FINAL THOUGHTS

The outcome of this meeting with your supervisor may require anything from a complete change of topic (i.e., choosing another main journal article and route), through to tweaks to the route that you adopt or the research questions/hypotheses you have set. If this is the case, go back over STAGE ONE: Getting to the main journal article and STAGE TWO: Choosing your route, and make the necessary changes. Once you have the go-ahead from your supervisor, proceed to STAGE FIVE: Building the theoretical case.
