Chapter 3 of the Bedford Researcher is titled "Developing Your Research Question and Proposal". These are important steps because it directs your efforts in creating a plan, searching for sources, and collecting information. It is the foundation for developing your position or main point of the issue you choose.
Developing your research question requires many aspects to consider. You will need to focus on your specific issue by asking different variations of your question trying to narrow down your focus while keeping track of the different variables that are required to write your paper. An analysis of your topic and it's requirements should show your understanding of your writing situation. While doing research and honing your research question, you may find that the insights you have gained from the information you have gathered will affect the stand you choose to take. It is not uncommon to have to make adjustments as you go about refining your final question. You will narrow the scope of your research as more information is collected and your understanding and views are challenged.
Creating a research proposal, or formal presentation of your planned research, can be a useful tool in gathering your thoughts and ideas to help guide you in organizing your information and explaining how included information is relevant to your finished project. The sources you choose is important as well as the information you choose to include in your research project. Used as an outline, a research proposal can be a useful tool in writing a well thought out, concise paper.
