Why am I being suggested to go for a higher word count category?

By Priya Chetty on December 8, 2019

If you have been suggested by your Handle to opt for a higher word count category than you intended, it can be due to one or more of the following reasons:

  • The data analysis or testing method you requested for is complex.
  • The number of variables present in your study is likely to be high (more than 10).
  • The number of references or studies needed to be reviewed is high.
  • Multiple hypotheses (more than 2) are being tested.
  • The sample size is huge (more than 150).
  • In addition to the central aim, your paper consists of secondary objectives too.
  • The number of headings or sub-headings requested by you cannot be covered in a lesser word count.

I am a management graduate with specialisation in Marketing and Finance. I have over 12 years' experience in research and analysis. This includes fundamental and applied research in the domains of management and social sciences. I am well versed with academic research principles. Over the years i have developed a mastery in different types of data analysis on different applications like SPSS, Amos, and NVIVO. My expertise lies in inferring the findings and creating actionable strategies based on them. 

Over the past decade I have also built a profile as a researcher on Project Guru's Knowledge Tank division. I have penned over 200 articles that have earned me 400+ citations so far. My Google Scholar profile can be accessed here

I now consult university faculty through Faculty Development Programs (FDPs) on the latest developments in the field of research. I also guide individual researchers on how they can commercialise their inventions or research findings. Other developments im actively involved in at Project Guru include strengthening the "Publish" division as a bridge between industry and academia by bringing together experienced research persons, learners, and practitioners to collaboratively work on a common goal.
