Flashcards

Relevance

A research topic should be significant in terms of impact and potential benefit. Focus on issues that affect a large number of people or have serious health consequences.

Avoiding Duplication

Avoid repeating existing research. Before starting a new study, thoroughly research whether the topic has been investigated previously in similar contexts. If it has, analyze the existing findings to identify unanswered questions that need further investigation. If these questions are already addressed, consider selecting a different topic.

Feasibility of study

A research project must be achievable with the available resources. Consider factors like funding, equipment, expertise, and time constraints.
