The digest must be fit in only one page. The digest content should typically include:
- Objective of research
- Identification of a main problem or proposition
- Methodology and/or analysis (if any) of a problem
- Expected possible solutions and results
- Research impact (if any)
As the digest is the initial representation of the full manuscript, it should cover the main parts of a plan or proposal and indicate the points that are elaborated on in the final document.
