There are no special formatting requirements unless the document is a thesis or dissertation.
All disciplines recognize the major formal styles, so it is a matter of personal choice.
The writer is free to show creativity as long as s/he is consistent throughout the document.
Disciplines often dictate the use of specific formal styles, so you must find out what the expectations are.

Rate this question:
Will know which data analytic techniques are appropriate for your study without a detailed explanation.
Is an expert in the area you are addressing and will be familiar with common issues, variables, instruments, etc.
Can discern for him/herself what the importance of the study is.
Knows nothing about the proposed project, so all the details must be thoroughly explained.
Rate this question:
It is best to provide only a general plan as things will probably change over the course of the study anyway.
It is best to be as detailed as possible so all contingencies related to analysis and interpretation can be anticipated.
It is impossible to be highly detailed until one has the actual data in hand.
An overly specific plan may bias the analyses or interpretation, impairing the validity of the study.
Rate this question:
Favor straightforward vocabulary
Employ complex sentence structure
Favor a highly esoteric vocabulary
Rely on the reader to draw inferences
Rate this question:
Reconsider the feasibility of what you are proposing to do.
Carefully assess the logic and organization of the information in the document.
Avoid breaks of 24 hours or more as the material will get too “cold” in your mind.
Seek feedback from knowledgeable others.
Rate this question:
A general and flexible outline of how the research problem is to be investigated.
“Plan A,” with the expectation that “Plan B” or even “Plan C” will become necessary as the study unfolds.
A detailed and firm contract between the researcher and others who are involved in the research project (participants, supervisors, funding agencies, etc.)
A document that is written for others (internal review boards, funding agencies) and is of little value to the researcher.
