If you don’t have a topic in mind, your supervisor will help you and introduce you to one or more topics that can be researched. He will also introduce you to several reputable English language sites and journals to search for articles.
At the beginning of the work and before writing the proposal, the student must read several articles related to the chosen topic in order to be able to write his proposal.
