RESEARCH QUESTIONS
• A research question is an answerable inquiry into a specific
concern or issue.

• This serves as a path that helps the researchers in the research
writing process.
GUIDELINES:
 Specify your specific concern or issue
 Decide what you want to know about the specific concern or
issue
 Turn what you want to know into a question
 Ensure that the question is answerable
 Check to make sure that the question is not too broad or too
narrow
WHAT A RESEARCH QUESTION
SHOULD BE:
 CLEAR. Provides enough specifics that can easily be understood
 FOCUSED. It is narrow enough that it can be answered thoroughly in
the space the writing task allows
 CONCISE. It is expressed in the fewest possible words.
 COMPLEX. It is not answerable with a simple yes or no, but rather
requires synthesis and analysis of ideas and sources prior to
composition of an answer.
 ARGUABLE. Its potential answers are open to debatable rather than
accepted facts.
