The Literature Review and Theoretical Framework sections typically have larger word counts as they play crucial roles in establishing the context and foundation for your research.
-
Literature Review: This is where you thoroughly examine and summarize the existing relevant research in your field. A comprehensive literature review shows that you understand the academic landscape of your topic. It gives you the opportunity to show the gaps that your research will fill and establishes your work's originality in its academic context. Hence, it's often a substantial part of the dissertation.
-
Theoretical Framework: This part creates a lens through which your research is conducted. It involves the theories, concepts, or models that you will use to interpret your data or that form the basis of your research methodology. This part is intense and substantial because it connects your particular research to the broader theories and concepts in your field.
Both sections require in-depth analysis and comprehensive explanation, which often result in higher word counts. However, remember that the quality matters more than quantity. The word count distribution is merely a guideline, and depending on your dissertation, you might need to adjust it to ensure each part of your work is sufficiently developed.

-
Research & Data Collection: After your initial introduction, you would begin comprehensive research and data collection. During this stage, your research question might get tailored more specifically, and you might also identify specific theories or methodologies to guide your research.
-
Introduction Revision: As your research progress, you will likely need to revise the introduction to better
