A relevant, manageable research question is absolutely necessary for effective research, here are a few tips to get you started.
1. Choose an appropriate topic or issue for your research, one that actually can be researched on a topic that will matter to your audience.
2. Make a list all of the questions that you'd like answered yourself. Choose one question that is neither too broad nor too narrow.
3. The amount of information available can guide your decision, too much can be a burden to sort, too little can limit the effectiveness of your paper.
4. Write about what you know whenever you can, this can cut down on background research and planning time.
