Abstract
Writing a thesis, a research proposal or a paper is a complex effort involving numerous decisions. Despite the differences between social science disciplines and the specific traditions in these disciplines, students tend to come up with similar problems during their research projects. Moreover, they are similar to the questions that emerge in writing an empirical journal article or a dissertation plan. By describing the typical problems that students run into when writing their thesis and outlining their common solutions I hope you can save time, and end up with a better thesis.
