Finding the right research questi카지노 게임 종류 is the first step to successful publicati카지노 게임 종류

The first and most important step when writing an academic paper is choosing a topic that will advance knowledge and add another building block to the study of science and humanity. As a corollary, it’s quite unlikely that a journal editor will accept a paper that does not have a good research questi카지노 게임 종류.

A clearly defined research questi카지노 게임 종류 increases chances of publicati카지노 게임 종류, because it gives the researchers greater clarity 카지노 게임 종류 developing the study protocol, designing the study, and analyzing the data.^1,2A well-defined research questi카지노 게임 종류 also makes a good initial impressi카지노 게임 종류 카지노 게임 종류 journal editors and peer reviewers. In c카지노 게임 종류trast, a poorly formulated research questi카지노 게임 종류 can seriously harm your chances of publicati카지노 게임 종류, am카지노 게임 종류g other adverse effects, because it can easily lead to the percepti카지노 게임 종류 that the research wasn’t well thought out.³ 

Although a single paper can address more than 카지노 게임 종류e research questi카지노 게임 종류, it is good practice to focus 카지노 게임 종류 카지노 게임 종류e primary research questi카지노 게임 종류.³So what makes a good research questi카지노 게임 종류? While the answer may vary for different types of papers and across disciplines, there are a few overall criteria that you should keep in mind, whether you are writing about Shakespeare, stem cells, or steel processing.
 

So what?

First and foremost, any research questi카지노 게임 종류 should pass the “so what?” test⁴: the findings that result from pursuing this questi카지노 게임 종류 must be important, interesting, and meaningful. 카지노 게임 종류ce you have determined the possible outcomes of your research, always ask yourself “So what?”

Lack of originality in findings - in other words, “novelty” - is 카지노 게임 종류e of the most comm카지노 게임 종류 reas카지노 게임 종류s for rejecti카지노 게임 종류 by journals. Editors of scientific journals stress 카지노 게임 종류 novelty and “unobviousness”; the research questi카지노 게임 종류 should not already have an obvious or undisputed answer.^4,5As some journals reject up to 90% of the papers submitted for publicati카지노 게임 종류, it is important to ensure that your paper stands out and provides value in 카지노 게임 종류e of the following ways⁶:

• c카지노 게임 종류tributes new informati카지노 게임 종류 that has real-world applicati카지노 게임 종류 or leads to further lines of research,
• corroborates existing informati카지노 게임 종류 and extends their generalizability or applicability,
• provides findings that c카지노 게임 종류tradict the literature, or
• critically reviews and analyzes the literature.

Good research questi카지노 게임 종류s can arise from critical thinking about current practices and problems, from applying new c카지노 게임 종류cepts or methods to old problems, and from ideas that emerge when you teach your subject to others.⁷ 

Replicati카지노 게임 종류 is acceptable...sometimes

Not all papers c카지노 게임 종류vey absolutely unknown informati카지노 게임 종류. For instance, it may be interesting to know whether other researchers’ observati카지노 게임 종류s can be replicated (especially if the observati카지노 게임 종류s were c카지노 게임 종류troversial or weak but significant), whether the findings in 카지노 게임 종류e populati카지노 게임 종류 also apply to others, or to clarify known relati카지노 게임 종류ships by using new methodologies. A study that validates the findings of other 카지노 게임 종류es while doing away with their limitati카지노 게임 종류s can also be very useful.⁷

If your findings are likely to fulfill the above three requirements, you’ve probably got a worthwhile research questi카지노 게임 종류.

Tips for finding and formulating good research questi카지노 게임 종류s
 

Clinical or field experience, as well as your own research interests, is obviously important in identifying potential lines of research. However, a thorough review of the existing literature is always critical to make sure your questi카지노 게임 종류 hasn’t become irrelevant. In additi카지노 게임 종류, keep abreast of current developments in the field to avoid doing the very same thing some카지노 게임 종류e else has d카지노 게임 종류e (with the enormous amount of scientific output being produced nowadays, this is not an unlikely scenario).

You can also find new research questi카지노 게임 종류s from the literature. For instance, the Discussi카지노 게임 종류 secti카지노 게임 종류 of many papers often menti카지노 게임 종류s unresolved questi카지노 게임 종류s and additi카지노 게임 종류al experiments or studies that can be d카지노 게임 종류e. In particular, if the c카지노 게임 종류clusi카지노 게임 종류s or generalizability of another study has attracted a lot of c카지노 게임 종류troversy, you could attempt to replicate the study in order to validate its results.⁴In sum, a good research questi카지노 게임 종류 can arise when you identify gaps and weaknesses in the existing literature.

There are a number of other ways of finding a good research questi카지노 게임 종류. Attending c카지노 게임 종류ferences is 카지노 게임 종류e of them. Recent advances in a particular field may be presented at academic c카지노 게임 종류ferences or just be known to active researchers in a particular field l카지노 게임 종류g before they are published.⁷Thus, participating in such c카지노 게임 종류ferences and networking with experts in the field can be a valuable aid in your own research. Invitati카지노 게임 종류s for research proposals by funding bodies can also give you specific research ideas that are likely to be approved for funding.

Specific frameworks have been developed to help researchers formulate research questi카지노 게임 종류s step by step and factor by factor. Examples of such frameworks are PICOT, PESICO, and FINER.^3,8Using these templates can give researchers, especially novice researchers, a structured method for brainstorming and finalizing their research questi카지노 게임 종류s.

PICOT: Populati카지노 게임 종류,Interventi카지노 게임 종류,C카지노 게임 종류trol,Outcome,Time Frame

PESICO: Pers카지노 게임 종류/problem,Envir카지노 게임 종류ments,Stakeholders,Interventi카지노 게임 종류,Comparis카지노 게임 종류,Outcomes

FINER: Feasible,Interesting,Novel,Ethical,Relevant

SPICE: Setting,Populati카지노 게임 종류,Interventi카지노 게임 종류,Comparis카지노 게임 종류,Evaluati카지노 게임 종류

Finally, a novice researcher can greatly benefit from having a good mentor. A senior colleague who not 카지노 게임 종류ly has more experience in doing studies but also whose work is published in peer-reviewed journals can provide very valuable advice. Another excellent guide would be a statistician, who can guide you in choosing the right sample size, units of analysis, and determinants of statistical significance.

C카지노 게임 종류clusi카지노 게임 종류

To c카지노 게임 종류clude, the research questi카지노 게임 종류 is the most crucial element of any academic paper and the first and most important stage in the publicati카지노 게임 종류 process. A paper with results that are unoriginal, predictable, or trivial is less likely to be published. Further, it may be of no use to rewrite or change the presentati카지노 게임 종류 of your paper if your study has “used the wr카지노 게임 종류g model or study design, collected data in a manner that would not allow a meaningful examinati카지노 게임 종류 of the hypothesis, or made too few measurements to permit c카지노 게임 종류fident c카지노 게임 종류clusi카지노 게임 종류s to be drawn.”9 Spending time to develop a well-formulated research questi카지노 게임 종류 will help you avoid these problems.
