Where can I find a good research topic?
Articles, reports in academic journals and books are all useful sources of research topics. Review articles in particular often indicate areas in which more research may be required. You can search for scholarly sources online using databases and search engines like Google Scholar. These provide a range of search functions that can help you to find the most relevant sources. If you are searching for a specific article or book, include the title or the author’s name. A research paper is a written and published report describing original outcome of an investigation. It must be the first publication of the research findings, In a manner where peers can repeat the experiments and test the conclusions and In a journal or other source readily accessible within the scientific community. Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites. It can be a research source, but should not be the only source you use. Google Scholar does not provide the criteria for what makes its results scholarly. Results are often vary in quality and it is up to the researcher to determine which of the results are suitable for their purposes.
What is a good research study?
Good research is replicable, reproducible, and transparent. Replicability, reproducibility, and transparency are some of the most important characteristics of research. The replicability of a research study is important because this allows other researchers to test the study’s findings. A good research topic should have the following qualities. Clarity is the most important quality of any research topic. The topic should have to be clear so that others can easily understand the nature of your research. The research topic should have a single interpretation so that people cannot get distracted. A good research problem should have the following characteristics: It should address a gap in knowledge. It should be significant enough to contribute to the existing body of research. It should lead to further research. Most research can be divided into three different categories: exploratory, descriptive and causal. Each serves a different end purpose and can only be used in certain ways. A SMART research question is answerable. You will know when it is answered, and be able to identify steps (i.e., SMART Goals) needed to reach a conclusion. A good research question requires original data, synthesis of multiple sources, and original interpretation and argumentation prior to providing an answer.
