Research Methodology (Lecture 9 ) Choosing Your Research Problem[Part 3]
Hello STeemians!!
Hope you all are fine.Today i am gonna share "How to choose a research problem".
- Can it be enthusiastically pursued?
It is important that you pick a topic you are enthusiastic about.
- Can interest be sustained by it?
The topic should interest you over the long run.
Experiments won't go right; equipment will fail; data from other sources won't arrive on time (or at all); others will do work that competes with your research.
During these times you'll need courage and fortitude.
- Is the problem solvable?
The problem should be solvable in a reasonable period of time.
- Is it worth doing?
The research community should be interested in your results.
- Will it lead to other research problems?
The topic should not lead you to a dead end. There should be some interesting future work.
- Is it manageable in size?
Your supervisor will help you determine how to make your dissertation original and publishable, yet also manageable.
- **What is the potential for making an original contribution to the literature in the field? **
Potential Publications
- If the problem is solved, will the results be reviewed well by scholars in your field?
Not only you should think that you topic is a good idea.
- Are you, or will you become, competent to solve it?
To solve the problem you'll also need to develop basic knowledge and technical understanding, relevant skills and experimental expertise
- Will the necessary research prepare you in an area of demand or promise for the future?
Not only look on your current goal, look a step further
Results describe the services or products to be delivered to the intended target group
–It should be possible to measure results through the use of objective indicators
Indicators are used to evaluate the success
Objective: To develop efficient links that do not require synchronization
Result: A new link architecture is defined and Implemented
Indicator of success: The new link architecture and clock generation infrastructure allows to speed up the design process compared to the synchronous design style and consumes less power with an are overhead of less than 10%
Research statement is written clearly
Problem stated in grammatically complete sentences
Problem has clearly stated limitations.
Statement has potential for leading to important results
The statement will lead to the analysis of data.
Problem has been reviewed by someone else who provided feedback.
