A good research question:
- is nonbinary, more than a simple yes or no, it is a question which offers the opportunity to explore deeper issues and a deeper academic landscape,
-
often builds upon research made by others,
-
can be supported by data,
-
is not too complex or ambiguous
-
is neutral. It doesn’t drive toward a preconceived outcome,
-
….and very importantly, a good research question should hold great interest for the researcher, because it takes a lot of effort and motivation to make it to the finish line!
