2 Nature and Concept of Research Problem
To conduct proper research, one needs to realize that conducting research cannot be
done in a haphazard manner. To organize or focus the search, the process needs to be keyword
driven; what you retrieve from a search will be dependent upon the computations you put on
the search field. Therefore; it is advisable to put your topic in question form first, and then ask
some basic questions:
1. What is the main idea of my paper?
2. What specific ideas am I trying to describe or prove?
3. What academic discipline does my topic fit into?
4. What specific aspect of the topic do I wish to consider?
