Research Question

When analysing a particular subject the research question also needs to be correctly specified for the research to be credible. If the research deviates from the original question then that research is not going to be relevant to the point.

Several aspects need to be considered when approaching and deciding on a suitable research question, the purpose of the research needs to be determined. Why is the research being done? What is the research trying to achieve? Without knowing why the research is being done or what the research is trying to achieve then the research cannot be correctly completed to compliment the research question. If the results of the research are completely irrelevant to the point of the study then it can be stated that the research completed is not credible for the point it was intended for.

Research needs to be framed correctly depending on what it is that is being researched. Each study is unique from the next, so when deciding whether to base research to return quantitative or qualititative data would depend on the subject at hand. Some studies will benefit from a well prepared fixed research that will return statistical data that can be easily interpreted and discussed. But for other studies a more flexible approach may be more suitable to better prove the point of the study.
