SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
OF RESEARCH
Scope and Delimitation of study are two elements
of a research paper that inform the reader what
information is included in the research and explain
why the author chose that information. Although
scope and delimitation explain the way a study is
limited, this information adds credibility to
research
SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
OF RESEARCH
This section discusses the parameters of the research in paragraph. It
answers the basic questions:
• WHAT – the topic of investigation and the variables included
• WHERE – the venue or the setting of the research
• WHEN – the timeframe by which the study was conducted
• WHY – the general objectives of the research
• WHO – the subject of the study, the population and the sampling
• HOW – the methodology of the research which may include the
research design, methodology and the research instrument

SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
OF RESEARCH
SCOPE
• The scope of study is a section of a research paper that
explains what information or subject is being analyzed.
• If at the beginning of the study, it is already clear that your
participants are the regular employees who have been
working at the agency for at least three years, are
presently connected with the agency, and who have been
assigned to at least three provinces in Central Luzon,
then all those who do not meet the above description
should not be part of the study.
SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
OF RESEARCH
SCOPE
• The Scope of the Study is the coverage.
• The Scope of the Study should include the following:
• The general purpose of the study
• The population of the study
• Time element and duration of the study – any study should be
time-bound
• Topics or ideas covered in the study
• Geographical details

LIMITATION
The limitations of the study refer to uncontrollable factors that can
affect the process of conducting the study, specifically on the part of the
methodology and results.
• These could be problems or situations that may arise in any part of
the research process.
Methodological limitations
Personal limitations
• required number of participants;
• Language barriers
• the sufficiency of references to support
claims;
• Time Constraints
• Biases
• Data collection;
• Financial or Budgetary Limitations
• Measurement
• technique limitations
SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
OF RESEARCH
DELIMITATION
• The delimitation of the study is the explanation of the
scope of the study.
• This section allows the writer to explain why certain
aspects of a subject were chosen and why others were
excluded.
• It is also common for a writer to explain the chosen
research method in this section and explain why certain
theories were applied to the data.

SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
OF RESEARCH
DELIMITATION
• A delimitation addresses how a study will be narrowed in
scope, that is, how it is bounded.
• This is the place to explain the things that you are not doing
and why you have chosen not to do them – the literature you
will not review (and why not), the population you are not
studying (and why not), the methodological procedures you wil
not use (and why you will not use them). Limit your
delimitations to the things that a reader might reasonably
expect you to do but that you, for clearly explained reasons
have decided not to do.
SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
OF RESEARCH
DELIMITATION
• The study may be delimited by geographic location, age, gender,
population traits, population size, or other similar
considerations. The SOP also provides the delimitation of the
study.
