What defines a good research question?

Research question and hypothesis driven-test

If you can not derive a testable, falsifiable hypothesis from your research question, that's not a research question.

(falsifiable: a theory is falsifiable if it is contradicted by an observation that is logically possible)

Research question criteria

Scope

  • Wide enough so that it's relevant.
  • Narrow enough so that you can get your hands on.

Feasibility

  • Doable within the limit of resources.
  • You're equipped with the right toolking and are well-positioned to conduct such research.

Impact

  • Will the results be interesting to you and to others?
  • Does it concern a real and debatable issue?
