    • A research question that is too broad or too narrow may be difficult to answer.
    • Research questions should be complex enough to warrant investigation but not too complex to be manageable
    • A good research question is clear, concise, and focused.

    Gap Spotting

    • Gap spotting is important because it helps to identify areas where more research is needed.

    Defining Concepts

    • A concept is an abstract idea, general notion or universal representation of something.
    • The conceptual definition of a concept explains the meaning and scope of the concept.
    • Operational definition of a concept defines how it will be measured and observed in the research.

    Example Research Question

    • "How does the daily behavior of every tourist visiting Europe affect the global economy" is not a strong research question because it is too broad, not focused, and not specific.

    Strong Research Question Characteristics
