Abstract

Alignment is important for harmoniously arranging, connecting, and linking research parts at different stages of research to produce logical, coherent, and clear relationships in, for example, a research proposal or report. Errors occur in many research proposals and research reports when the title, research problem, and research objectives or questions or hypotheses are not interrelated or linked to the theoretical framework and research methodology as a whole. This author uses related studies and several years of experience as a research supervisor and examiner of several master's and doctoral theses and dissertations in LIS in Africa to discuss this challenging factor. A conceptual model for an in-depth understanding of the constructs of research alignment for easy recognition, understanding, and application in LIS research proposals and reports is produced.. The chapter will support research proposal and research report writing in LIS and the cognate disciplines.
