    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.
    • 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.
