What is a Research Question?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

It's a question you answer by doing research.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Most people start with a topic, then develop a question about that topic.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Other Research Question Benefits<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Your research question also acts as an organizing tool.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Your question focuses and defines your research, influencing the direction of your entire project. It helps keep you on track and avoid tangents.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
