Important Preliminary Aspects for Writing Network Dissertations
A network dissertation should be structured and written like any other dissertation and should begin with an abstract. The abstract of the network dissertation should include some important points like the tile of the dissertation, the name of the student, name of the institution or university and the name of the supervisor.
The abstract of your network dissertation should give a brief account of the topic. The network dissertation should briefly mention the existing literature on the topic and relate it to how your network dissertation will assist or complement the existing literature available on that topic. The network dissertation could be written in three or four parts and these parts should be briefly addressed in the abstract.
The next section of your network dissertation will include the acknowledgements section in which any or all of the people who have contributed to the writing of the dissertation are named and gratitude to them is expressed. The following section is the table of contents in which all the headings, titles, sub headings and sub titles are noted with their page numbers.
This section of the network dissertation will be drafted roughly in the beginning and will be completed only after the completion of the network dissertation. The next section of your network dissertation is the list of tables in which you list any and all of the appendices you have included in the dissertation along with their page numbers. In case you have figures, the next section of your network dissertation will include the list of all the figures in the dissertation and their page numbers.
Finally, you begin to write the actual network dissertation starting with the introduction followed by other sections relevant to your network dissertation.
