boundaries also exist. These are called the

general terms, the scope of a study is its coverage.
Scope

boundaries that the researcher sets up based on the identified scope and limitations
Delimitation
his section commonly identifies a specific population (i.e., sample size and specific characteristics of the sample population), a specific time limit for conducting the research, the topics and ideas that will be included or excluded, the specific geographical locations of the observations, and the specific theories and methods to be
used.
Delimitation
Each of these parts is accompanied by a discussion of how or why you are setting such delimitations (____).
