The purpose and scope of the writing material should be related to the topic under research to reduce the issue of being irrelevant. The outline of the writing resource should be reviewed thoroughly to make sure that ideas in it are conclusive. Apart from online writing resources, other publications related to the topic in the study can also be considered as long as the materials do not duplicate the work already available [1].
