Frame the contribution in your field
Communication research depends on how media material, audiences and platforms are selected. State the period, language, platform and sampling frame, and explain whether the project examines messages, production, reception or effects. A corpus should support the question it is used to answer.
Organize the evidence and methods
For content analysis, define coding units and categories; for interviews or discourse analysis, explain the interpretive approach and researcher role. Platform-derived data require a record of access limitations and changing features. Avoid presenting a sample of online activity as a complete account of a population.
Practical outputs to discuss
Choose the output that addresses your current stage. The following can form part of a project brief, with depth, specialist requirements and revision rounds confirmed before booking.
- A corpus and sampling description.
- A coding or interpretive decision log.
- A manuscript with examples clearly linked to the analytical claim.
From research to submission
Support can connect proposal development, literature organization, analysis, thesis editing and publication preparation. Share the supervisor comments and current guidelines so that the work follows the right conventions. You review the changes and remain the author and owner of the research.
