Study Notes
Research Basics
- A significant research gap should be relevant to the discipline and not already addressed by practitioners.
- Issues should stimulate intellectual curiosity and interest for researchers.
- Problems assessed must lack available solutions, and existing results should either be unexplored or contradictory.
- Research should aim to explain phenomena that require clarification and address undesirable conditions with multiple plausible explanations.
Brainstorming and Research Topic Development
- Brainstorming involves exploring ideas and refining research questions.
- The research title summarizes the main idea, concisely states the topic, and includes key variables.
- It should reflect the relationship between major variables, outline the researcher’s tasks, and mention participant details generally.
Title and Structure Requirements
- Titles must be concise (10-15 words) and omit redundant terms such as methods or study.
- A distinct background for the problem provides context and should encompass relevant previous studies.
- Essential elements include the introduction, statement of the problem, rationale, and research questions linking to the overall study.
Methodology and Variables
- Clearly define the timeframe and location of research.
- Outline the research design (qualitative or quantitative) and sampling methods (e.g., stratified sampling).
- Establish what variables are not covered in the research to delineate the study's scope.
Understanding Copyright, Patents, and Trademarks
- Copyright protects creators' rights in original works, while patents safeguard novel inventions for a limited duration (typically 20 years).
- Trademarks distinguish products and brands, preventing confusion in commerce (e.g., Coca-Cola, Starbucks).
- Proper intellectual property management prevents duplication and promotes original contributions to the field.
Importance of Proper Citation
- Proper citations attribute sources and help avoid authenticity issues when publishing research.
- Citing literature builds researcher confidence and clarifies variables being studied.
- In-text citations should include author’s name, publication date, and relevant page number, following styles like APA for social sciences.
Citation Styles Overview
- Common citation styles include APA, which uses an author-date format, particularly in social science research.
- Familiarity with citation styles is essential for maintaining consistency and credibility in research documentation.
