Simply speaking, "a dissertation is a document that present the reasearcher's reaserch"( Dr. chaskar). In a dissertation , the reasercher writes a formal document which argues in defence a perticular topic . The oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary defines the term 'dissertation' as follows:
" a long essay on a perticular subject , especially one written fora higher university degree"
A dissertation is similar to and different from a 'reaserch paper' and 'thesis'. A research paper is shorter than both a dissertation and a thesis. A dissertation is wider in scope as compared to a thesis. that is why , we use the term 'M.phill.Thesis' and 'Ph.D.Dissertation or 'Doctoral Dissertation'. the aproximate length of a thesis is 100 pages while that of dissertation is 300 pages. The topic of both also reveal this difference . for example,'A comic Mode in R.K.Narayanan's fiction is a title for a dissertation . in a short , a thesis is shorter than a dissertation and is generally for a masters degree. on the other hand , a dissertation is longer than a thesis and is written for a doctors degree. therefore, in America, there prevail the terms 'masters thesis' and a 'doctoral dissertation'.
