1.5 RESEARCH QUESTION
Let us know your BIGGEST QUESTION in science.
The literature search will emerge a Research-Question because of the presence of scientific-gap among the literature. Finding the right research question is the first step to successful publication.
A good Research-Question should be:
·
Clear and focused. In
other words, the question should clearly state what you need to do.
·
Not too broad and not too narrow. The
question should have an appropriate scope. If the question is too broad, it
will not be possible to answer it thoroughly within the word limit. If it is
too narrow, you will not have enough to write about and you will struggle to
develop a strong argument.
·
Not too easy to answer. For
example, the question should require more than a simple yes or no answer.
·
Not too difficult to answer. You
must be able to answer the question thoroughly within the given timeframe and
word limit.
·
Researchable. You
must have access to a suitable amount of quality research materials, such as
academic books and refereed journal articles.
·
Analytical rather than
descriptive. In other words, your research question should
allow you to produce an analysis of an issue or problem rather than a simple
description of it.
