Abstract

Introduction

Here is a paragraph I have written about the research topic of my choice. It explains some of the background research in the relevant area, as well as the rationale for my research question and hypothesis. This research will lead to mindblowing results such as those shown in Figure 1. Prepare yourself.

Methods

With the power of R version 4.4.0 (2024-04-24), I think the following timeline for my thesis is attainable:

Month Goal
November Finalise my research question and hypothesis
February Collect my data
April Analyse and plot my results
June Write up my thesis

On the topic of methods, why not check out DeBruine & Barr (2021) if you are interested in mixed effects models!

Discussion

I think we can all agree that reproducible research is a very valuable part of scientific education (McAleer et al., 2022) :)
